Patrick’s parents are here from New York for Thanksgiving, so Joe is getting lots of extra attention.

This evening, Mary and I were at the dining room table making googly eyes at him. I was telling her how he hates tummy time, but since he has to get strong and hold his head up in that position, I make him do it every day.

To demonstrate, I put him right on the table — tummy down, with his little elbows tucked under for pushing up.

Not only did he push his little head up, but he also let it drop to the side and completely rolled over onto his back! That was a first. After marveling over that for a little while, I put him back in the starting position — and he did it again!

I can’t wait until tomorrow to see him do it again. (Who knew rolling over would be so exciting?!)
