Suhaana had cracked the code for rolling over from her tummy to back sometime ago. Mainly it was a discovery born out of her deep dislike of forced tummy time. She was glad she found a way to wiggle out of them. But this week she cracked the more tricky back-to-tummy code. Here's how it happened:
When we lay Suhaana down on her play-mat, she tends turns on her side. Often it is just so she can follow some bright lights or a person of keen interest (usually translates to her grand mother). I didn't really pay much attention to it till a couple days back she started leaning on to her side so much that she almost fell on her tummy. Almost there but not quite. Her hand would get stuck somehow.
But he little girl is quite a fighter. She kept trying and trying.. Rolling back on her back and then leaning on the side again to get some momentum.. I should probably mention that at this point both her grandmother and I were hovering like busy bees over her play-mat egging her on!
And then suddenly it worked. Due to the momentum, she finally landed on her tummy. I think she herself was a little stunned what happened.. But while she was musing over 'How'd I end up here', I was all over her! Loading her with hugs and kisses at an important milestone reached! Now I can answer "How's Suhaana?" questions with a proud "She rolls over" response.
Yay !! Big milestone to celebrate :)
