Weekend at the Grandparents'

Before all the pictures from the weekend, here's a few things to update on:

Rolling
Last Thursday (the day after the first roll) Kaylee rolled twice more! It was really exciting for me, even though I never actually saw her do it. I still haven't seen it happen, I just know that I put her on her tummy and the next time I look she's on her back. Over the weekend I set up my camera to video her while on her tummy, but of course she wouldn't roll then!  ;)

Books from afar
Kaylee has gotten two more books from other countries! Carly sent her a book in Chinese, and Sandi asked some friends in Peru to bring Kaylee a book in Spanish! Both books are beautifully and uniquely illustrated and I can't wait to read them to her in the different languages! I need to learn how to pronounce Chinese first. In the meantime, I'll give her English versions or made-up versions.  If you're going away sometime, please keep Kaylee in mind! I'd love to send along some money on your vacation for a book for Kaylee!

Sippy-cups and solids
Grammy read somewhere online to let Kaylee play with a sippy-cup to let her get used to them. Well Kaylee sure knows how they go! Right away she had the right part in her mouth. I haven't tried putting any liquid in it yet though, but when I do I'll start with water. That'll probably be a surprise to her!  Grammy also read that I can start giving her solids any time now. The Dr. Spock book specifically says to start her by the time 6 months comes around because she might not make a good transition after then. However, my doctor and the public health nurses are saying to wait until 6 months. Kaylee is now 5 months and a week or so, so I'm going to start getting ready for solids. I may not wait until 6 months... I'm too excited to see how it goes! I imagine it will be totally messy. I know I'm supposed to start on cereals... does anyone have any suggestions for other things I can try soon after cereals? What did your kids especially like for mushed up foods? I would like to start on veggies before fruits, so any especially tasty veggies for kids? I really need to finish reading my baby puree book. And maybe find a Baby Bullet? They look so cool!

Giggles
I gathered my movie clips from when Kaylee started to laugh and put another video online of it. She laughs more frequently now, especially when she's on the floor and I put my face really close to hers and 'Om-nom-nom' her face and tummy. It helps if I'm laughing too :)

[Update after initial post: Kaylee was having a lap-nap on Grammy and a re-run of Big Bang Theory was on TV. Penny sang Sheldon the Soft Kitty song and Kaylee recognized it! I've been singing it to her at bedtime... LOL :) ]

Aaaaaaand pictures!

'I'm not sure this is right...'

'I must be getting close!'

'This feels right....'

'Is this right, mum-mum?'

'Yeah... I got this.'

Kaylee's shirt from Auntie Trish

              She's moved to the 6M+ pacifiers, and she's got 4 different colours! Yay for outfit co-ordination!

Grammy really liked this outfit! Pretty much anything
that makes Kaylee look like a country girl is good for Grammy!

Whoops... dropped the susie on the floor  :(

Not every moment is a happy one....

Waiting for Kaylee to roll over again.
It didn't happen.

                             Grandpa found Kaylee a bandana so she could be a baby biker chick.

'Help me, I fell over!'

'Am I cute, mum-mum?'

'I can sit up on my own! I only fall over sometimes!'

 Nap time with Bo (short for Bovine), aka SuperCow.
