My first taste of cereal

The doctor said we could start Caroline on cereal, but just to make it very runny. So we put the high chair together, got the spoons and bowls out from the pantry to wash and below is how it went.

"oohh this is a cool new chair, I kind of like it. What are we getting ready for? Why does dad have the camera? I better hold on to this tray."
First bite "hmmm that's different!"

Second bite "what happen to that liquid in the bottle?"


Third bite "OK enough of this!! Get me out of this crazy chair!"

4 months old!

Can you believe it? It's already been 4 months!! I can't. We had her 4 month check up and she was 12 lbs 14 oz, and 25 inches long, basically she's a long skinny girl. The doctor said she looks "perfect," which we were very happy to hear!
She is changing daily. The past week she has really been laughing, cooing, drooling, and making the 'aa-goo' sound, and... she rolled over!!! She is putting everything she can in her mouth. Her hands, my hands, her dress, her toys, she holds my hands while I put the bottle in her mouth, and tonight during bath time she was looking at her feet like "how do I get those in my mouth" :) She has also begun to spend a little time each day in her jumper. Each time she seems to like it a little more. She looks at the face on the sun with awww, and today she started to try and bounce with her feet. Each day is so much fun.
For those of you who know her well, she has been quite fussy (she had colic and reflux). She is still kind of fussy, but her happiness is beginning to out shine the fussiness!!
I am so excited that it is summer and to be spending so much time with her. Our plans for the summer include playing, swimming, shopping, and getting a solid night sleep. :)
