Finnian's Journey: He did it!!

"Y'all - don't miss it. Don't get so caught up in what your sweet baby is doing or not doing. Don't obsess about this step or the next step or the one after that or what is going to happen twenty years down the line. Because one day you'll look at baby pictures and think about how adorable that baby was and how all you can remember is therapy and you can't even remember what her hair smelled like.

So, ENJOY your baby. It doesn't matter when they walk or crawl or talk. It matters that they are here and that you love them and that they know it.

Just don't miss it."

He did it!!

Finn's been rolling from tummy to back since he was 3 1/2 weeks old, but back to tummy has been quite a bit more challenging. But today I saw him do it! I think he's actually been doing it for a week or so now, because every time I put him down on his blanket and walk away for a few minutes, I come back and he's moved several feet. I haven't been sure if he was scooting or if maybe one of the other kids moves him . . . but I caught him in the act, rolling from back to tummy. I haven't been able to get him to do it when I point the video camera at him, but here are some stills:

JaybirdNWA said...: Good job Finn! I agree with you that it is difficult sometimes to get them to perform on cue. It seems that John does great until I get the camera out. Looks good though. I hope that everyone is doing well in your family.; March 1, 2009 at 8:36 PM
