Roll over

Harry's favorite room in your London home is his music room. The walls are covered in different guitars that he has used throughout his music career. The room creates an energy that is perfect for letting his creative thoughts flow. Album number 3 is currently in the works and one of the major inspirations is lying on the floor next to him. Sitting on the floor Harry strums his guitar, singing out lyrics to his latest song "Beautiful Girl." His voice is soft, but deep and a little raspy. Grace is lying on the floor under her play mat. The mat is green and has different rain forest animals hanging above her head.

Grace hits the different animals with her arms and legs, causing different bell and rattling noises to ring out. The squawks coming from Grace make Harry's heart feel warm with love.

Six-month-old Grace is content playing with her toys, listening to her father's voice in her ears. She giggles and squeals with excitement. Bob is sitting next to Grace on the mat, just far enough out of her reach. She tries to reach him, but she is just short of being able to grab onto his little brown hoof. Grace reaches again, but this time with her right arm. Crossing over her body and trying with everything she has to reach her sheep. This movement has pulled Grace on her side, and onto her tummy.

Harry strums his final cord. "How does that sound Gracie?" Asking Grace for her approval of his new song. He looks over at his daughter, who is now on her tummy. Gasping, surprised by her position on the floor, Harry sets his guitar next to him.

"How did you get on your tummy? Did my little bug roll over?"

Scooting over to his daughter, Harry tucks his hand under her tummy, flipping her over onto her back. "Can ya roll over for daddy? Show daddy your trick bug!"

Once again, Grace sees Bob and reaches as far as she can. Using the same technique she used the first time, she flips over on her tummy but is still a tiny bit away from reaching her goal.

"Good job Gracie!" Harry cheers his daughter on in her new accomplishment. Grace grunts in an attempt to turn herself so she can reach her stuffed friend.

Pulling out his phone Harry pushes the button to FaceTime you. You are currently out with Anne and Gemma for a "Girls Day." The phone rings a few times before you pick up.

"Hi babe!" You say to Harry with smile.

"Hi son!" Anne says waving into the camera.

"Hi love, Hi mom, Hey Gems!" Harry says smiling at some of his favorite females. "Wanna see Gracie's new trick?"

All three women agree, nodding their heads excited to see what 'First' Grace accomplished today. Harry tucks his hand under Grace's tummy, flipping her over to her back. He turns the camera around and encourages his daughter to perform.

"Alright Gracie show mum what ya learned."

Grace turns over for the third time, finally reaching Bob. Grace pulls her sheep into her mouth as if to give him a kiss. All three women and Harry cheer for Grace and her latest accomplishment. The whole family feels proud of this little girl and her amazing new trick of rolling over.
