My special 12-weeker

Baby L just flipped himself from his back to his belly...which supposedly he shouldn't be able to do until 5-6 months, according to this statement from babycenter on developmental milestones (which of course I don't really care about...but still):

"Your baby may be able to kick himself over, from his tummy to his back, as early as age 2 to 3 months. It may take him until he's about 5 or 6 months to flip from back to front, though, because he needs stronger neck and arm muscles for that maneuver."

We've thought he was awfully strong since birth! That was really fun to watch! If I'd been thinking, I would have taped it, but here are the stills from moments ago...



C stuck her hand in the picture, but she wasn't touching him. He wasn't so happy to be on his belly once he got over...so we helped him back.

While I'm focusing on Baby L, I weighed him yesterday: 14 pounds, 3.5 ounces! That's a pound and a half that he gained while in Alaska.

Brag session over. Return to your previously scheduled web work!

Hey, Jen. I loved looking through your Alaska album. Looks like everyone had fun. Your baby L sure is growing fast. Don't you wish we could slow it down some?
Love to you all.

It's 'cause of regular nakey-time!
And of course due to his extraordinary talents.
M just did it too (okay, she's 16 weeks already, but still). She was diaperfree at the time too. She rolled onto her tummy, pushed herself up on both arms to look around, and then rolled back onto her back.
