Disadvantage of the Rolling Over...

So Noah accomplished a milestone that most kids can't do until at least 5 months of age, and even when they DO accomplish rolling over, it's usually from tummy to back, not back to tummy. Apparently it is the harder one to learn.

My little genius is ahead in the milestone game, but not without it's disadvantages.

For example, I woke up at 1:30, 3, 4, 5:30 and 6 to roll a little boy back onto his back because he couldn't get back over by himself and was getting pretty mad.

I hope the little overachiever learns to roll the other way real soon, otherwise moving him into his new room in the next two weeks should be a real treat.

Lol... It was the EXACT same with Joshua... He did it at around 3 months, and NEVER stopped. Though he never complained, I was always just over protective, and even if he was sleeping peacefully on his belly, i would move him to his back, because in my head i felt safer. I gave up somewhere around 4 months though, because he was rolling all over the house by then, so I imagined he could hold his own at night. That's about when I started sleeping, instead of worrying about checking on him every 2 seconds. It's awesome to watch them grow eh?

HAHAHA it is the same for every milestone they make. They each have their pros and cons. When they start to stand up in there cribs they get too scared to let go and just sit....lots of waking up for that. Walking they fall....crawling they are just never where you left them...LOL It is all great and enjoy every first. They go by too fast.

With 4 babies on the way, YES 4, I am going to have my hands just full of first to experience again.
