Infant Gymnastics

A couple weeks ago Peter did his push-up roll-overs. Then nothing.

Yesterday Peter rolled over, without doing a push-up. Then he did it again. And again. He did it so many times I’m thinking of changing his name to Bob Roll (and we’d then have to see if he has a gap in his teeth when they come in).

It does cause us some concern, though, because he has such a powerful motor in that no-longer-so-little frame of his, and once he gets going there may be no stopping him. First it’s flipping over, then it’s crawling, the next thing you know he’ll be running around the block with scissors in his hands…

Last night Peter was sitting on my lap, sticking his hands in his mouth. At one point he had grabbed on to one of my fingers, and then started gumming that finger. I don’t think I’ve ever been gummed before (slobbered, yes – gummed, no) so it was a new experience. It kind of tickled.
