So far this month, we have had a blast with Anomantia no longer in her harness. She loves hanging out at our level in the ergo carrier (thanks Christina, Mounir and Khalil). All in all she is a fairly happy baby, with the exception of teething and nap times. She is now eating solids by her own choice. It all started with her swiping a piece of cauliflower off my dinner plate and since then it has grown to include banana, honeydew melon, and this morning's newest was avocado (which I think she wore more than ate, but enjoyed it). I also picked up some yam and sweet potato for her to try later this week. We have decided to not use any purées or premade so called baby foods due to the extra ingredients that I can't even pronounce and her dislike for the texture of it (she would far rather chunks of stuff). We tried to give her rice cereal but she broke out in hives and a rash all over. We aren't necessarily using a particular method but I would say that we are leaning towards the "Baby-led weaning" method of approaching solids. She will be 6 months old in 9 days and finally learned to roll over the other day. She was playing on the floor while I was cleaning the living room and I looked over and she was on her back (front to back roll) and the following day she decided to spend some time on her tummy and rolled back to front. She loves kicking and sucking on pickles (great teething toys) while hanging out in the living/dining room in our home.
This month we wish all of our sisters (Melanie, Danica and Diana) very happy birthdays. And on the 20th we will be celebrating Laurence's first father's day. Thanks for the visit Auntie Debby and we are glad we had the chance to sneak in a visit on your short trip out our way. June brings us plenty to keep us busy and hopefully some nicer weather.
