A lot of firsts

In a span of a week, Abrielle has had a lot of firsts:

She went into the baby pool the other day for the first time without screaming! She actually played in the water for a good 20-30 minutes with her sisters. Of course, Maddie and Faith thought it was the coolest thing ever to see Abrie in her little baby boat!

She had her first taste of rice cereal last week, and just loved it. She's been eating it pretty much once a day every day, except for the days when I totally forget to give it to her. I swear I have become so darn forgetful since having had baby girl. But, again, Maddie and Faith think it is the coolest thing to see Abrie doing what they think are "big kid" things these days, and LOVE to help feed her. It's the neatest thing to have them involved with it all. I'll probably keep her on just the rice for a good while, and then slowly start the oatmeal and all the fruits and vegetables which will make big sisters' day!

Abrie also has been swinging in the bucket swings at the park. She looks absolutely precious in them! It's as though she shouldn't be old enough to do these 'big kid' things. And, she absolutely loves it too. She smiles and talks while she's swinging back and forth, and of course Maddie and Faith want her in the middle of them so that she is next to BOTH of them (that is the argument half the time-- "I want Abrie next to ME!"). 

The Show also has now mastered rolling from her back to her stomach; the little devil! Stomach to back has been going on officially since 5 weeks, even though she's been turning from her side to her stomach since she was a mere 2 days old. It's crazy. But, now the little woman can roll every which way, and she scoots along the floor on her back. She looks like a little vacuum cleaner!
