Roly-poly, my own little Bug,
Tongue sticking out, tummy to rug,
Something just tells me, I've got to watch close,
Before - whoops! - There my little one goes,
Rolling like a roly-poly, side over side -
This mommy certainly beamed with pride.

One of your firsts, for my eyes alone
I reached down and quickly grabbed my phone.
Opened the camera, and rushed to record
I just knew that your Daddy would be floored!
Nana had seen your new little act
But she was sworn to secrecy - and that's a fact!

Over and over, again and again,
I have to admit how hard it was to contain
My excitement and laughter, my joy --
Caused by your rolling over, sweet boy.
Ah, who am I kidding, I didn't even try
To contain any of my Mommy-Pride, I won't even lie.

Keep doing what you're doing,
Learning and moving, I'll keep on viewing
Your newly developing, unique personality
Oh how I love your growing originality!
Mommy's little roly-poly, sweet baby Bug
A word to the wise - Keep your tongue out of plugs!
