Madeline's Newest Trick

So we returned home from spending a week on the lake with Amy's family on Saturday. While we were there, we had hoped that Madeline would do something new for the family since she was so spoiled the entire time. Sadly, no such luck; however, within a couple of hours of returning home, she decided to mix things up for us.

Amy and I had set her down on a blanket in the front room and went back to our bedroom to unpack a bit. We returned a few minutes later and found Madeline on her stomach. After checking with each other to make sure the other had not put her in the position, we put her back on her back to see if she would turn over again. She did, and here is the video we took of it.



Sadly, I was not able to get a video where she starts solidly from her back, but we promise she really did (as a note to the video, please ignore the talking done by the parents, we are still not used to these pictures with sound). We have found that things are more difficult now that Madeline is able to roll over; it is harder to feed, change, and dress her.

Perhaps the only issue we have with this development is that she does not like being on her stomach for long after she gets there; this, coupled with the fact she cannot move from stomach to back means that she starts crying every few minutes when we lay her down. Amy and I are hoping that she soon figures out how to reverse the process.
