Ava started solids!

So at her 4 month doctor's visit he threw out the idea of starting solids. So we tried some rice cereal and she just kept pushing it out with her tongue. We tried weekly to see if she would get the hang of it but nothing. Well Monday I bought a jar of bananas and she gobbled it right up! The whole jar! It was like a light came on! Oh, so this is how you eat! I gave her a jar in the morning after she takes her bottle and again right before bed. We have been having major issues with her sleeping at night. She still nurses once during the night but she was still waking up every hour crying. I would go in and give her her pacifier but she would just wake up again an hour later. Well, last night was the true test. I gave her a jar in the morning and a jar in the evening and put her down around 8pm. She didn't wake up till almost 3am! What do you know? Food works! The poor thing needed more than just milk! I remember Jackson started solids at 4 months so I don't know why I didn't think that she would be the same way. Here are some pics of Ava looking cute as can be and making some silly faces!

Trick or Treat!

So last Friday was Halloween. We had fun dressing up as the Flinstones (or Rubbles). Jackson was clueless about the whole holiday. My aunt and uncle were in town for the weekend and they went trick or treating with us. They had bought him a radio flyer tricycle so he wanted to ride that while trick or treating. It was so funny. We just drove him up to the door and tried to get him to say, "Trick or Treat". He just stared and said nothing! Every house we went to was the same expression. I guess he really didn't understand why were dressed up in silly costumes and going door to door asking for candy. Oh well, it was fun to watch! Here are some pics!
