Rolling the OTHER Way

Lately Ella has been using her head to move her around - she will throw her head to the side and kind of let it lead her body and can move a little bit that way. She'll end up in the far corner of her crib, or even upside down, from the middle of the crib where we originally put her down.

Today she was playing on her back in the gymini and was trying to pull the toys her into her mouth. She was able to get herself into the corner and started pulling the side bar toward her. She used it to pull herself all the way over, on to her belly! She was so proud of herself once she made it that she propped her head up and gave me a big smile. I thought it may have been a fluke but then she did it again, the same exact way. I don't think she would've been able to if not for the sidebar that she grabbed on to, or without the toys (and mirror) to motivate her, but it was pretty incredible.
