(...4 months early)
Today we got home from a walk downtown and Ava seemed a little fussy. So we thought she might want to lay on her tummy for a bit (something we've started introducing her to this last week).
For a while she sat there holding her head up and wobbling a bit, looking around, and then she put her head on the blanket and started kicking her feet. For a bit she looked like she was trying to work out the mechanics of crawling - she even moved herself forward a few inches - but then she started to rock her whole body back and forth. And within about 30 seconds she rolled herself over onto her back!
Kristi and I were a little shocked and decided to consult our Baby 411 book. It says that rolling over from stomach to back is usually a 2 to 4 month milestone for babies that are usually on their stomachs, and a 4 to 6 month milestone for babies that are usually on their backs. Ava is usually on her back, and today she's 3 weeks and 1 day old. So that puts her about 4 months ahead of the curve!
It's a little frightening; We don't want her to be mobile yet!
For that matter, it turned out she's not supposed to be holding her head and chest up while laying on her tummy until about 2 months - and she's been doing that for a week already.
I'm going to post some new pictures in our pictures section tonight, and I'll also post again if she starts suddenly walking or programming in Java Script.

Incredibly cute pictures, Brian! We look every day to see if more are posted. We miss seeing Ava in person; pictures are the next best thing. And rolling over at three weeks -- impressive!
