Dorothy rolled over twice today, all by herself! I had her up in my office, on the activity gym. I was laying down on the floor so she could see me, and I just figured we'd get her some tummy time (I had no expectation of roll-overs). She was looking around, and then it was like she just decided to roll over. She didn't even stretch her head way up and around like last time. She just leaned her head over a bit, and pushed with her foot, and voila! She was on her back.
I congratulated her, and then I put her back on her tummy. And again, within a couple of minutes, she rolled over onto her back, but this time she did it in the opposite direction (i.e., she rolled counter-clockwise the first time, and clockwise the second time).
Of course, a few hours later, down on the activity gym in the living room, she was either unable on uninterested in rolling over again. I helped her roll over that time. But she's definitely starting to get the hang of things.
