Rolling Over!!!

Olivia rolled over for the first time a couple of days ago!!! She's been getting close recently, but couldn't quite figure out how to get over her arm that is on the floor. But the other day I had her on the activity mat and I noticed she was getting close, so I made sure to watch her. Sure enough, she was able to push past her arm and fully roll over! She laid on her arm for a few minutes but eventually was able to maneuver it out. She's done it several times since then. It just feels like all of a sudden she's learning so many new skills! She's eating solids now sitting in her high chair, rolling over, gotten 2 teeth, grabbing things and sitting in her stroller without a car seat! She needs to stop so I can catch up now!!!

Starting Solid Foods!

This week we started to introduce "solid" foods to Olivia. So far it's just the rice cereal so that she can learn how to eat off the spoon and figure out how to move the food to the back of her throat to swallow it. The first 2 days, most of the food just stayed at the front of her mouth and she really didn't get it. She also didn't understand completely about opening her mouth for food, but instead just wanted to suck it off the spoon.

Trying Solids for the First Time

But by day 3, she had it! We are on day 5 now, and she totally gets opening her mouth, taking the food off the spoon and swallowing it! I'm so impressed how quickly she got it!!!

I'm interested in getting this baby food processor that steams, defrosts and purees food for her. So once we get that, we'll start moving onto some veggies, fruits and other items. I can't wait to see what she likes.
