Brief Answer:
Rolling over

Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question. It's premature to be worried about him. Most full term babies will take up to 6 months before we see them roll over. I would give your grandson until then. In the meantime, you can practice with him and just mention your concern to his doctor at his next regular visit.
