Mobile, Babyama

Well, we sure don't live in Mobile, Alabama (I think I have driven through there once though), but we have our own little Mobile Babyama around our house! Ian is constantly making new developments in his ability to get around.

I often lay Ian on the floor in front of his bathroom while I get ready (most of my stuff is still in there from when James worked night shift and I used Ian's bathroom during the day so I didn't disturb James). Ian just loves to look at the walls, light, and all the doors. So today, I put him down to finish getting ready so we could run errands.

I turned around, and he had rolled over! Ian has rolled over several times in his room on his rug, but he doesn't ever seem to think about rolling over when he is in other rooms of the apartment.

I finished getting ready, turned around to pick up Ian, and found he had rolled over yet again! This was the very first time he had rolled from his tummy to his back without any help. He had also scooted around so he could touch the laundry room door.

Also, our little guy is figuring out how to move around more in his jumperoo. The jumperoo seat actually turns a full 360 degrees, and we will move Ian around in it, but he has never tried to turn circles on his own. Yesterday, he was playing in his jumperoo and I looked over to see that he had managed to turn himself a quarter of the way around! I am not sure how he did it - I still have yet to catch him in the act.

This was his starting position (of course, the picture was taken afterwards - Daddy came home right about then and was congratulating him).


Here he is having turned himself!

You know how I was so excited and ready for him to crawl? I'm not so sure about that now! My baby is growing up and it is sad to think he'll never be my little un-mobile baby again. We're still very proud of him, but I am definitely cherishing each and every day before he is scooting around on his own!
