The times, they are a changing . . .

Well, Kinsey has become a little rolly polly! She now rolls both ways! Yay! We're now working on sitting up. She can do it for a few seconds before we tumble over to the side.

Also, now that she can roll over, her tummy has become her favorite way to sleep. I put her to bed on her back, check the monitor a few minutes later and see the back of her head. She seems to sleep better that way, so who am I to fight it. I was waiting a few minutes, then flipping her, but she would just roll over again, so I stopped.

Today, we met Carrie, Val, and Emily at the pool with their kiddos and Kinsey played for about an hour, then I fed her and put her down. She was so tired, she went right to sleep and has been sleeping hard for almost 2 hours. I went to check in on her and found her new sleeping position. I love it!!





Also, when I was slathering her sunscreen on her before the pool time, I put it on her head and all of her hair was sticking up! It was so cute! She's finally getting some hair!

As far as foods, She now has had nectarine in her little mesh feeder and green beans baby food. So far, she hasn't met a food she didn't like! :)

And for the finale . . . dun dun duuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnn, I'm realizing that work is just around the corner. I have trainings 4 days next week and 2 the week after, then only 2 full weeks with my sweet baby before I have to go back to work full time. I am dreading it, but I feel that it's what is best for my family. Maybe I can stay home the next time, but I got more time with her than most working mommies and for that, I am thankful. She will be 7 months old when I go back. Much better than 8 weeks. Now, as for the best place for childcare, I'm still working on that and will keep you posted.

Squash, and pears, and catfish? OH MY!

Yes, you read that correctly! I started Kinsey on cereal a few weeks ago, then last week we tried the squash. She liked both! We have gotten in the bad habit of when she leans forward to see what we're eating, we let her have a little taste, which is usually just a lick. Well, not this time, my friend. We were at a friend's fish fry Saturday night and Kinsey was watching Jeff very closely as he was eating his plate of yummy food, when he decided to put it towards her mouth to let her lick it, she took a BITE! Yes, a BITE! Geez! I fished that piece of catfish out of her mouth so fast with a brief "JEFF!!" That girl is fearless when it comes to food! I know what you're thinking, and you're right . . . She gets it from her Momma!! :) Anyway, I gave her pears last night and another hit! Should I be surprised? No, we're not picky eaters in this family!
