Updates!

A lot has happened since the last entry...she is days away from her 5 month birthday already! Time flies! We celebrated Halloween and tomorrow is Thanksgiving. She's been eating some rice cereal and also some oatmeal. Some of the time she will devour it, other times she has no interest in the new food. She's been rolling over from her back to her belly a lot, still hasn't really rolled from front to back more than the first time Oct 3. She's enjoying her belly time and the view. She's been battling an ear infection, it's got a good hold on her and we're doing anti-biotics. However, she shows no symptoms so she's been pretty happy baby! She loves to laugh and giggle at "funny" things we do. She saw some friends at a couple baby showers a week ago and tolerated her "mom-made" head band with class! There are also a couple of pictures of her sleeping on her play mat...she wore herself out playing so hard!

She continues to amaze us and bring us unpredictable amounts of joy. We continue to work on getting enough food into her during the day so she doesn't need to eat at night. Until then we have 1-3 feedings at night still of quite substantial portions of food. Slowly we are making progress, only to go back when she hits a growth spurt.

Day care continues to pass on good reports. Couple funny stories from day care: she was spotted having a "conversation" with two other babies while they each sat in their chairs or were crawling. They had a lot to say to each other apparently. Yesterday, her "boyfriend" Luke was pulling her hair and she didn't mind it at all. And today an 8 month old girl tried to take her shoes! So she just kicked her feet so she couldn't get a grip! She's quite the trooper and seems to really flourish in the social atmosphere. She always has a lot to tell me when I pick her up.
