In baby news...

RAB has figured how to reliably roll over from her back to her front. Each time she does so, the timeline runs something like this:

-For the first twenty to thirty seconds, she seems very proud of herself, and smiles at everyone in the room.

-Immediately after this, she remembers just how much she hates being on her stomach, and gets frustrated and upset until someone rolls her back over. Thus far, she's only been able to roll herself from front to back once.

-About twenty minutes ago, I peeked in on RAB as she slept. She had managed to roll herself over, and seemed uncomfortable. I rolled her back and she settled down, all without waking up.

I see the Vortex of Cute has you well trained...

Well, yes. :-)

She'll learn to flip herself over eventually, I don't mind lending the occasional assist until then.

Ahh, the differences of small ones. (Mine *loved* sleeping on their tummies)

Eliana did that at five months, where she would cry and wail because she couldn't turn over, then when she succeeded she'd cry and wail because she hated being on her stomach. It took a lot of composure not to break out laughing at the time, since that would only startle her more. She got over that phase in a week or two, and then figured out that being on her stomach ain't that bad. About a month after, that whole "back to sleep" thing was no longer in our control.

Regards to Aliza. Sounds like you guys are doing great.
