Huh. I'm zeroing in on the early rolling over. Both my DSs rolled over early--like within a few weeks of birth. They didn't do it regularly or reliably, but they both did it, and more than once. We figured it was a fluke and didn't even include that in their early milestones lists, but now you all are making me wonder if it was more intentional than I thought and may be a more common GT trait than I was giving credit for...
Weird.
DS8 rolled onto his side when he was only two days old. I remember seeing him and thinking "Hmm. I remember putting him on his back. I didn't think little babies could do that, but what do I know? I've only been a mother for 48 hours."
He rolled from back to tummy when he was ~10 weeks old. He taught himself by lying on the floor, kicking his legs, and saying "Ah! Ah!"
He'd roll over in his crib when I put him to bed. I got wound up and would put him on his back and he'd just flip over again. When he did this in his sleep, I finally realized that he hated,
hated sleeping on his back, and this was what motivated him to roll so early.
The next one was the opposite: he would scream if we tried to give him "tummy time," so we never really bothered. He never seemed to want to roll over. Then when I was waiting for the doc at his four month checkup, I decided to see what would happen if I laid him on his tummy, and PRESTO! He rolled over onto his back. Trippy.
