Pop the champagne corks and cue the falling confetti! That's right LwH followers, this is the post you have been waiting for prompted by Ellena, finally able to accomplish the milestone we feel like we have been waiting countless days for, the roll over!
And in your FACE naysayers, know-it-all coworkers, strangers, other kids' parents, all the people who said it wouldn't be caught on camera and the like because here it is!
Near the end of a very long work week, S was playing with E on the mat Thursday night while I was nearby. She said "Quick come here, I think she's gonna do it!" I grabbed the video camera and sure enough, I powered it on and moments after I hit 'record' (and remembered to open the lens cover!), E did it!
It all played out in slow motion. She lifted her legs, listed to the left, let the weight rock her to the side, she lifted her shoulder while working the hips and with grace and amazement, she was over. Time. Stood. Still.The video above was actually taken moments later with our point-and-shoot camera as I wanted to post some footage, but still do not know how to download off our video camera. Now the real amazement, for us at least as new parents, happens in the video below.
If your volume was turned up, you heard me state that shortly (and I mean SHORTLY) after she rolled over, she rolled back the other direction and ended up where she started on her back, then rolled over to the left AGAIN. Congratulations Ellena, you are now mobile! - well, somewhat. We can't wait to see what you are going to amaze us with next!

Yay, Ellena!!! Next stop, 'floor rolling' in the 2012 Olympics! (We'll ask [unnamed country] about how to forge birth records and such.)
L&S - It's hard to imagine, but in the not-so-distant future you will catch yourself saying things as ridiculous as, "Ellena, stay there" or "please still still". Yes, we regress as parents. :)
