solids

Today is the day! Charlotte is going to start solids!
After MUCH deliberation, we are going to start with oatmeal (homemade, of course). I had wanted to start her on green beans, but we decided that green beans are gross, and thus we should not torture the poor girl with green beans as her VERY first meal. So ... oatmeal it is! Amy showed me a really great website with baby food information and recipes: www.wholesomebabyfood.com

I am anxious to start her on solids ... breastfeeding is easy!

army-crawling

This girl is not wasting time! She army-crawls which is so cute! She looks like a little inchworm flinging herself forward on her arms. Thank goodness she is not super fast yet! This place is a bit safer for a baby, but we have definitely got to be a bit more careful what goes on the floor now!!!

we have achieved forward motion!

I picked Charlotte up from Amy's today, and she was definitely creeping forward! She had been moving backwards, but this girl had definitely achieved forward motion! I am hoping that she waits awhile to get fast because we have not baby-proofed!
