Roll Over

Evan has mastered rolling over. He managed rolling over once in a while before, but started doing it in earnest last week. He is quite an expert with it by now. Since Evan can't speak yet, I can only speculate that he is very anxious to get moving. He would roll himself onto his belly and start shaking all four as if trying to move. Then he would grunt and then whine - I believe - in frustration for not achieving his goal. Or, I should say, for not achieving his goal consistently. He moves. Mostly, he rotates in place. A few days ago, I suspect he even managed to crawl. I say I suspect because he was not where I placed him down on when I walked away. And his new location tells me that he didn't get there by rolling over many times.

I think he is on the cusp of some major development. Evan has been sleeping very badly - at night and in the day. He keeps turning himself over and looks like he is trying to crawl. We'll see, we'll see. I sense a lot of frustration. The boy is keen to be like his sister!
