From BABYCENTER.COM: "At 5 months your baby will probably be able to lift his head, push up on his arms, and arch his back to lift his chest off the ground. He may even rock on his stomach, kick his legs, and swim with his arms. All these exercises help him develop the muscles he needs to roll over in both directions — likely by the time he's about 6 months old."
Our kid decided that he would roll over from stomach to back last week on three separate occasions. When Ashley's parents thought we were ridiculous, he rolled from back to stomach right in front of them, for the first time ever! I am sure the 22 inches of leverage helped him somehow, but REALLY?!!!
Now, at THREE WEEKS, we have to be extremely careful not to set him on couches or beds without blockades in his way. Something tells me we may have our work cut out for us with this kiddo!
holy crap! i thought you were a little crazy too- but thats awesome. Way to go jonah!
