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.
