So lately, I have been worried because Anna has not rolled over yet. Juliet rolled over before she was two months old, and I know I can't spend their lives comparing them to one another... But Juliet is the only other baby I have known. She is the standard for "normal baby" in our house.
So anyway, I've been worried and, of course, feeling guilty because I am sure it's somehow my fault. I haven't given Anna as much tummy time as I gave Juliet, and that is probably a contributing factor to the delay with Anna.
But this evening, she did it! I put her on her tummy on her activity mat, and she flipped over with two minutes. She didn't struggle or really have to work for it like Juliet did. She just flipped. I was so excited and happy, and exclaimed, "You did it!!!" I put her back on her tummy, and within 45 seconds, she'd rolled again. Juliet got excited because I was excited and got down on the floor with us and kept saying, "Yay, baby!" and clapping.
I feel so proud of Anna... And so relieved that I haven't done some sort of permanent damage.
