Like a Rollin’ Stone… Amazing.

Today was a big day of firsts!

Neb had his midterm exam today, and so B-Boy was once again wearing a matching onesie to Neb’s lucky t-shirt. (Neb had to order B-Boy a new one, since he already outgrew the first one.) To complete his rocker look, B-Boy wore his first pair of blue jeans today! He looked so cute, even though his shirt looked a bit menacing.

Are you ready to ROCK?

After daycare, B-Boy and I stayed after for an infant massage class. Two of his teachers are providing it, and I really look forward to the class on Monday evenings. B-Boy seems to enjoy it for the most part, and it really helps us get him to relax to go to sleep.

When I arrived at his classroom, he was “singing”… he has taken to do this a lot lately. I think he is finding his voice very interesting, and he likes to practice using it, especially in the car. It was quite funny, since he was well into some B-Boy Opera when I arrived.

We all sat on the floor with our babies in thier diapers only, laying on their back. Class had just started and we were reviewing how to massage his legs, when all of the sudden, B-Boy was ON HIS TUMMY!!!!

I was shocked. As you may have read in my previous post this morning, I thought it would be a week or two before he did this. It took a few moments for it to sink in… my baby is on his tummy… because he ROLLED there!

I was holding his foot at the time because that was what we were massaging. How he managed to roll over with his foot in my hand is beyond me. The best thing is that I had several witnesses, but unfortunately, Neb was taking his test at the time and couldn’t be there.

Fast forward to later tonight… I fed B-Boy and changed his diaper. We both got on the floor to lay on a blanket. I laid him on his back so that we could play. Before I knew it, he was on his tummy AGAIN!!! Unfortunately, Neb was making B-Boy’s bottles for tomorrow’s meals and missed it. And in classic B-Boy style, he refused to do it again.

Oh well. I am sure it won’t be the last time. But I must say, this is one of the most exciting things since he was born. The smile was wonderful, giggles are great… but to see your little boy roll over for the first time is just amazing. Almost as amazing as watching your baby’s daddy teach your son how to roll over.

Amazing.
