And Katie has rolled from her back to her tummy! Sometime yesterday, she started to kick her legs and get on her side (somewhat). Then, starting this morning, she would do it non stop when we put her on the floor. All day, she kept pushing with her legs and getting on her side. Once on her side, she'd sit there and fall back to her back. Around 7pm tonight, after numerous attempts, she finally ended up on her tummy. Unfortunately her arm was caught under her every time because she doesn't know how to move it out of the way. We watched her do it twice...while completely ignoring the movie, since she was much more entertaining. Below is the excerpt I found from Babycenter.com. Apparently, babies normally roll from tummy to back first...but we know that Katie likes to be different.
Developmental milestones: Rolling over
When it develops: Your baby may be able to kick himself over, from his tummy to his back, as early as age 2 to 3 months. It may take him until he's about 5 or 6 months to flip from back to front, though, because he needs stronger neck and arm muscles for that maneuver.

Hooray! I knew she was a 'special' one. I think you should keep her. Grandma, Grandpa and Mom Mom want to see, too!
All babies are a little different. She's probably advanced and is curious of her surroundings which is making her want to move. Mali was walking at 9 months and speaking full sentences by 17 months (she actually recited the whole song "twinkle twinkle" one night out of the blue). They're full of surprises!!! Even subtle things like Lola discovering and sticking out her tongue to imitate me was hilarious this week. Yey Katie!
