• Has been working to rolled over from his back to front all month but hasn’t accomplished it yet

• On April 21, Jax was trying so hard to roll over, so I moved him to a different blanket away from Jase so he had room, when I turned back around Jase rolled over from back to front.  He has also rolled over at daycare that week.  
• Laughed at daycare for the first time on April 23 and has given little laughs at home once in a while.
