Food!?!

What is this new stuff you might ask? Well, it's a hearty rice cereal mixed with milk! Gwen had her first taste at solid foods this evening, and she did surprisingly well with it - she of course made faces and moved it around her mouth wondering what the new substance was, but she didn't reject it - which is a good sign! So, hopefully this journey will go smoothly and she'll continue to like and explore the wide variety of tastes and flavors that there are in the world.

Guess What?

Gwen is four months old! How time flies! Well, Gwen's life has been pretty exciting since the last time we wrote. She's had lots of visits from her family this summer - and let me tell you, she loves watching all her crazy cousins run around and get into everything, I think she's secretly wishing that she could be doing the same. Since last time she's figured out how to roll-over from her back to her belly, and has actually learned to like being on her belly for longer periods of time - I've even caught her falling asleep while being on her belly! Well, I took her to the doctor's on Tuesday and the latest stats: 13 lbs 9 oz and 26.25 inches long! That puts her in the 60th percentile and the 95th percentile, respectively. Other than that she's doing great developmentally. She's almost sitting on her own which really impressed the doctor and she making, what I think, some major jumps towards crawling soon; such as, supporting herself on her hands and lifting her butt high in the air and tucking her knees up under her. Anyways, til next time :-)
