The Glittering Caves

...evening comes: they fade and twinkle out; the torches pass on into another chamber and another dream.

musa rolled over!!

wish i had a pic for yall. okay, so he got stuck with one arm under him on the way, but he was rolling, using his muscles, not just kicking. i tried it a couple of times, putting him on his back, and he sort of thrust his arms out to the left, held his legs up, and scrunched in his belly till he was on his side (he's done this before but this was the first time with such deliberation - you could see him physically trying to accomplish this particular task, mashallah.) then he kept going until he was on his belly, but he couldn't get his arm out from under him... yay!! this is so exciting!!

update: babies are amazing. an hour later, he has managed to perfect the whole process and can roll over to the left from back to belly in less than 10 seconds - with both his arms out from under him. i'm humbled... can't remember the last time i worked so hard on something i had never done before and mastered it through sheer struggle... (maybe last may, 2005, when usman and i went rock climbing?)
