Rolling Over and Rice Cereal

Today is Birdie's 5 month birthday and we got a special treat today! She rolled from her stomach to her back. She did it four or five times, so we know that it wasn't a fluke thing! I watched her do it this morning while I was eating breakfast...cheerios and coffee.

It was a really cool thing to watch. I'm so glad that I was able to see her do it and not hear from someone else that she did it!

On Saturday, she had her first taste of rice cereal. I am giving her whole grain, organic rice cereal. She seems to like it pretty well. And she was a fast learner. Within a few bites she was able to eat off the spoon.

It is just amazing how fast she has grown. I don't think I am ever going to stop saying that!

Cuddling

So this week Birdie has started something new. She has started to cuddle. The most precious thing happened on Monday. M was hold her at breakfast and she nuzzled her head on his shoulder. For some reason, it nearly brought tears to my eyes.

When I saw this, I realized that she is in fact a little person. I also realized that she loves us and finds safety in us. What it also showed was that she does like M. For a while, he was sure that she didn't like him. I always told him she did, but I think this was the first time he believed it.

It is such an amazing thing, watching her grow. Everyday it is something new. She has almost got the roll over move down, but not quite yet. As soon as she does, I will be sure to write another post!
