he rolls!

- Last week James was able to somehow move across the room through his wiggling.
- A few days ago James started to arch his back in his bumbo so dramatically that it freaked me out.
- Two days ago I put James in his bouncer seat on the floor and a few minutes later looked over to find him on the floor. He was just laying there happy as can be.
- Yesterday he was lying on a lounge chair at the Ridings and Kristi got nervous because he was throwing his body all around. I assured her that he wasn't rolling yet, but agreed that he was moving a lot and picked him up.
- This morning James rolled from back to front (he has been rolling from front to back since he was 3 weeks old). He isn't even five months old and he is rolling both ways (Thatcher was six months before he was doing that)! Looks like I have a little prodigy.
- The rest of today James has been rolling, wiggling, and moving like never before. It is crazy how fast things can change.... this means a lot for us: time to get Thatcher sleeping in the toddler bed (something we have tried a few times and is not going so well); time to help James sleep well enough through the night that he can go into Thatcher's room; and time to get both boys to go down and wake up together (even for naps). This is going to be tricky!
