Rolling over, almost

I know I mentioned that Niko had rolled over once at physical therapy.  Well that was an embellisment.  The therapist allowed Niko to roll to her side, and then she placed her hand behind Niko's back.  Then eventually Niko continued to roll over to her tummy.  So while the rotation was "on her own" because the movement was made only by Niko's efforts, the therapist's hand was there to prevent her from returning to her starting position.  She did this on both sides.

Yesterday, she rolled over on her own… sorta.  She was lying on our sofa/bed.  The bed has a fold in the center which dips in just about an inch or so.  Not at all noticable when sleeping on this bed, but for a 24 inch 12lb 13oz baby girl, it's just enough of a boost to allow her to roll over.  She did this many times.
