David's "New Trick"

Thursday night, 9/4/08, we were at Life Group and David was on his blanket on the floor while everyone was visiting. Charlie (the leader) and his daughter Claire were playing and laughing and David was determined to see what was going on. David cocked his head back, but still couldn't see. That boy did not give up! He kept trying to look, ended up on his side, and before you know it he rolled over onto his tummy! I think Rebecca and I were the only ones that actually saw him do it and we were both just staring at him in disbelief. He's only 4 1/2 months old! (I gave up reading the baby books because I don't have time with school starting so I'm not sure David is early, on time, or "behind schedule" with this skill.) So of course I flipped him onto his back to see if he would do it again. By this time everybody else had heard and so they were all staring at David and cheering him on. It took him a minute, but he did it again and the house erupted in shouts of joy! What an exciting night! We tried to get him to do his "new trick" again since I finally pulled out the camera, but he was just to worn out....and then the battery died on the camera. Mommy has to do better in the "keeping the camera battery charged" department.

We shot some videos later on of David doing his new thing. Here's a good one. Enjoy!
