Let the rolling, and milestones, continue!

This morning, Lukas graced us with 3 more rolls from tummy to belly, and then he encored with a roll from back to belly! We were able to capture one of the rolls from tummy to belly on video camera - success! He's very happy rolling from tummy to back, but not so happy from back to tummy. Something about being on his tummy makes him quite cranky.

Then, after all the rolling, he was ready for breakfast. Today's menu, oatmeal cereal with mommy's milk and a side of sweet potatoe. It was his first time eating any baby food, so this is his official introduction into the world of solids (I don't count cereal, really). His reaction? Something along the lines of: mom, what IS this stuff? I'm not sure I like it (with a puckered up face, closed eyes, scrunched nose, and quick head shake), but let me try again (mouth opened for more).

After breakfast, and after a wonderful nap, we headed to Gymboree. It was his second class today. He's still not sure what to make of it, but he has decided he loves blanket play of peek-a-boo, being swung back and forth and up and down with the blanket, and the lovely Colombian 3-month-old baby next to him. Although I think she said something to him today to make him cry, but he got over that and was content to gaze up at the colors of the "falling parachute." We've built a house, sang with Gymbo the clown, played the wheels on the bus, and even got a foot rub -well, Lukas did, anyway. He is not liking being down on his back (or belly) now - all he wants to do is sit. I think he will be ready to graduate soon, perhaps before the month is over. Now THAT will be a site worth seeing.
