Blaine’s been tackling some new moves in the new year.  On 1/4 we believe that he had his first deliberate roll from front to back.  He’s technically rolled before a few times during tummy time, but it was clearly accidental — he got his head high enough and then threw it to one side and the rest of his body followed.  🙂 But this time he pushed off one arm and kept the other arm tucked down until he rolled himself over!  It’s only been repeated once since then, though, but he’s definitely getting there…

He’s also working on a quasi-crawl that we’re calling the inch-worm.  While on his tummy he’ll scrunch up his legs and then push off with his knees to propel himself forward slightly.  He doesn’t have any coordinating arm movements though so he just pushes his head along in front, which he doesn’t seem to really enjoy.
