Zoe-Rolly polly

Zoe has been practicing and practicing and has managed to perfect the back to tummy 180. After much frustration and numerous false starts (179 degree roll, awkwardly pinned arms requiring immediate parental intervention, bizarre pretzel twists with her upper body stuck to the ground and her little legs flailing) Zoe has become a master at the frontside flip. She has even started to enjoy tummy time and now grins proudly at us, at least for a little while until she realizes that she can't actually reverse her 180 and she is stuck on her stomach.

Today, I am proud to announce, Zoe has completed her first 360! She rolls adeptly onto her tummy and then starts to rock back and forth until she manages to gather enough momentum to propel herself over once again onto her back. Her success rate is not too high, but she did perform this feat TWICE today.

Here is a series of pictures on the 180, the 360 feat has not yet been captured on film.
