Its has occurred. Although, it hasn't occurred regularly, but that doesn't mean that it still hasn't happened. Abby can roll over. Front to back was easy, and that has been master for a while. But it was back to front that has had us perplexed.
She could get half way over. Then the under arm didn't know what to do and she would get mad and just flop back. She would try again. Kicking those legs up and over, pulling her trunk to her side, then getting frustrated and flopping back over, resulting in a meltdown of tears and cries for Mommy's help.
But the past two nights, I've watched her get all the way over on her own. It takes time. The legs have to have the right momentum to swing over and pull her trunk with them. Then she has learned to wiggle her legs enough so that the under arm scoots enough out of the way for the upper arm to fall over. Last night she finally realized that she can push up on the upper arm to free the under arm and be all the way over on her tummy.
Its an amazing sight, watching the little intricacies of development happen. Each little step a little more progress. Each progression rewarded with praises and smiles (from both of us). I don't know who is prouder, her or me.
She has also mastered grasping, passing, and releasing toys. She can easily pick up a toy that she sees. Bring it to her mouth. Grab it with the other hand. Pull it away from her mouth so she can see it. Let go with hand #1. Move it to the side of hand #2. Then let it go when its out of sight. It can repeated a few times before boredom overtakes her, and fussiness ensues.
She loves play. She loves exploring new things. She loves interaction with people. If she's kept busy, she is happy. She's amazing and I am thoroughly amazed by her.
