A Weekend of Firsts

We had a fantastic weekend. It was my mom's birthday on Saturday, so we threw a little party for her. 

For Gemma, it was a weekend of many firsts. 

On Saturday morning, she tried avocado for the first time and really didn't like it. She made faces and kept spitting it out of her mouth. We started her on solids about 2 weeks ago and have been introducing something new every 3 days. So far, she has had rice cereal, oat cereal, egg yolk, and avocado. She loved them all except for the avocado. ***now before you starting thinking what a terrible mom i am, starting her on solids before 6 months, gemma was more than ready for food. i had no problems waiting until 6 months, but gemma didn't want to wait that long.

On Saturday evening, Gemma put her foot in her mouth! She has really been noticing her feet these last few weeks and has been playing with them a lot. We were so excited when she started sucking on her toes. It was so cute. My mom has always said this is a sign of a mild-mannered, mellow, happy child.

On Sunday afternoon, my mom brought her to the back yard while Jesse and I were building a raised strawberry bed. She put her bare feet down on the grass for the first time and didn't seem to like the prickliness all that much. She kept on doing the tree pose with her feet and cringing her face. Again, so cute.

On Sunday evening, she rolled over from back to front! and now she does it all the time. changing diapers is gonna be even more of a challenge now!

It's just gonna get crazier from here. She'll be sitting up on her own soon, crawling, standing before we know it! ahhhh! i can't even think about this right now! time is going too fast!!!!!
