New Stuff

It seemed like for awhile nothing new was happening with Braylea, then all of a sudden every second seems like she is trying or doing something new. I hate leaving her even more now because of this reason..I don't want to miss a single thing! Here are a few pictures of her new experiences:
She started this week finally rolling over from her stomach and her back now..it won't be long and she should be crawling..she wants to go go go all the time. I might get a workout once this happens! She doesn't enjoy being on her stomach much though, she would much rather be standing up..might just go straight to walking...or running! :)



I gave her a Mum-Mum this week to nibble on..she thought she was pretty cool! She knew what to do instantly..she actually bit the thing right off..cracked me up.

We put her in a high chair at Pizzos the other day as well..she was waiting on the food after getting strapped in!


Braylea has always liked a lot of attention and would hate if I walked out of the room. Recently she been very content playing in her pack and play with her toys and stuffed animals. I think being able to sit up on her own has really helped out a bunch. She feels a lot more independent.
Yes..always something has to be in that mouth..normally the hands..especially when getting sleepy.

The baby food situation kinda went downhill for us. She was eating rice cereal in the morning and sweet potatoes at night for about a week. I may have jumped the gun too much but I added apple sauce a few times this week to her rice cereal. I noticed that her stool was getting a bit harder, but knew that was going to be normal since she was eating food now. It kept getting worse until she started crying as she was straining to get it out. I felt SO bad for her! I called the doctor and they said to give her apple juice diluted with water and make sure she isn't eating applesauce..did not know that! I learned quickly what the BRAT diet was..guess I should have looked into that before starting on foods..So, today I backed off on everything pretty much. Last night I didn't give her any food, I just nursed her more often and today she has only had a little bit of rice cereal, plain. She doesn't like the apple juice very well. She looked at me like 'this isn't milk, Mom!' but eventually she drinks a little here and there. I hope this gets better! We have our 6 MONTH check up(can't believe it) on Tuesday..hopefully I will learn more there.

I'm so glad I got to see you on Sunday! We really need to get together more. Braylea is just a little doll. That's so awesome you're still nursing! Good for you.
