Exercising

James and I are working on some new moves. Auntie Erin and a baby-yoga book that Mommy got both suggest working on exercising both sides of the body. As we can see in the earlier video, James likes to roll over by pushing off with the left side and pivoting on the right side. With a little help, he rolled over the other way a few times this morning. He seemed to like it okay, although he kept trying to put his arms back in a position that would roll him over the first way.
James also likes to roll over from his back on to his side, sometimes to squirm around, sometimes to go to sleep. At night he usually rolls onto his right side, but during the day he will go on either side. This morning I got down on the floor with him, and he rolled onto whichever side I was on. Then I got up, and he rolled on to whichever side had a nearby toy. That makes me suspect that perhaps he sleeps on one side at night, not because it's necessarily his dominant side, but because that's the side Mommy and Daddy are on.
Another fun activity James has learned is crawling on his side. He squirms and pushes and swings his legs while on one side or another, and he eventually works his way around in a circle:

These pictures were taken over the course of about 5 minutes, but James is well on his way to performing amazing feats of strength and dexterity like this great athlete:
