He Rolls!

Joseph has been rolling for a few weeks now. His first rolls happened when he was two months old! He loves 'tummy time', and I am sure that helped. He mostly rolls to his right side, and yesterday we counted 9 rolls in a row! The look on his face right after he rolls proves that he isn't doing it entirely on purpose.

When Ian was a baby I enjoyed being the screen writer, director and producer of the home movies he starred in. I'd set the stage, select the perfect outfit, make sure no annoying music was playing in the background, and pick up any dirty socks that may enter the view of the camera. Nowadays, I am lucky to get a decent video of poor Joseph at all, let alone one not corrupted by dirty socks, the obnoxious sounds of children's toys, and of course, the big brother. Expect that stains will also be present if my kids are wearing complete outfits at all.

Even though Joseph doesn't actually roll over during this video, I thought it was a fun illustration of what I am up against in my efforts to get a good home video of him. Poor second child.

Hahahahaha. I have no video of Nathan without Connor yelling in the background that it's his turn. I love this video. So true... those poor second children.... :)

Holy Cow! He's already rolling around? It seems like just last week we were reading the good news about his birth! As always, you have such cute little boys :)

So cute! Audrey just learned how to roll over (and I tried to post a video but couldn't...grrrr).
Your holiday pictures are adorable.

I can't believe he is rolling already. Adam was 6 months old before he figured that out. But then again two weeks later he was crawling.

Joseph is so cute. Oh and it never fails that when I get out the video camera Sophie always wants to be the one in front of it.

I love seeing Ian's chubby little hand go in front of the camera--so cute.

And Joseph is already rolling over!! What a champ!

Joseph is a little boy wonder. BTW, I love your new lay out. I still haven't figured out how to change mine with out losing my widgets. Someday we'll have to have a mini-class.

Try being the youngest of six. For a number of years I thought I was adopted because I couldn't find any baby pictures of me.

No kidding. Poor second children. I wonder if Audrie is a better baby or if I just don't have time to notice that she's being naughty.

And I can't believe he's old enough to roll over! Crazy.

That video is so funny! Where did you get that sheet of black and white pictures? I keep looking for something like that but haven't found anything. Did you make it yourself?

Jean said...

Hahahaha... that's really funny. Now I know what to expect, so I'll keep low expectations for video of Baby 2. :-)

Joseph is SO CUTE. SO CUTE. Yaaaay for rolling!
