Silly baby

I love babies.

I love their smiles, their laughs, their coos, their cuddles and especially their antics.

Gabe is almost 5 months old and he has a new trick that cracks me up. He has a play mat that he loves to play on. Whether he's on his back or his tummy, there is something to play with. Then....he learned how to roll.

So we have a new game. I lay him down on his back and he plays for a few minutes. He'll then roll to his tummy and play for a bit longer. Then he rolls away. He keeps rolling until he can no longer roll. This happens when he runs into things. The desk, the couch, the chair, his swing, the TV stand, a toy, a video, the wall.

Apparently he doesn't realize he can roll the other way yet. So, he just keeps trying. He's certain that if he tries enough, the barrier will be removed and he can roll to his hearts content. The constant butting into a wall is frustrating if his wails of anger are any indication.

So, I go save him. I pick him up, give him a little cuddle and lay him back down where the toys are.

Then we do it all over again.
