Roll Over

Pierce rolled over for the first time this morning! (Brock said he did it a few weeks ago, but it didn't count to me since I didn't see it.) I put him on his tummy, and he rolled over twice to his back. Of course, when I got out the video camera, he wouldn't do it a third time. He did roll from his side to his tummy on camera though. I was impressed that he managed to get his arm out from under himself. I'll have Brock upload the video tonight so you can watch.
We took Pierce to a chiropractor last week. I fought it for awhile because I thought we were going to be trying physical therapy, but we all know how that turned out. Brock made an appointment with a chiropractor. I was nervous. The idea of taking my baby to a chiropractor wasn't really what worried me the most because I figured they'd be gentle. It was just that I didn't know which chiropractor to take him to. I wanted a recommendation from someone I knew. Brock said he just wanted me to go talk to the chiropractor, so I agreed. The morning of our appointment, I remembered that one of my friends at church has a daughter with scoliosis, so I emailed her to ask if she had been to a chiropractor. She said yes, and it happened to be the same one that we had an appointment with! They've been taking their daughter there for a long time and love it. That was really all I needed to feel good about taking him there, so I went ahead and let the chiropractor adjust him. She just kind of held onto his neck for a minute or so and then said she was done. His neck seemed better as soon as we got home. He was turning his head both ways. He's been spitting up a little less too. His neck seems stronger. We went back today, so hopefully he'll be even better now. She recommended we take him to cranio sacral therapy also. We'll look into it.

WOW! I'm so jealous! Betsy rolled from her belly to her back like a month ago, but hasn't done it since! She gets really close rolling from her back to her tummy, she just has to figure out to move her arm. YAY for Pierce!!!

Yay Pierce! He is getting so big. He almost weighs as much as Sophie. :-)
The Parkers' chiropractors are awesome...we use them too.
