Month 5 – We are now getting somewhere….. August 6, 2006

A pretty major month in terms of milestones, both Arjun and Rohan are now rolling over. They had such different approaches to doing it but eventually started to turn the same week!

Rohan had been trying for a month now , and was really really close except that his fingers would end up in his mouth and he couldn’t  make the final switch without getting them out.  It took him a whole month to figure this out and finally he got it on July 16th. The irony of it was that we kept waiting to see him do it and when he got around to it, of course none of us were around. But now that he had figured it out, we got to watch a few quick replays soon after :)

 Arjun on the other hand was happy just looking at Rohan at work. And for the longest time, it almost seemed like he was content being in the bouncer and enjoying the world around him. One fine day he decides that its time and soon enough (July 7th) he makes his first turn.  Jayesh’s mom was there with the camera ready so we actually caught him in the act ! This was a good thing because it took him another ten days before he would do it again.

 Life has gotten even more hectic since then (if at all that’s even possible). Now we have them rolling onto each other and all across the living room. We need to keep a constant watch on them, but its real fun to see how they now try to get around the place. Arjun is on the roll (pun intended) looking for things as Rohan tries to push himself ahead. Today it seems like Rohan has figured out the knack to crawling. He should be on the move in a couple of weeks. Time to get moving on those child proofing projects ….
