Big milestones!

Abby had her 4 month appt on August 30th and that was a big day! First, she rolled over from her back to her tummy!!! I, of course, missed it as I was in the closet getting dressed. When I came back into the bathroom, something seemed "off." Then, I realized, "Hey, I didn't leave her on her tummy!" It was very exciting! At her appt, she weighed in at 14lbs 3oz and measured 25 3/4" long. She's 93% in height so we may have a tall girl on our hands...

Later that day, Abby got her first taste of "real" food. We got her all set up on the counter in her bumbo chair and got the camcorder ready. It was so cute. She wasn't too sure what to think and pretty much just pushed it all out of her mouth with her tongue.



She only had rice cereal the first week and then we slowly have started adding in new things. Bananas was next and then pears. We'll continue trying new foods every few days. I'm following the guidelines to be sure if she has any reactions, we know what is causing it. She is learning quickly how to eat but really loves shoving her little hands in her mouth more than anything.


These milestones really felt big to me. Now that she is starting to eat food, it feels like she's getting to be a big girl! It seems like it was so long ago when she was born. Like everyone says, it does go by fast...
