Jude rolled over for the first time this afternoon!!! Even though he had been getting pretty close to doing it for the last 2 weeks, I am still shocked he did it this early!
Julia did not roll over until she was 5 months old. Jude is only 3 months old!!!
What makes this even more shocking is that he rarely gets floor time. (He HATES tummy time and does not like laying on his back on the floor much better) I try to get him on the floor at least once a day, but that does not always happen. He is also swaddled a good chuck of the time too, so that severely limits his mobility too. (Swaddling really helps with the colic) So his days mainly consist of being strapped to me (which also helps the colic), sleeping swaddled up in the swing for naps, a few minutes in the bouncy seat occasionally and sleeping at night swaddled up in the co-sleeper.
I had Jude on the floor for tummy time this afternoon and he was just screaming like he always does. Out of the corner of my eye I see Jude roll over. Once he rolled over he started screaming even louder, I think it freaked him out!
I really think Jude is going to be early on his gross motor skills (Julia was always on the late side). He is just so strong already. All he wants to do it stand. His upper body strength is so much greater than Julia's was at this age. He is already tucking his knees in under him. He can also wriggle all around his co-sleeper and the blanket when on the floor.
I think Jude is just trying to keep up with Julia already!
