YUMMM!!! Squash

Ally has finally found that food isn't half bad. She will eat peas, squash, mixed veggies and sweet potatoes. She is definitly more picky than Emily was. I keep trying to tell her she can't enter the yummy world of fruit until she masters the veggies, but she doesn't seem overly concerned! She would still be very happy with just me feeding her! She's funny because, as you'll see in the second picture, she always sticks her tongue out as far as she can when she is opening her mouth for a bite. It makes it a little tricky to keep the food in! I was going to wait until 6 months to feed her solids but I waited to give her a bottle and now she WON'T take a bottle whatsoever. So we started early and I'm glad we did because it took her about a month to get it. Emily is very curious about what Ally is eating. She has to try everything. She never likes it. Though most of the time when you ask her if it was good she says yes, but kindly declines another bite!

Ally also rolled from tummy to back 2 days before her 5th month. Daddy was very excited that she did it before five months, he was very concerned about that. Come on Ally, don't you know daddy has you on a schedule?? Plus, if we put her in a sitting position she can sit by herself for a long time. She loves that. I think she'll love it when she is mobile. She is showing signs of being a busy baby, you might start praying for me now!!

Here we go again - baby with orange nose! She may be pickier than Em, but I hope she likes bananas. My disappointment that Em didn't like them went deep! :o) She's busy, but not quite as busy as Em was to me, but I do believe she's a bit more stubborn than Emily was. Okay - who's she take after - Mike or Jamie??

Wow! I can't believe how much older she looks in those pictures. Devon can't wait to see his cousins again!

Too cute!!! I'm glad she's starting to like more foods. Are you making them or giving her jarred food? Maybe she is a food connoisseur and only wants the home-made stuff!!

And you will not believe this... but Zachary rolled back to tummy yesterday for the first time, too! I couldn't believe it! He did it four times in a row and promptly SCREAMED each time because he really doesn't like being on his tummy! He did the tummy to back thing about a month ago a few times, but hasn't done it since. I think he checks things off his list and figures he never has to do *that* again!! LOL
