Rolling rolling rolling

At seven and a half weeks, Belle rolled from her belly to her back during tummy time, the video of which is available on this blog. At about ten or eleven weeks, she stopped rolling onto her back because tummy often digresses into hand sucking time (she lowers her hand to take a break from the stretching and find her hand, which she immediately puts into her mouth). Play mat time has progressed and she can now touch and sort of play with the toys dangling above her. She has started rolling from her back to her side en route to her belly. She hasn't made it all the way onto her belly yet, but she is doing some great half-rolls. In addition to rolling, she can maneuver her body around such that if I lay her down with her toward toward one end of the play mat, she can rotate herself to have her head at the other end. She is making great use of her play mat and rolling and turning and playing and smiling and cooing. Belle's progress is a joy to watch.
