New years resolution? More blogs. Less fat.

So, miss priss turned four months old on the 27th, and I'm a little late posting (nearly a month, to be exact!) but that seems to be the trend as she keeps me busier and busier! This has been her busiest month yet, by far! Naturally, she's sleeping less during the day (but more at night, thank goodness!), and is becoming more and more mobile every day. I'm all about "go big or go home" so the day of her four month check up, was a BIG day for her. In one day, we had her four month shots, tackled solid foods for the first time, and moved her into her own room. Considering all the changes occurring at once, she handled it like a champ.

Growing like crazy!

The first food we tried was rice cereal, and she really didn't know what to think of it. Dustin and I had so much fun giving her each bite and got most of it on camera. She didn't tolerate it for very long, but it was a good first effort. Once she moved on to veggies, she became a little more interested in taking each bite and swallowing it... although we're still working on keeping it all in her mouth, lol. She LOVES her fruit though. After Christmas, I'll be transitioning to home made baby food which should be an entirely new and interesting endeavor by itself. Blog to come.

First solids!

Bedtime routines have been established, and she sticks to them well, for the most part. Normally, she falls asleep shortly before 8:00, and we just put her right to bed, but on nights that she's still awake, she gets a bottle, we read a book, and its lights out. As she's starting to realize she can "talk" she'll sometimes babble and growl for a while before she falls asleep, which Dustin and I love to listen to over her monitor. She's definitely getting more vocal, and went from silly growls to flat out yelling over the last few weeks. She cracks us up more and more every day. She's very resilient, and doesn't let a faceplant or two stop her from trying to sit up. A week away from five months, and she's working on it hard. I think things will get a little easier once she can sit up on her own...until she starts crawling! Hopefully I can get it together and get a few more posts in before that milestone. I'm not holding my breath, but I'll make an honest effort to post more... its my new years resolution!

Mommy loves bedtime!
