Robert Nicholas Long

Robert learned to roll over this week!! He'd been rolling over front to back (like a turtle going belly-up) for some time now. But rolling back to front was a big milestone.

We think it all started with this saucer, which his cousin Nathan recently outgrew. Here Robert is on a voyage of discovery in which he realized that he can move himself around with his feet.


We spent a lot of time in the saucer this week. The saucer rules.

Then, at the end of the week, he did his trick! Here's a short (1.8MB) video of one of his first rolls. It's a bit dark but you can make out his moves, and see Paris' hands giving him a pat on the back after the performance.
If you have a regular phone line connection to the internet, you might want to save it to your hard drive first by right-clicking the link and choosing Save As. Then save the image to your computer and double-click on it to view.
