Several Firsts

August 18, 2008: Today was a day of firsts for the Jadester. During the afternoon I placed Jade on her jugle gym play mat while I was busy getting some work done around the house. I turned my back for a minute and when I turned around to check on her she was lying on her back off of the jungle mat. She has been trying to roll over for several weeks now. She can roll on to her tummy but can't roll onto her back. The only explaination was she rolled over and off the mat. I didn't actually see it but unless some imaginary person came and picked her up, it's the only explaination.


Another first for Jade was we gave her her first taste of rice cereal. At first, she wasn't too sure about it. She kind of rolled it around her mouth and then spit out. We persisted though and eventually she took it and I think even liked it. It was fun to watch her move it around her mouth and try to figure out how to use her tongue. Cute kid!
