Growing Up

What a beautiful little girl we have been blessed with! She is growing so fast too. We took her to the doctor at the end of March to find out that she is in the 93rd percentile in height and the 82nd percentile for weight...what a tall drink of water! She's all healthy and happy. So, we started her on cereal after our 4 month appointment. She's getting pretty good at it too, but we're still trying to get her to take the spoon without her binky following it! That's ok, we'll get there.
She's also getting pretty good at grabbing things she wants. We have entered the grabbing phase, what fun! The other night we had strawberry shortcakes for dessert. Aaron had her on her lap while eating his, and she sure liked the way that bowl of sweets looked. She started reaching for it, and she was persistent. Aaron would move the bowl away from her, but every time he brought it in front to eat some, she was coming at it again! It's no longer easy to eat with her on our laps...what a fun phase we're heading into!
