Roll Over, Roll Over

Natalie rolled over on her own for the first time today. She’d been trying for a while, but could never quite get the mechanics right. This afternoon, she was on her stomach and managed to support herself on her left hand, with her arm straight, while leaning on her right forearm. All of a sudden she rolled over her right side onto her back, looking very startled. Aaron and I tried to get Natalie to reproduce it for the camera, but once was enough for her. We’ll try to post a video of Natalie’s new trick soon.

In other news, we began Arabic lessons this week. Aaron is working one-on-one with a private tutor on Modern Standard Arabic two hours a day, four days a week. We’re both taking two colloquial classes, one in a group, and the other privately, for a total of eight hours a week. We hired a wonderful Sri Lankan woman named Latta to babysit Natalie while we’re at our lessons. Other than Natalie’s continuing struggle against the bottle, all seems to be working out well.
