Come on, Erik, rollover!

As you see, Erik has discovered it is possible to roll from his back to his side. He spent some time with his friend Brooke, who is five months old and rolling. She seems to have taught him the basics. He still doesn't have the momentum or something to get all the way onto his tummy. It's definately not from a want of cheering from his mom. I spent good portions of Tues and Wed afternoons laying on the floor next to Erik, trying to find something motivating enough to make him roll over to reach it. He's still waiting.

It's hard to tell from this picture, which was taken with a timer, but Erik has a new favorite activity. When he's done laying on his back, I can take his hands and pull him to sitting and then to standing. And Erik loves to stand.
