I Can Roll!

Grant has finally learned to roll over. It was something that we have been waiting for for a long time. He started to roll from his front to his back (which is much easier) when he was about 8 weeks old. He never did it consistently though, and couldn't ever roll from back to front. Well yesterday he finally did it! But along with more movement comes more danger. He rolled over to the counter in our bathroom and pulled the hair straightener down on his head! Thank the Lord it wasn't turned on, but he got a shock nonetheless. I think it was the first time he has actually cried from inflicting pain upon himself. Sad :( We learned very quickly the importance of keeping things out of his reach! So now he can roll from his back to his front almost immediately when he is put down, but once he gets there he forgets how to roll back over and cries for someone to help him back onto his back because he doesn't like being on his tummy! Hopefully he will figure it out soon, because it is slightly annoying to have to constantly go turn him around just to have him roll over again! We are excited though for this new stage in his life. It is hard to believe how quickly he is growing up.
