Parker Week 22 – Sooooo Close!
June 12, 2009
I know most babies are supposed to start rolling over sometime around 4 or 5 months. Xander was 7 months old before he figured it out and boy was I stressed out that he had some sort of delay betweens months 4 and 7! Of course he doesn’t – he is just fine, but you couldn’t convince my “new mom” head that everything was going to be ok.
Luckily, I’ve already gotten most of that stress out of the way, so the fact that Parker isn’t quite rolling over at 5 months hasn’t started my worry meter yet. He is much more patient with tummy time than Xander was, but as you’ll see from the picture, Parker is more interested in rolling when he starts from his back. The day we took this picture we were certain he was finally going to get all the way over – he was so close! He just keeps getting stuck on that darn shoulder. I just know he’s going to get it figured out any day now – I can’t believe how fast he’s growing! Wasn’t he just recognizing my face just a few weeks ago?
Yeah, it was about the same with Samantha. She rolled over during her 5th month, and she did it back to front, which I think is opposite of what most babies do first. She was so close for a while, and kept getting stuck on her arm/shoulder. Parker will get it soon!!
my xander didnt roll over until almost 5 months they dr would ask me if he did it yet when he was 3 months and acted like it was weird he didnt yet…so I switched doctors and this one seems to know babys better
