Bottles and the Older Baby

As I type this, Miss Boo is laying on the ground near the computer trying to pull down the curtains! I can hardly believe that my baby girl is already big enough to 1) grab the curtains 2) move from where I laid her to the curtains 3) crack herself up about the whole situation. Who knew curtains were funny??

As anyone with children knows, babies grow up waaaaaaaay to fast! At 4 1/2 months old, she smiles when she sees me, leaps out of my arms for her daddy and is "playing" with Bubby on the floor. She's practically in college! Boo is already rolling all over the place and eating cereal--and it won't be long before she's moving on to fruits & veggies (more on that later).

It's important to remember as our babies pass these milestones that they are still babies and formula (or breastmilk) needs to be their main source of nutrition for the first year. Try to think of those solid foods as a snack or a side dish to the "real" food--the ba-ba.

This oatmeal is a yummy snack, but my ba-ba is still where it's at!
