Phoebe has been hard at work perfecting her rolling technique. She is still a pro at back to tummy. In the last few days she had managed to go tummy to back a couple of times, but this move lacks a bit of finesse - she usually ends up whacking her head on the floor which makes for a very grumpy kiddo. I have a hard time watching her work so hard and get so frustrated. I am never sure how frustrated to let her get - it seems like she just spends so much of her time discouraged these days. She is slowly figuring things out though, so I guess the frustration serves a purpose.
Tonight during playtime, Phoebe was on the mat with Jeremy and she figured out how to push off of him to scoot herself across the floor (on her head of course - so this is really not a mobility strategy that we want to encourage). Why is the baby so intent on learning to move? Because there is so much delicious stuff out there to shove in her mouth!

When Nathan started trying to crawl, he couldn't get his arms to go like his legs, so he face planted for a good 2 or 3 weeks. It was pretty funny after the initial "that must have hurt" moments for us.
