Week 22

Well, it has definitely been an interesting week for Miss A.!  Our big first of the week was in the last post, when we started baby food!  So far we’ve had sweet potatoes and squash, and she LOVED both!  We were a little worried, because she wasn’t liking cereal AT ALL, and we’d been trying to give her that for a couple of weeks.  Well, apparently she just didn’t like the taste of the rice cereal, because as soon as we started with actual food, she is like a little bird any time she sees the spoon.  Guess she just has more discerning taste than the average four month old! :)

She is also a rolling machine.  She almost never spends any time laying on her back anymore, she always rolls over onto her tummy.  She is very interested in in her toys now, too.  She spends a lot of time looking like this:

Love these baby smiles!  She is a very happy, smiley baby.  Mellow and laid back… which is desperately needed around our house these days!

She is also trying to crawl.  She mostly just sticks her butt in the air and chews on the carpet at this point, but it’s a start! :)

And, since learning to crawl is such hard work, a nap is often necessary!  She is such a blanket baby, just give her a blanket and she snuggles it up to her face and goes to sleep!

One difference of learning to eat as a 2nd child… dealing with a 2 year old’s attempts at “help.” :)

Last Friday night we went to the Providence Bowl, which was Audrey’s first football game!  She was properly attired in purple for the Kewpies, but couldn’t quite make it through the whole game awake.  Good thing Daddy’s lap is a good place for a nap!

Friday night we also went to Fuddrucker’s before the game, and Audrey wanted to eat before we were done.  So I kept her distracted with a pickle… horrible picture, but she loved the taste!

We also went out to Grandma & Grandpa Price’s to celebrate Aunt Kate’s birthday (she was visiting from Colorado).  Grandpa wasn’t there, so Miss Audrey got to try out Grandpa’s chair! 

So, anyway, big week for Audrey… she is growing up so fast!  She is talking all the time now, and rolling over, and trying to crawl!  I can’t believe it!  Sometimes I am so distracted by trying to take care of two that I forget to stop and watch Audrey grow!  I’m glad I’ll have this to look back on, that’s for sure!
