New Experiences

LE and I left home and headed for the beach at the end of June.  My plan is for us to stay at our family beach house for as long as possible.  So far, things are going well.  Because we are in a different environment, coupled with the fact that LE is growing and changing rapidly, there are some new things that she is experiencing while we are at the beach.

We had only been here a few days when LE rolled over from her back to her tummy.  I had put her on her back on her play mat and walked into the kitchen to make some lunch and when I turned around, she was on her tummy!  I was excited and surprised, but immediately grabbed my camera, put her back on her back and she did it again!

Going...

Going...

Almost there...

She got it!  (And she's NOT happy!)

We always seem to spend the majority of our time outside by the pool.  Since LE is too young for me to put sunscreen on right now, I've kept her on the shaded portion of our pool decking either in her bouncy seat or the Pa.ck 'N Pl.ay.  As a result, she is kept cool by the breeze and often falls asleep.

It's nice to sleep outside in the breeze.

Because we are outside so much, I also realized that LE might need a hat to keep her face shaded.  She hasn't seemed to object to it much.

So stylish

LE has been eating 8 ounces of formula consistently for awhile now.  For the last few days she has been getting EXTREMELY agitated about three hours after eating and is hungry again.  As a result, I decided to go ahead and start her on rice cereal.  Her first attempt was today, July 4, and she did not seem to like or dislike it at this point.  We'll keep trying!

After the first few spoonfuls

I think I might like my hand better!
