five months old and growing fast

my baby is growing up really fast. it makes me a little sad sometimes, but for the most part it's really fun.



madeleine's latest trick is that she found her feet this week. they are constantly up in the air and she has mastered the art of grabbing them both at once.



another huge milestone is that madeleine had solid foods for the first time yesterday. my doctor told me that she's probably ready for it, so as soon as i was ready for the mess, expense, and inconvenience, i could start her on solids. she has been showing a lot more interest when randy and i eat now and we figured that it was time to try it out.



despite the look on her face (which is actually more likely disdain for the camera than rice cereal), madeleine seemed to really like rice cereal. she got the hang of eating solids pretty quickly and it wasn't even that messy. she really did more swallowing than spitting out after the first couple bites. i'd say the first feeding was a success!



we really were the ones feeding her for the most part. we gave her a spoon to distract her from grabbing the one we were feeding her with, somehow forgetting that our daughter sticks everything in her mouth.
