Rollin', rollin', rollin'.... Keep those babies rollin'...

One of our jobs as first time parents is to keep a keen eye on those ever-so-useless "milestones". Although, we understand that they are general guidelines and every baby progresses at their own speed, there is still a difficult-to-control desire to see Ethan hit those milestones on time. As such, we have been eagerly awaiting Ethan's fourth month so that he could start rolling over. So we had the calender marked for April 16 as the day for Ethan to roll over for the first time. Well, as it turned out, Ethan decided that he would not be happy with merely hitting that milestone head on, he wanted to be early. So on April 14, he rolled over for the first time. He was a bit shy with it at first and rolled over when no one was looking. His aunt Ashley put him down for a little "Tummy Time" and turned around for a few seconds just to turn back to see Ethan on his back with a look of pure shock on his face as if to say "What the hell, just happened???!!!" Well, by the next day Ethan had the whole rolling over thing down pat and would no longer tolerate ANY "Tummy Time". So at only 3 months and 29 days, Ethan beat the 4 month milestone by a full 2 days. Now, does this mean Ethan is going to be a genius, you might ask?

Yes, I think it does.
