Jane's 1st Solids and a Little Update

Last Friday night Jane had her first taste of "solid" food (besides the occasional miniscule stuff I hook her up with). Why do they call this kind of food "solids" - the stuff is mush at best. They should call it the first food that isn't out of a bottle or a breast. Anyway, it was homemade rice cereal and she seemed to really like it. I love it how their tongue, mouth, and whole body communicates that they want a bite... it's pretty hilarious!


She's over 5 months old now and rolling as a means of travel. She smiles readily and adorably but she's not a huge laugher. She's on more of a sleeping schedule and sleeping in her crib in the room that she shares with Sarah (which Sarah really likes) and she's getting up once per night. Things always change though and that is just how she's been for the last week or so. I'm sure it'll be different soon. She's talking/cooing a lot more and really enjoys being around Sarah and Nathan when they're playing. Nathan is being more attentive to her and actually noticing her existence in a positive way, though he's soon going to find out how interested she is going to be in anything he has once she starts cruising around more. That'll be interesting. There have already been a few instances when Jane has made her way over to Nathan's cars or train track and we hear "Stop it, stop it, STOP IT" from the other room - ahhh good times.

Jane is also very enamored by movies! If she's nursing or doing anything else, if she hears a movie or show on she diverts her attention to the TV or Computer. I promise that we don't set her up in front of the TV in the Bumbo, we just did it cause it makes a cute picture.

Those pictures are so cute...and look at those blue eyes. That's fun that the Stimmel's visited. I love when friends visit.

She is so cute! And love that picture of her in front of the TV. Sydney actually really likes watching it too which surprised me cause David didn't and still doesn't. And is that the amazing race on the screen? I watched it the first couple weeks but have missed it since. It's pretty entertaining.

What a big baby she is now! That's so fun that she's eating (and a huge pain, but fun still). Cute pictures!
