We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!  Cecilia had a very busy Christmas week!  She met Santa, got lots of presents and got to meet her NJ family for the first time!

Cecilia loved opening her gifts.  She tore at the paper and quickly put it in her mouth!

More clothes!  Ceci is the best dressed baby on the block!

Cecilia's First Food & Four Month Checkup

Cecilia had her four month checkup on Saturday morning. She weighed in at a whopping 15 lbs 13 oz (87th percentile) and measured 26 inches (93 percentile).  

I was thinking over the weekend just how much Cecilia has changed since her last checkup two months ago.   She sleeps through the night and no longer needs to be swaddled.  She smiles all of the time now and we get "real" giggles out of her.  She is drooling and putting everything in her mouth now. She is such a happy baby and her personality is really shining through.

Over the weekend, Cecilia started rolling over and over and over...she won't stop!  She isn't a big fan of rolling from her stomach to her back but is really getting the hang of rolling from her back to stomach.  The days of leaving her on her activity mat unattended are coming to an end.

Tonight Cecilia ate her first real food and loved it!  Dan took plenty of pictures - these are some of our favorites!

Getting ready for the big taste test

Cecilia's first bite!

Hmmm...not sure what to think

Hey this stuff is pretty good!

Big bites!

Just goofin' around after dinner
