Rolly Polly Man

David-Michael is now on the go!

Until a few days ago, it was a fight to get him on his belly. He learned how to roll from his back to his front at about 3.5 months, and his front to his back at around 4 months. Since then, we'd put him on his belly and he'd just roll over to his back (in fact, that was how we found out he could). He'd roll on to his side, and he'd get halfway on his belly before deciding to roll back to his back.

He started the butt wave and the straining to move forward, but nothing happened.

Then all of the sudden, he stopped caring that he was on his belly and started to enjoy it somewhat. Now he just rolls EVERYWHERE. I've had to rescue him three times (and James once). One time because he was trying to eat a chip, one time because he got under the futon mattress and one time because he put his head through the diaper bag strap. James because he got into the area of the entertainment center with the PS2 and the TV above him (it is suppose to have a door, and the whole thing is shaped like an H. He got into that bottom section.)

When we get back from our trip, we are going to finish the haphazard job of baby proofing (done just enough to keep Linda at bay and about have of those changes stop as soon as she leaves).

We also notice he has a preference to roll on his right side. Not that he won't roll on his left, just that he prefers the right. Strange little boy.
