Totally the face of an advanced cerebral cortex...Apparently most babies don't roll over until 4 or 5 months of age. Of course I'm wondering what this holds for his future. I mean, Mozart had music, John von Neumann had math, Saul Kripke philosophy. I'm thinking that with his whiz kid mad rolling skillz that Ozzy will one day be a genius...sniper? Really good at dousing fire should he ever be engulfed in flames? What other use could the world glean from this obvious gift?
Meanwhile, Zoey has been spending her mornings at ballet class and her afternoons at Tae Kwon Do. With maybe just a little bit of trouble adjusting her body language between each class...
She is the only girl in ballet who wears a black tutu in a sea of pink and purple, and the only girl in Tae Kwon Do who wears a bow in her hair while she strikes k'ihap.Be still my beating heart. Wunderkind powers activate. Form of: My Everything.
p.s. If you Google "my child is a..." with the intent to search "genius," Google finishes your sentence with the following: bully, brat, sociopath, monkey, psychopath.
p.p.s. Sometimes I wonder if all these photos everyone's taking these days with iphone app Instagram/Hipstomatic/Camera Bag filters will look dated someday. Like how one day in 2003 I looked around my living room at all the faux distressed cream colored furniture and realized I had somehow become Rachel Ashwell's bitch without my knowing it. Thoughts?

Yes! I did ballet and tae kwon do at the same time, too. I was about the same age, as well. I loved them both equally but eventually tae kwon do won out and I did it for 6 years!
I can't believe Ozzy is already rolling over!
And I hate to say it, but I hate this retro photo craze. I know that everything old is new again, but why are we dating ourselves when we can make the pictures sharper and more vibrant now instead?
Anyway, great post! Miss you!
Yeah, the thing with the pictures seems faddish, and more "look what I can do!" than "this picture looks way better now that I'm done with it!"
"Rachel Ashwell's bitch"... this is why I bloglove you.
My son rolled over early, too! At five weeks! And he did it all the time, like it was his favorite activity. As far as his current level of genius-ness goes (at eight)? It's a mixed bag. :)
But huzzah for early development and wunderkind of all types.
