Max's new trick

Max has officially mastered rolling from his belly to his back.  He still can't roll from back to belly, but we've got at least 180 degrees down pat, we'll just keep working on the other 180.  Basically, this just means that tummy time is officially over because he just flips over. Or so I thought.

He actually started doing this on Wednesday, so at Thursday morning's playgroup I was so excited to show everyone his new trick.  Everyone gathered around Max's blanket and I put him on his belly and he just flopped around like a trout.  At one point he pulled his knees up under him and scooched around on his face.  "Seriously!"  I told everyone "He was flipping over like a champ yesterday!".  Sadly, he continued to refuse to perform for my friends.  Little bum.

I tried again in the evening, I told John all about his rolling abilities and put him on a blanket on the floor, where again, he just flopped around and did the face scooching thing.  John got bored of watching the baby give his face a rug burn, so he went back to watching Jeopardy.  No sooner had he looked away, than Max got with the program and flipped over onto his back.  I started clapping and telling Max how awesome he did. I think John thought I cheated and flipped him myself.

So, I still have no witnesses to this new trick.  Maybe I'll hide the camcorder somewhere to try to get it on video.  THEN people will believe me.  I suppose unless they think I'd used some kind of special effects.  Nah, they'll never see the wires :)
