From "Your Baby's First Year Week by Week," by Glade B. Curtis, M.D.:
"A big accomplishment around this time is baby's ability to roll herself over ... she may roll from back to front, or front to back."
Upon reading this, Marcus and I looked at each other. Excitedly, we grabbed Alex, and lay her face down on her Clifford-the-Big-Red-Dog blanket. Then, we stood back, and wearing our most encouraging parental expressions, waited for her to do her thing.
And as you might have guessed, she did this:
Hmm.
Well, I bet she was rolling over on the inside. Where it counts.
I will say only two things. First, these might be the cutest pictures of Alex I've seen so far. Also, burn that book. Can you trust a man named after air freshener?

get ready, this will mean the beginning of baby proofing your house and the end of being able to turn your back on the little one for a second.

I love her mittens! I know I will be one of those mom's that gets worried every time their baby doesn't go by the book. Glad to see that your not. Alex is a doll!

Oh she is soo beautiful. It will happen in her own time! They like to do things on their own schedule! I can't believe how much she is growing. It happens way too fast!
