Rolling Over and TEETH!!

...yes, I said TEETH!!!! Leon has finally done it...all in one day!!! We noticed this weekend that it seemed like Leon was getting a tooth. I've been feeling his gums every morning just to check on them. Today, it seemed pretty big for one tooth. So, I decided to check it out. I finally got his toungue out of the way and his lip pulled down enough that I could see. Sure enough, he has 2 teeth coming through. You can definitely see the rigid edges and definitely feel them. They are the 2 in front. He will look so cute once he can finally smile and show them off. Obviously it will be a while before the top ones come in...but you'll really be able to see them then.

We have been letting him have more and more tummy time hoping that he'd roll over soon. He has been sticking one arm straight out which prevents him from rolling over. So, we've been tucking it in some when he is laying on his belly. I had him on the floor this evening folding his laundry and I was a few feet away from him. Definitely out of arms reach. I kept watching him to see what he would do. He had actually turned so he was almost facing me and actually rolled over!! He didn't even roll the same direction he has been trying, he decided to go the other way instead. So, I yelled at Skip. He came running into the living room and I said, "watch this." I turned him back over onto his belly and he did it again!!!!!!! Then I went over to my friend Danielle's house and he did it a few times at her house too! I was so excited...so we have officially rolled from belly to back and have 2 teeth coming in! How exciting. My baby is growing up more and more every day. It won't be long until he is rolling from back to belly though. He was laying on his back and gets completely on his side. He just needs to kick a little harder and he'll go right on over. Wish us luck!!!!!

    That is exciting! Jayla rolled from front to back right at 4 months too. But, she has yet to roll from back to front. She turns on her side all the time but, she has to desire to ever be on her belly. Teeth are exciting too - we're still waiting on those...

    Leon didn't either until recently. My parents got him a toy that has a mirror on it. He loves it and they have one identical to it at daycare. I put him on his belly and he'll lay there and watch himself for a while...not hours or anything, but enough to get something small done.
