Rosa had her first real meal today! We went with the traditional rice cereal and she LOVED it. She got some from Mommy, some from her siblings, and the rest from me. Yes, she finished the whole bowl. She got to the point where she recognized the spoon and would lunge for it as she saw it coming. It was awesome. It was so much fun to feed her something that she was so obviously enjoying. Coming at one day shy of five months, it was a great milestone for the whole family.
Rosa also had another first today: she learned how to roll from back to front while swaddled. She did it once during her nap and then again at bedtime. It seems impossible, but she just hurls herself to the side and boom, she's on her tummy. So, swaddling is done as of now. She is having a heck of a time getting herself to sleep tonight, because she has no idea what to do with her arms flailing all over and then suddenly finding herself on her tummy and all that. It's something she's going to have to learn, though, because we obviously want her to be safe while sleeping.
Rosa had a big day today and will have another tomorrow. She'll turn five months old and attend her first wedding. Pretty exciting stuff! For today, let's just cross our fingers and hope we all get some sleep...

Yes, indeed! Growing by leaps and bounds, and hope she figures out how to sleep unswaddled (sp?) without too much difficulty - for her and for all of you ;)
