New tastes and more messes

She has lived through the first week of solids so we now know she is not allergic to brown rice!

I'm not too sure what she thought of this strange goo in her mouth - it tastes a heck of a lot better than her formula. She was making the craziest faces with every spoonful. The is is her favorite part because she gets to have her face wiped down and chew on the towel. So easy to please. (That is the reason for this smile!!!)

5 months old and the cutest baby ever!!!!

I don't know who likes the swing more mommy of baby. She's smiling in this picture, but is she happy because she's swinging or because mommy is in the background screaming "yeah, you're swinging!!!!" Not sure, but either way it was a nice break from playing at the house.

When daddy's away the girls will play

While daddy was camping with the boys we started our girl weekend with a little visit to the Plahn pool. Avila wasn't sure about the swimming pool, but she loved laying out in her robe.

Water Baby!!

Today was our 2nd attempt at playing in the pool. I know what you're all thinking - she's only 4 months. I know, but it was a hot day and mom wanted to have an excuse to get a tan and play in the water. The first attempt was last week and the water was straight from the hose and definitely to cold for her taste. Today the pool had sat in the sun all day and was as warm as a bath by this afternoon.

She loved floating in her bumbo chair (not a true flotation device, but it did a good job) playing with her toys while mom enjoyed laying out by the pool.

All in all it was a great day! Pool day was a success for both of us! Many more will follow, trust me!

4 months old

She is so stinkin cute (I know I'm bias). Who would have thought a 4 month old could be so fun, but I enjoy her more and more each day. She is obsessed with grabbing everything mommy and daddy are holding. She loves my little cell phone and the TV remote the best. Probably because we are holding them and their both shiny. She also loves to chew on her bib and clothes. I think she must be starting to teethe because the drool just pours out like a fountain (not one of her more attractive qualities). And her favorite thing is when people make noise and bite her arm. She laughs and laughs. I'm not sure why she thinks that's fun, but she is my daughter which has given her a few strange qualities already.

almost 4 Months old

We have already begun teaching her to have a love for God's Word.

The Bube Tube

Well she's 4 months old and already she is tuned into pop culture. Here she is preparing for her American Idol audition and Baby Einstein appearance. We always said we wouldn't have her watch TV, but she's a huge fan of a few shows. She LOVES music - so Baby Einstein and American Idol are her favorites. Ellen is also a favorite. We watch it everyday while she's eating lunch with Auntie Brynne. I have never seen a baby mesmerized for an hour with a TV show - leave it to my daughter to love TV!
