Roly Poly Grady

The past few days have been quite eventful in Grady's development.  On Friday, he rolled over for the first time from his stomach to his back.  He has only done this for me.  Taylor hasn't witnessed a roll over.  Luckily I got it on video so Taylor can't accuse me of making up stories. 

Sunday morning we found Grady sound asleep on this stomach.  Apparently he figured out how to roll the other direction.  Ordinarily this would be great!  The problem is, Grady tends to roll over to his stomach while he's sleeping, then he gets stuck laying on his arm, wakes up and gets mad.  Last night I heard him fussing at 11:30pm.  I went into his room, found him on his belly and rolled him back over to his back.  What does he do as soon as I start walking out of the room? ROLL! On his stomach again and fussing.  Finally I get his to take his pacifier and go to sleep on his back. 

3:30am:  Grady is back on his stomach and MAD!  I try to just roll him back over and give him the pacifier again.  This time it doesn't work.  He's really worked himself into a tizzy.  We decided he might be thirsty after spending some time outside in the heat on Sunday.  Grady gets a bottle and we put him back in bed.  I check on him several times until around 4:30 to make sure he doesn't roll onto his belly.  Thankfully he slept well until 7.  As he's waking up, he starts rolling onto his belly again! 

This rolling around wouldn't be so bad except that is wakes him up.  Plus, he tends to bury his face in the mattress, which can't be a good thing.  What I don't understand is that I know he can roll from his belly to his back, but for some reason he only rolls to his belly and can't figure out how to get back.  It's like he forgot how to go the other way!  I have never seen such an active sleeper! The kid needs to sleep in restraints for his own safety.  (don't worry, I would never do that)
