No camera, so no new pictures.  Yet, even without a camera, life marches on, so I figured I could update anyway.

Dylan has added rolling to his arsenal of tricks.  (He can also hold his own toys and blow spit bubbles - Harvard should be calling us up any day now.)  He's been working so hard on this.  Any time he was on his back, he would try so hard to get to his tummy.  His little legs would be over, and he would press his head and shoulders into the ground, but his body just wouldn't cooperate.  There's a lot of body there, not to mention that pesky arm getting in the way.  Yesterday, though, he managed to complete a roll!  We were playing in Abbey's room in the morning, and he flipped all the way onto his tummy.  Abbey was so excited and giggling, which was almost as cute as the rolling.

Of course, he immediately remembered that he is not a big fan of hanging out on his stomach and started protesting the new position.  Unfortunately, he can't roll from his tummy to his back yet.  Fortunately, I was right there to roll him back to his back and give him a few comfort snuggles to calm him down.  I hope that's the kind of mommy I can always be.  When my kids get in an uncomfortable position, I want them to know that I am there to help them out and wipe their tears but that I want them to eventually be strong enough to figure out the solution themselves.
