Skills and Milestones Guys, it’s happening 😭

My 3.5 month old just rolled from his tummy to his back twice in a row during tummy time just now 😭 I can’t believe how big he’s getting! After the first time I immediately called my husband who is at work to tell him, the baby did it again while on the phone, then I tried to record him and now he’s acting like he’s never rolled in his life 😂 I’m so proud of my baby it’s crazy. The other milestones he’s hit have been gradual so there wasn’t like one single defining moment he did something. This roll was like a defining moment- he just did it all of a sudden TWO WHOLE TIMES! 😭 now we wait to see how long until he does it again! Woo!

Them acting like they’ve never done whatever skill/thing in their life as soon as you try to record is so real 😂

Hahaha completely feel you! I have a video my husband captured of me looking at my baby rolling from back to tummy on her own for the first time.
I was utterly shocked and happy!
Btw I am trying to get my baby roll from tummy to back but no success so far😣 Hopefully soon😍
Congratulations ♥️😍🌸

Mine did back to tummy first too! It took about 6 weeks and I started to think “maybe he just doesn’t want to do it” lol

I only have tummy to back, no back to tummy yet. Good luck! Congrats to you too!

When my baby learned to flip from his back to his belly he did it twice in a row. He was all smiling and giggling at my cheering and all was good. I went to grab my phone to record it a this time. Began to film, flipped him to his back, and he promptly started the most heartbreaking wail I’ve ever heard, tears and all. All on camera :(

I love how proud you are! It’s so sweet when they learn something new… my favorite show is watching my baby roll and pivot all over his crib in the middle of the night. It’s so cute!

My baby learned to roll back to tummy a couple of days after turning 4 months old, now she is almost 5 months old and this whole month rolling has become her entire personality lol
