The race to roll over

The facts...

Zadie is 13lbs, nimble and active, she has incredible abdominal muscles and has been doing pilates-like moves since her first week in this world. She has been stretching and almost turning over for 2 weeks - it seemed like she was going to make the final move to roll over anyday now.

Max is 20+ lbs, with a body that looks like it's made of pudding, he spends a lot of time lookin' at the ceiling and prefers be held in someone's arms while taking in the sights.

For those of you who have put money down on Zadie, it's time to pay up. In an astonishing turnaround of events Max used his substantial mass to execute a sudden 'swing of the left leg' maneuver - rolling over to land face to face, directly in front of Z. Applause was heard throughout the land...

We anticipate Z to make her move any hour now.

Paul says that it appears to be time to baby-proof the house.

This is a heartwarming and incidentally funny narrative which I enjoyed enormously. Thanks to Zadie's and Max's parents for sharing. He is one big boy - but I still think girls rule. Love from Wilma Kail
