We're rolling...

Liam has been turning over onto his belly for a few weeks now, but not consistently. He would often get stuck halfway through, get frustrated and give up. Yesterday he did it 6 times and I found him in his cot that morning upside down and on his belly- quite impressive! He's still not felt the need to continue the roll back onto his back at this stage, but we're working on it.

He's also shown signs that he is getting ready to crawl (or at least the signs the books suggest). Rather than staying in a Sphinx type pose when on his belly, he tries to push his butt up in the air and get onto his knees. He can't manage to lift his head and shoulders up quite yet, but he seems a bit of a stubborn child that won't let this challenge defeat him!

Other news, Liam has been moved into his own room. Yea! We decorated the small box room at the weekend and moved him out of our room. Unfortunately we have had to put the loft conversion plans on hold because of the ridiculous cost of childcare (it's another mortgage for us... I'm not exaggerating at all!) So, we're continuing to use his bedroom as the spare room and had to use the study as his room. It's small, but fits everything that he needs in just perfectly. I'll post some pictures of his room. This is the bedding we decided on. We've kept the bedroom magnolia and the cotbed and changer are in a natural pine.

The cool thing about his cotbed is that it transforms into both a bed and a daybed/sofa later on. Hopefully we'll get a good stretch of use out of it!
