Rolling Over, Counting and Passing

Ryan and Bennett have learned some new tricks the last couple weeks. On the 27th – so when he was 7 weeks old – Ryan decided to roll over (tummy to back). Bennett had rolled over 3 times in a row at about 6 weeks, but then didn’t do it again for about a month, so I thought Ryan’s might just be a fluke too. Ryan did it 4 times in a row that day, then has done it a few times since then, but not necessarily consistently. I only had my camera phone available when he rolled the first time, so the quality’s not great, but here he is:

Bennett has also been counting things (up to 10) for a while (usually with all the right numbers in order, although they do get mixed up sometimes) but generally won’t do it when we ask him to. He decided to count his and Bennett’s diapers the other day, so I took a little video of him counting.

And finally – Bennett decided he needed a play buddy. Ryan was laying (lying?) on the couch, and Bennett went over and opened up Ryan’s hand, put a ball in it, moved Ryan’s arm to throw the ball and said “pass!” Ryan seemed to go along with it, and even looks like he’s smiling in a couple of the pictures I took. Once again, my video is on the cell phone camera so I apologize for the low quality!
