Teethin' and Movin'

Well, Luke's second tooth made it's debut yesterday with a little more fanfare than the first. He had been a bit more fussy recently and seemed to have more difficulty with cutting this one. There is bigger news to share, however:

- Luke can now pull himself along the floor with his hands, and
- Luke rolled from his back to his tummy for the first time today!

We are not exactly sure when Luke actually accomplished the first. For a while now, he has been able to turn himself in a circle by employing a kind of hand-over-hand method. He can also slide himself backwards, though this is mostly accidental. These two in combination have meant that for a while he can wiggle himself around a little and get into things that you didn't realize he would be able to reach. But today for the first time, we watched him purposefully and accurately scoot himself along the floor to reach a rattle. We're not sure if he was able to accomplish this because of or in spite of the fact that he was on the hard wood floor and wearing his sleep sack (like footie pj's except with a sack at the bottom).

It was while doing this scooting that he accomplished his second feat. Matt and I were watching television while Luke was scooting around on the floor playing with his toys. He managed to get himself flipped over onto his back. Instead of turning him over right away, we let him struggle it out a little. Before we knew what had happened, he was belly-down again and scooting towards another toy! Again, we're not really sure if this was helped or hindered by the sleep sack!
