Roll over, roll over!

Smiling at the camera before the deed

Ooof!

Umph, ungh, sigh-

My right arm is stuck, Mommy!, but I think I rolled over pretty good!

Today, Shosei demonstrated his first roll over from his back to his tummy!  Amazing!  He is currently 4 days short from being 6 months.  I was so happy, I was patting him from head to toe and expressing my happiness with my voice, my smile, and my eye contact.  He knew he had done something great and did it 2 more times after I put him onto his back.  I kept on repeating 'Roll over, roll over!', like a chant and prior to this day, I had been saying that whenever we would practice rolling over from his back to his side with my help.  Somehow, the excess weight he was lugging on his butt and thighs let him roll over today for the first time!  Babies' first times are so precious and memorable, aren't they?
