Day 89: Proud Mary

Michal is doing quite well with most of her developmental milestones, but there is a wide range of normal among babies.  They tell parents to not compare your child to other babies the same age because of how these abilities range from kid to kid.  In our birth month group, there are babies who are starting to stand and walk (???) to babies who are just now getting used to sitting on their own.  It's all pretty much in the realm of normal, so while Michal's best baby BFF just learned to pull herself to standing all on her own, I try not to worry that Michal is content to just hang out.


Tonight I decided to do a bit of a photo montage of Michal rolling.  She is QUITE adept at rolling from her back onto her tummy, but she still gets stuck often while rolling from her tummy onto her back.  It's quite funny, I think, because she will go through the same thing over and over again, as if it is a yoga sun salutation or something.  On her tummy, push up into a cobra pose, release down to a Pilates-esque swimming move.  She then flips to her side, tries to roll onto her back, gets caught up on the arm behind her back, goes back to the beginning.  It's funny watching her go through this routine repetitively.

Eh, let's just hang out, grab our feet, and smile!
