Today marks Palmer Tate's 5th month in the world. We have affectionately started referring to her as our little bowling ball. You'll understand once you scroll down and see her pictures! This is the only time in one's life that it's cute and socially acceptable to be fat. Hehe - go for it girl. ;) Palmer is an easy baby, what can I say? She is a constant source of joy in our household. Always smiling and giggling. It is a rare occasion when she is fussy. During this past month, she rolled from her belly to her back for the first time and has been perfecting her new skill ever since. She started eating solid food for the first time this week - sweet potatoes. We could have started solid food WEEKS earlier, as she has been showing great interest in real food for awhile now...but I've been dragging my feet because we have been so busy during the holidays. To say that she has been excited about eating real food would be an understatement...giddy is probably more fitting. She gobbles it up. It's so wierd to us, since Linkan didn't take to baby food until she was 6-7 months...and even when she did finally, it wasn't anything special for her. So, this is an exciting new experience for us...a baby that loves food! Palmer is still sleeping through the night and starting to go for longer stretches now...usually 7 pm to 6 am. This mama ain't complaining. I should also note that today marks her daddy's 4th chemo treatment. Oh, the stories we will have to tell her about her first year of life. :) God is good and He has richly blessed us with this sweet little life.
