She is getting so big! She weighed in at 16 pounds even today! Holy cow! She changes and grows everyday and it completely amazes me. I love to watch her explore her new world and learn. She started eating solid foods last week (On St. Patrick's Day). The first food she tried was bananas. She was not a huge fan of it. About a week earlier she started eating brown rice cereal before bedtime. Now she is eating bananas and squash mixed with cereal and formula about 3 times a day. She loves her squash but is still unsure of the bananas. This afternoon she ate a small bowl of squash and a small bowl of bananas! She did awesome. I do have to confess though that I have to trick her into swallowing her food by alternating the spoon with food and her pacifier. Without the pacifier she just giggles and laughs and spits it all out lol...its pretty funny to watch. I think she is starting to get the hang of it though!
We have her nursery all set up now so she is starting to use her crib for naps and hopefully in the next week or two we will have her in there at night time! Right now she spends the night in her rock n' play in our bedroom. It feels good to be sleeping in a bed again! Brooklyn's Aunt Carrie painted her walls with an awesome blossom tree! I love it, its really cute!

First time ever trying brown rice cereal..
Clearly was not sure what in the world I was putting into her mouth!
Wore herself out fighting the food and fell asleep praying that I don't try that again!
3 months...gnawing on my teethers!
Cold teethers..loves to gag herself with them
Getting so big!
Napping in her crib for the first time! She lasted an hour! Yay!
