Carter's New Trick

I have two favorite times of day. One, when I go to get Carter out of his crib after a good nap or good night of sleeping. He kicks his legs and smiles; love it! Two, when Brett is putting Carter to bed. It is so quiet and peaceful for once.

In other news, Carter has learned a new trick. He can roll over from belly to back! He has been so close for a few weeks and we kept trying to encourage him, but he just wasn't getting it. Brett even demonstrated several times. Then, last Friday Brett was gone and I put Carter on his tummy to play. I was looking through the mail or reading a magazine and watching Carter out of the corner of my eye. I notice he was almost up on his side and then he just rolled over! No encouragement, no prompting; he just rolled over. He looked a little nervous afterward, but I smiled and clapped my hands and told him he was such a good boy. A week later he will roll over about 60% of the time and the other 40% he will try until he lays his head down on the ground and cries. I will try to get a video of him rolling over to post on the blog as proof.
Another trick of Carter's is getting his playmat to fold over on top of him.
He just chills there until someone uncovers him.

Good job Carter! I can't believe how fast he is growing up! He looks like such a happy kid! Glad you're doing well!
