A Baby Milestone!

This is breaking news folks....Hunter just rolled all the way over for his very first time!!! He was lying on the floor on his back and he saw a pile of toys just out of his reach. It wasn't an easy task. He rocked from his back to his side a few times, then he eventually stayed on his side for a couple of minutes, all the while eyeing those toys. He then realized that he had to get his arms involved in the process and started moving them up and down while he was lying on his side. By this point he was starting to get frustrated, but he was just so close that I couldn't let him give up. I stayed by his side cheering him on. As the minutes went by he started getting progressively more fussy and I was just about to swoop in to pick him up when he did one final heavy kick that lifted him over the arm that he was stuck on and VOILA he was officially on his belly!! He worked so hard throughout the whole ordeal that he immediately required a bottle and is now sleeping to rest it all off. The only unfortunate part was that his dad wasn't here to see it. Sorry Sweetness...I'll let you have the first time he crawls!!!

This is the setting where it all took place

Alex and I love when he sleeps like this
