Food, Feet, and Other Adventures

So last Monday we took on the adventure of rice cereal. It did not go over well and I admit I was ready to throw in the towel and try again in a few weeks. She got good at doing raspberries with her lips while her mouth was full of cereal and I was getting tired of wearing it and washing my glasses. Luckily yesterday a light bulb seemed to turn on and we have now had 2 days of successful cereal eating.
Here is the before picture of the first cereal attempt
She definitely didn't know what to think of it.

I don't think any was swallowed that night. It just kept running back out.

And our end result. A very mad very sticky girl. I'm so glad it got better. We can now even clean up with just a wash cloth and not a bath.

The day before our cereal adventure Mia found her feet. (At least it was the first time we noticed her grabbing on to her feet.) She loves playing with her feet now and has figured out how to take her socks off.

Sometimes she even gets her foot in her mouth.

We also pulled her exer-saucer out this week. She can just barely reach the bottom of it and today kept kicking so she was throwing herself around in her little seat. She's still a little small for it but she likes it for short periods of time.
Tummy time has been the evil word at our house. Mia hates it and starts screaming so we aren't big fans of it and probably don't put her on her tummy as much as she should be. Things are getting better though. Sometimes we can get 3 or 4 minutes now before she's screaming.

I'm hoping if I can get her to spend a little more time on her belly she might roll over finally.

This is just a random picture that I thought was just way too cute. I figured it was a good one to put in for her cousin Lucy.

Crazy she's already 5 months old!
