Rollin', rollin', rollin', keep them babies rollin'

Aaron just started rolling over this week, but has quickly mastered the task. At least to the left. He does not roll to the right. Ever.

I try to keep him on a blanket on the floor when he rolls (to protect the carpet from spit-up, not to protect him from the floor) but this proves to be a challenge since he quickly rolls off the blanket and into nearby furniture. Since he cannot roll to the right, I just turn him 180 degrees when he gets to the edge of the blanket so he can roll back across to where he started.

Yesterday, he wouldn't go to sleep when we put him down for his afternoon nap, so I finally got him up and let him roll around. As soon as I put him down on his back, he starts rolling. And as you'll see in the video below, he is fussy and tired, but he won't stop rolling. It is almost as if he has no choice but to roll if he is put on the ground.
