Caleb is officially rolling...apparently for some time now. When Jody and Shane came out to visit, Caleb rolled for the first time from his stomach to his back. Jody and John witnessed the event, but I sadly did not. Then for the next few weeks I never saw anything. I put him on his stomach and tried to get him to roll, but nothing happened.
Then on Saturday night, I laid him on his back and went to the bathroom. I came back and he was on his stomach. I was very surprised and once again very sad that I missed it! All of our friends came over that night (17 adults and 11 kids), and I told everyone the story. My friend who watches Caleb every morning finally let it slip that Caleb had been rolling from his stomach to his back for some time at her house. What a sweetheart for keeping it a secret for so long since I hadn't seen him do it.
Apparently Caleb is shy about rolling in front of me, but I finally did see him roll on Sunday. John and I were in the kitchen, and he didn't know we were watching. He lost his toy giraffe and flipped himself form his back to his stomach to grab it. We were such proud parents. :) So since I have finally witnessed the event and he has been doing it at daycare for a few weeks, I am now officially calling him a rolling baby.
Maybe his new movements will start working off some of the chunk on his legs. :)
