She's finally rolled over from her stomach to her back although Eric and I have yet to witness it. She always does it when she's in her crib and we'll find her on her back in the morning after she fell asleep on her stomach.
Her favorite song is Wheels on the Bus. No matter what, it always makes her smile. It comes in handy when she's getting fussy in the car. A few verses and she's quieted down. Thankfully, you can create a lot of verses for the song. My bus tends to look more like Noah's Ark with how many different animals I put on the bus but the beauty of it is that she doesn't know that dogs, pigs, cows and horses can't all fit on the same bus.
She's much more interested in the things around here. She loves watching our dog walk around the room. She'll also watch Eric and I as we move around the house and tries to peer around the corner if one of us has disappeared. She reaches out for toys, grabs ahold and tries to stuff them in her mouth. Texture is somehting she's starting to notice. She rubs her fingers on the different parts of the toys and repeatedly squeezes things that make noise. A couple of times she's even looked down to find the toy she's dropped.
She's easily distracted while eating. She likes to look around the room to see what else is going on. She also lifts her feet up and starts playing with her toes while eating sometimes too. She has officially started with some 'real' food. A few weeks ago, we started her on some rice cereal to give her some practice eating with a spoon. The first time was quite a sight as you can see below. She took to it very quickly and will now open wide and lean toward the spoon as soon as she sees it. She does like to help you out by grabbing the spoon and then holding it in her mouth while she gnaws on it and all the food falls out onto her bib.
Ashley also got her first cold this month. She was a trooper and hardly complained. But we felt so bad when we would listen to her as she breathed. Unfortunately her first cold also coincided with mommy's first work trip. I went to Orlando for 5 days for a conference and had to leave Eric and my little girl behind. They handled it fabulously, just as I had expected. And daddy was nice enough to send me lots of pictures while I was gone.
