rolling and pushing

I put the toys purposely further away from where the girls were sitting. For a whole day, they were just staring at them. HY attempted once to reach out to the toys by rolling her body. But, it seemed like she only did it by accident. Since she fell on her side and she took advantage of if and rolled to the toys. EY was in her safe position, sitting steadily and looking at the mirror and toys. She attempted to reach forwards to the toys but not any risky attempts.

EY all of a sudden became quite adventurous yesterday and today. She let go of her usual safe pose. Instead, she took a fall into the pillow behind her, then, rolled onto her tummy to get off the pillow. With another rolling over, she was on her back lying on the floor. Now the toys were just right at her finger tips. She enjoyed rolling so much that she actually ignored the toys and kept on rolling on the floor. She was practicing and perfecting her new skills. I laid down on the floor at the edge of the blanket so that she would not roll out of the blanket. She used me as a target and rolled into me from where she was. She certainly felt mission accomplished when her head landed into my face:-) Yes, you can tell, she got a big smile on her face, just 1 cm away from my glasses :-P

EY continued her adventure on her new abilities. She pushed her body up and her tummy was off the floor. Wow, she got stronger! She kicked her legs a few times and pushed -- backwards! She moved! She pushed herself to move backwards!

It will be just matter of time that they will start crawling! Ohh mine!
