How old were your bubs when they started rolling over, and grabbing their feet? I'm a little worried that DD is behind. When do they start grabbing for something they want?

My DS didn't roll over until he was 8 months old! He just lay there like a slug, he would reach for something and if it required too much effort he'd just give up. I put it down to him being male! But once he did finally roll it was all go from there on.

lol awww!
Each child is definitely different. My little sister had a huge head and struggled with things like crawling and rolling....when she turned 1 she got up and walked....she was virtually running by the end of the day lol.
DD1 rolled at 4mnths and was grabbing toys around about the same age.
DD2 started rolling from back to tummy at 7 weeks :eek: and grabbing for toys at about 3 1/2 months.

Jessica rolled over twice when she was three months old but hasnt repeated it since.

About a month ago she started getting fascinated with her feet (grabbing them etc). She seems to spend more time with her feet in the air then laying flat nowadays :)

In terms of grabbing at things, she has been doing that for awhile. The problem is that if she cant reach something she simply gets frustrated rather then trying to move or roll closer towards it :(

Everyone says that babies do things in their own time, so I wouldnt stress too much :)

Summer didnt roll over until about 5 months old so i wouldnt worry too much :hugs:

Thanks guys. I'm just anxious for her to do something new :) the other day she recognised her name. so that was pretty cool. I'm so weird when it comes to her firsts, i get so happy i cry :laughing: and call everyone i know hehe.

I can't remember when my kids started grabbing their feet (didn't realise that was a development stage????????).

Jacob rolled at 5wks......he did it backwards and went from back to stomach first.

Brooke rolled at about 8mths.

Matthew rolled at around 3mths.

Like it says - no better job than being a mum.
I am the same - I cry when my kids achieve something new - I want to brag to anyone that will listen.
Its lovely to hear how proud you are of your beautiful girl.

As for rolling - it will happen so be careful!
I think my older 2 were rolling and grabbing feet quite early on but not my baby.
He is different, that is for sure!
I think he just wants to get up and run - he is only 8mths!
