Arrollando

The next big milestone for Miss Eliana is rolling over - except she can't quite seem to get there.  Part of it may be motivation, she doesn't get put on her tummy that often because she's so content and playful while on her back.   Mommy can't resist letting her play happily with her toys instead of trying to convince her tummy time is fun.  Besides, she usually spends her time on her stomach attempting to get her knees under her and scooch.  I've tried explaining that she's nowhere near that kind of mobility and she should focus on what she can accomplish, but it's almost like she doesn't understand what I'm saying.  And really, who would roll over on to their tummy?  However, she does love to be on her side.  She actually sleeps on her side most of the time. (Yes I place her on her back, she rolls to the side, if she can roll there on her own, she can roll back if necessary.)  And she will roll onto her side, then even roll her little bottom almost completely over before being stymied by the 'stupid arm'.  (This is a term coined by Daniel for the arm that has nowhere to go when you're lying in bed snuggling with your spouse.  Someone gets to put their arm around the other and that person has nothing to do with their arm.  In Eliana's case the stupid arm is the one underneath her that has to somehow move to allow her to roll over.)  Anyway she does manage to move around quite a bit while attempting to roll.  In this last picture she had been placed in the middle of her blanket, and you can see where she was a few minutes later.  She managed to get her whole self off by the time Daddy got home.  (I was having too much fun seeing what she could do to put her back on it.)
