Going, Going... Gone!

Rai, your learning curve is incredibly fast. Just when we were getting concerned about your desire and ability to roll over (no, we won't be asking you to shake a paw, next), you have learned and mastered this skill in just a span of two or three days.
I always thought that a big feat like rolling over would take weeks of practice with just incremental advances seen on a daily basis. On the contrary, one day not too long ago, you decided that you wanted to learn to roll over and over a very short period of time, you figured it out and did it on command. You learned every step and muscle movement necessary to accomplish a successful roll in just a few hours.
Now, if we put you on your stomach, you automatically do the much anticipated push-up but, unsatisfied with the simple push-up, you quickly buckle one arm, lean to one side, tuck the arm in, and complete the roll, finishing on your back, laughing all the way.
You're still working on the back to front roll, but we see progress there too. Lying on your back, you're constantly trying the first step of this maneuver too. You'll tuck in your legs and roll to your side but.... that's as far as you can go so far. That's fine with us, though, because we know that crawling follows fast on the heels of you getting on your stomach on your own and we're not quite ready for you to be cruising around the apartment.
