She Hiccups When She Laughs

Our Little Lu in going to be 5 months in two days! She is so much fun. Full of so many expression and it is getting easy to make her laugh. Every time she starts to make a belly laugh though, she always gets the hiccups. In our house we like to call them the "mean-cups" because they make her chest go crazy and they are loud! (Aaron calls them a large vagal response creating a diaphramatic spasm). Lu's new hobby is making spitting raspberries. She is enjoying the jumper and the excersaucer more and more, since she is taller and get almost all the toys in her mouth. She loves eating her solids during the day and is still eating a lot from mom in the middle of the night (we need to start working on this one). She loved avacodos for about a week but now if you give a her a bite she will not close her mouth in fear of tasting them and then tries to fake cough the food out of her mouth. She still like her sweet potatoes, bananas and rice cereal. She also tried oatmeal for the first time today and it seemed to be a hit, but then again so did the avocados day one! Another first that happened today during nap time, is sleeping on her tummy. She rolls a lot in her sleep. She looks like a little "L" with her legs up rolling from side to side to get comfortable. Today that roll took her all the way around. Lastly, of course she still loves the tongue, but has also found a new sucking aide...her toes!!!

Better Late then Never...4 months

Dr. Endo, the doctor that "almost" delivered Luella, suggested that I take a picture with her with the same stuffed animal each month to see how she grows. Here is her 4 month shot! Gotta love the little thigh checks and the awesome socks from Aunt Becky! Below are the first 3 months for comparison.

Yummy, Squavocados...

Luella got to eat squavocados (that is squished avocados) for the first time on 2/13. All I can say if that she absolutely LOVES them. In fact she really loves all solid food (even though she has only has two, ha ha!). She gets so excited to eat. She is turning into such a big girl. She is very mobile in the ways of rolling, shooting, and army crawling. She is VERY close to sitting up...She can do it, just have found the need to yet. She loves her exersaucer and recently just discovered the jumper. She is a very active little girl and also very noisy. She want to know what is going on at all times and if you are new person at our house she will start at you for about 15 minutes to take you all in! Most of all she is still full of smiles and such a happy little one!
