Afterward, Bai Zepei went out to attend to some matters while Bai Ruozhu stayed at the inn, playing with Dengdeng. People say that at three months, a baby should be able to roll over, sit unsupported at six months, and crawl at seven. Dengdeng was nearly four months old but still struggled with rolling over, most likely because of his thick, swaddling winter clothes.
She allowed little Dengdeng to lie on his tummy on the bed, supporting himself with his bent arms. He could hold his head up quite well, and then she would gently help him roll to one side. But that was about it; he found it quite difficult to roll over when lying on his back.
After Bai Ruozhu did a set of baby exercises with Dengdeng and played their little rolling-over game a few times, she planned to take Dengdeng out for a meal. However, she was unsure whether they would bump into Jiang Yichun today.
