5th time

-took cereal the first time, the first two times didn't go over so well but we waited till she was 4.5 months and then tried oatmeal instead of rice cereal and she did much better! Tried two other times after those didnt go well.

3rd time

-mommy plans to start making your food soon

-can hold her bottle
-still hasn't figured out how to roll all the way over yet but its a work in progress

-loves to hold her feet and try to eat them on occasion too

-loves to try to eat her hands and has started looking at them a lot more.
-has taken out her paci and loves to try to get it in her mouth but hasn't figured it out all the way. She sure does examine it a lot.
-got her first dose of diarrhea and it was not fun at all. We had to put her on soy formula to get rid of it.

Books of the month...
-while learning about how to make her own food this one has some great info. It was recommended by a friend who is making her own baby food and our little girls are 3 weeks apart. She made making your own baby food sound so simple and easy.
Starting Solids by Annabel Karmel
-Morgans favorite book-Baby's First sounds

Mommy and daddy are loving every little milestone and we cant wait to have you baptized tomorrow and share in such a special day that will be. We cant wait to see what all milestone you will get to this month.
