Our little nugget

It's amazing to me how in just as little as four months our little nugget has changed so much. After her check up the other day we were able to start her on solid foods...and she has done so well! We started her off with oatmeal mixed with a little apple juice and she was definitely interested. She did well not spitting it out. Now, we have moved on to peas. Peas were very different for her as she really did not like them at first. She actually made gagging noises during a few bites, but we kept trying. Last night was her third attempt at peas and she did very well until she started screaming because she had had enough and wanted her bottle! haha But overall, we are impressed at how well she is doing. She has even started opening her mouth to take the spoon. In a few days, we'll introduce sweet potatoes!

As for other news, yesterday she finally rolled over for the first time, from back to front. We've been trying it with her for a while and the last few days she gets so close but her arms keep getting in her way. Yesterday while at my Aunt Joyce's (my aunt keeps her on Wednesdays) London decided she would roll over during a diaper change! When Steve and I got her home last night, she did it again for us. The funny thing though is that she has mastered the hard roll. We've done tummy time so much but she is hilarious when she is on her stomach because she has no interest in turning over...all she is trying to do is get up on her knees and crawl. I know I've said it before in previous posts, but we are going to be in BIG trouble when she finally starts moving because she will be into a world of trouble.

She's also been extremely vocal lately. She's learned how to make new sounds so at night when we rock her to sleep she just looks up at us and just goes to town with her sounds. Its like she's trying to tell us all about her day. I love it, but it makes me giggle. Oh, and she's been laughing a lot lately. The most we heard her laugh was at two kids bouncing a basketball on our sidewalk...she cackled for like 10 minutes. Hilarious!

Now I would like to leave you with a few photos I took of her this week. I know we take WAY too many photos of this child, but she's just so darn cute :)










Playing hard...

Pause to watch some TV

Back to playing!

We handed her a carrot to see what she would do...

She tried to find her mouth...

Still searching...

Thought this was hilarious because it looks she
is trying to smoking a cigar!
Messy face!
