Alia's Latest Trick

Last month, right on the "4-month-old-should-roll-over-unassisted" cue, Alia rolled over. I caught the big event on digital film. You remember. Well, after that, Alia decided she didn't like to roll over. In fact, she would cry every time I put her on her belly. 

Until yesterday...when this happened.

Again and again, Alia rolled over to great applause. Ajay and I clapped; we kissed her; he told her "way to go!". And then Alia clapped, too, for the first time. 

Now granted, the palms of her two tiny adorable hands never met...one hand was in fact balled into a fist so it was more like the rock and scissors meeting in a game of rock-paper-scissors. But to see her trying so hard and just how close she was to her goal... the pride on her face was just priceless.
