Roll Ben....not Roll Tide!!

Until Ben, I never realized how many firsts a person has. Think about the first time you drove a car or flew in a plane or tried sushi. All of these things were new to you. But now, I am witnessing Ben's firsts on a whole new level. The first time he sees/hears/smells/does anything, I get to marvel at his experience.
Well, tummy time is something that all new mothers are told to do. Babies sleep on their backs but need to spend a bit of time each day on their bellies so that their little neck muscles can get some work. The first time we put Ben on his belly, it was an immediate face plant! Poor little guy!! His little head probably felt like it weighed 100 pounds. Over time, he could lift it...then lift it and hold it....then lift, hold and rotate. Once he could hold it up, a new world was introduced. Usually when he is on the floor or bed he looks up toward the ceiling. Now, he can look forward at his mommy or daddy or some very interesting furry creatures!
Well, yesterday, as he was on his belly and pushing up with his tiny elbows, he experienced the first roll of his life. He pushed up and there he went. All of a sudden, he was on his back. The look on his face was priceless!! So, now Ben can roll from stomach to back......next is back to stomach! Ben is becoming mobile and our life is becoming more and more fun!!
