It has been a pretty fun few weeks here in Jamherst. She has gone snowshoeing with daddy a couple of times and a few days after baby V rolled from her tummy to her back for the first time we watched the inauguration together & in real time, no less!
A few days later V had her 4 month appointment with her pediatrician. The pain of the vaccines was softened by the excitement of new measurements. She weighed in at 16lb exactly, 24 inches long and a 43cm head circumference!!! Her doc recommended that we start solid foods to keep up with her weight gain. Her first food was mashed avocado which she dug into with gusto! She has since dabbled in rice cereal & bananas too. She’s been exhibiting interest in our food for a few weeks now, so it felt good to satisfy her curiosity if only a little.
She’s still spending her nights in bed with us which has enabled us to enjoy the delight with which she greets the new day. She’ll pop her head up and roar/growl with an ear to ear grin that lights up our days. She has also developed quite a talent at blowing raspberries… so much so that she showers her face & has required a change or two because of how damp her tops get! She’s exploring her 6-9mo wardrobe these days since she has nearly outgrown all of the smaller items!
Onward to the next adventure!
btw – i’m posting this now despite the absence of the video of V rolling. i’ve been sitting on the post for a week and haven’t yet had time to figure out how to get the video onto the blog, so i’ll put it up when i can!
