He Rolled Over...Yay, Baby Q!




*********************************************
First and foremost, we made it through the minor tornado that hit in our neighborhood last night with very little damage. Dona, I am uber impressed that you recognized our front entrance on the news and can't believe it made the news in Tennessee. There is a lot of damage to the houses around us: chimneys came off in whole and are in the backyard, air conditioning units are ripped from the base, one house lost an entire upstairs room, many had windows shatter, cooper was peeled back from roofs, mailboxes turned over, fences completely blown down, and port-a-potties were lifted from construction sights and dropped in front yards of occupied houses (ick). We were very lucky to have only minor roof damage. Melanie's family had a terrible scare (http://www.melaniejohnsonphotography.blogspot.com/) What a scary night for all.
On to exciting developments! O rolled over tonight for the first time. I was re-taking his three month scale picture (below--I like this one a lot better) and scrolling through them on the camera while O laid on the black blanket. I looked down and he was further over on his side than I had ever seen, so I snapped a photo (before). Within about 15 seconds, he was all the way over, and then tucked his legs and arms in (after). It was really cute. He stretched his neck to look around and lasted, oh, about 30 seconds there ;-)

Later, after his bath, he was laying on his back and went to roll over again. When he got far enough into that he knew what was happening, he started to cry so I helped him return to his back and he smiled at me. Not sure that he liked the idea of rolling over again when he was so tired after playing in the bathtub! At least, I hope that's it and and that he won't be too scared to do it again ;-)
