Rolling Over!

The average age a baby rolls over is three months. Today, Ace is 41 days old, a solid 6 weeks old and he rolled over from front to back. :) Yep, he’s already ahead of the curve in many ways, and now we’ve got it on film! Loving Husband was adjusting the snaps on his outfit while he laid on this tummy and Ace just flipped right over. I missed it and so LH propped him back on his tummy and Ace did it again… and the third time is the video you can see. Ace also is eager to walk. If you hold him under his arms he will put one foot in front of the other and walk toward you. We only have video of one step though at the moment because he became fussy – when we have more steps, that video will be posted as well.

Other events in the last two weeks include discovering Ace’s affinity toward the color orange. He is infatuated with it – and when you take it out of his eyesight he becomes instantly fussy. This began a week or so ago with a pumpkin. I was at QFC with the stroller and picked up a small round pumpkin and stuck it on the tray. Ace was zoned in on it the entire time it was on the cart… followed it through checkout and as soon as it disappeared into the bag, began to cry. I put it back on the stroller and he was a happy guy again. I thought it was a fluke or simply a bright color… not particularly orange. He’s less than 2 months old why would he already have a favorite color? But it was solidified for me when out to lunch with Vanessa at the mall we were in the Disney store and Ace was looking all around and when we got to Nemo he followed it as I pushed the stroller on by and was craning his neck to see him. I put him in his stroller and he stared at him intently. Needless to say that little $5 Nemo came home with us. So it’s the perfect time of year for my boy who loves the color orange.

Loving Husband’s now fully back into the swing of things with work and is quite happy when he is home and gets to hug his family. Yesterday, Ace had his 6 week pictures and they turned out great! They will be ready on the 18th and I can’t wait for them to be here. Stay tuned for more updates as Ace continues to bust through all those averages and smoke all the other babies in his age group. :)
