Rollin' Good Times

Gone are the days when Spud hated to be on her tummy. These days, she would rather be on her tummy than in any other positions. The moment you put her down on a flat surface, she rolls over!

She rolls over when her diaper is being changed.

She rolls over when she’s being dry cleaned (i.e sponge bath)

She rolls over when she’s playing on her play mat.

She rolls over when we put her to sleep.

She even practices her rolling (and semi-crawling) in her sleep!

We have given up turning her over on her back every time we find her on her tummy when she’s fast asleep. She rolls around so much in her sleep that we never could find her in the same position as when we put her to bed. Most times of late, she wakes up crying in the middle of the night because she keeps getting her feet and/or arms stuck in between the bars of her cot! (I guess this is the bit where both parents and baby find annoying).

Now that she can roll, she painstakingly attempts to crawl. Basically, she just keeps on rollin’ and rollin’ and rollin’, arms and legs all over the place and uncoordinated while attempting to practice her new skills. She sometimes sleeps with her butt in the air and one knee on her stomach. You can tell she is trying really, really hard to master the skills!

Spud’s like an inchworm these days. She hardly can ever keep still!

Here are some shots from last weekend as we watched our little girl go red in the face from frustration in trying to inch her way round her little play mat island, and still not going anywhere!

Patience little girl, patience...
