Can Beckett roll over???

Yesterday Beckett and I went to a sleep panel organized by other moms in our ward. We learned about how babies sleep and when I can expect the joy of Beckett sleeping more than 3 hours at once. There were lots of other babies there so Beckett had friends to play with.

These four little guys were born within a month of each other. Beckett is the 3rd oldest. From Beckett clockwise it goes Matthew (oldest), Sheldon (next oldest), Stu (youngest).




















Beckett hates tummy time so I decided to try it face to face with another baby to see if that would keep him distracted long enough to get some exercise in.






Here he's hanging out with his friend Sheldon, his first play date at the hospital. Sheldon is about three weeks older.











I guess Sheldon's ability to roll over peaked Beckett's interest and competitive side. Not to be left out or considered a "baby" by his older friends Beckett chose to roll over for the first time ever. Then he proceeded to do it 2 more times! I thought it was a fluke but since he did it three times in one day I figured he knew what he was doing. Unfortunately he would not perform his trick for Daddy or his visiting grandma when we got home. So the big question is, was it a fluke or has he really mastered rolling over? He wasn't even 7 weeks old (although he was only 1 day shy) and according to the following chart that's pretty early.

When did your baby roll over?

Q: How old was your baby when he rolled over front to back?

Three months

Four months
