She almost flipped over
Last week, my mother reported that C “might have flipped over.” When she left the room, C was on her back, and when she returned she was on her tummy. But that time no one saw it happen, and I think she used part of her “gymanee” - or whatever it’s called - as leverage. Really, I think she caught her foot on it and accidentally flipped over. She certainly hasn’t flipped since then.
But this morning, she almost did it. She was there except for one arm, still tucked under her belly. And after a minute, she pushed up on that arm and back to her back she went.
Since she hates her tummy time, I had argued that C was uninterested in flipping over. I can’t say that any longer. I know she won’t be happy on her tummy when she gets there, but she definitely wants more mobility.
I just hope I’m there when she flips. It’s so very cool to see her learn such a huge thing and make such a drastic change.

Cute. How could C know where flipping over was going to take her if she hadn’t done it before? Don’t worry,she’ll be flipping onto her tummy in no time and then she’ll be doing a new trick soon after that.You won’t miss out on anything. First’s aren’t as important as you might think they are-especially with a healthy little cherub like C.
