Rolling baby, rolling over!

For the first time in awhile Reid was awake for most of Micah's 2 1/2 hour nap today, and he had an extremely vocal and "movey" afternoon.  I was amazed at what happened with big brother sleeping, giving the baby free reign on his play mat without worrying about being trampled or smothered :)  Reid took full advantage of some alone time and figured out how to roll over!  He has gone from his belly to his back since about 7 weeks, although not too frequently, but today was from back to belly.  And once he got it, he got it.  Every time I put him down and walked away for a few seconds, I would come back to find him rolled over.  I love these new stages! 

So sorry for the annoying proud Mommy voice in this video ;)

Proud face after his first successful roll!

I also think that Reid must have worn himself out with all his rolling over because he slept for over 2 hours and would have gone longer, but I woke him up to make sure he would actually go to bed at a reasonable hour.  

Unfortunately, Christian has been out of town on business this week, so he missed this momentous event today.  I'm thankful for video chatting, however, because I was able to place the computer in Reid's crib and Christian was able to see for himself Reid's latest development.  I was replaying Micah's video of when he first learned how to roll, and was reminded a how much he (Micah) hated being on his belly!  What a difference between the two kiddos.

Nice job baby Reid!  At a little shy of 3 1/2 months, you are figuring out the first step towards movement on your own.  Keep it up little buddy:)  We're so proud of you!
