A few days ago, my sisters and I surprised my mom for her birthday. She had turned sixty a few days before so was absolutely not expecting the three of us - and Jackson! - to come sauntering in for a weekend of fun.
His aunts went home, but Jackson and I are now in Illinois for almost two weeks. He's going to meet uncles, aunts, cousins, seven great-grandparents, and even a few great aunts and uncles. And second cousins. (Phew! Did I get all that?)
Earlier today during Jackson's obligatory tummy time, I mentioned to my dad that I thought he'd roll over before we went back to DC. Little did I know that just a few hours later, during the 90 minutes I spent driving Rachel and Janice to the airport, Jackson had a few tricks up his sleeve for his Grandma. By the time I got home, a whole room of people had gathered to witness Jackson's latest performance. You'd think a child had never rolled over before given the response.
Jackson, it's like you're doing this to me on purpose. You give your first smile to one grandma and roll over for the other. Can't you give your own mom a little love?

I just finished my 4th viewing. I think my favorite part is when he rocks back and forth to get momentum going to roll over. He looks so proud of himself. What a stitch.
Amazing! Just amazing! A baby that rolls over..... I'm enjoying every new move that Jackson makes. But the best part is watching all of you ooh & aah. Life is good, right?
