After several times of me doing that he started falling over on his own!!!! Its the cutest thing Ive ever seen!!! Only now Ive got to work some more on just "sit" because he want to just fall over when I say sit!! But I think its pretty good for 3 months old!
THAT'S GREAT! I'm going to try that too...starting tonight! Mariah is just over 3 months old now and knows: sit, spin, lay down and roll over.

I have the same problem as another poster...when she gets really excited she won't just "lay down" she just starts rolling! It's so cute though!

I really want to teach her to cover her eyes when we say "are you shy?". I read to put tape on their nose and when they try to take it off and cover their eyes you repeat "are you shy?" and give treats....but I couldn't get it to work. Any ideas on how to teach this?
