Going to Parties, Singing, & Rolling onto Her Tummy

Jada was invited to her first birthday party! Her friend, Brooklyn Shearer, turned one and her party was this past Saturday. Here's a picture of Jada with her friends, Ella, Brooklyn & Sophee and their mommies (Robin, Tiana, & Ashley). Also pictured are Amy (far left), Christina (pregnant with Baby Tymon), & April (far right & pregnant with "Baby Peanut"). :-)

Jada is totally dominating her bouncy chair these days. I remember when she used to just lay back and stare at the hanging toys. Now she attacks them. Ha ha.

Jada loves her Daddy time before bedtime. Here's Daddy and Jada playing before she goes to bed.

Jada has not only enjoyed her rice cearal and sweet potatoes, but has now added brocolli and applesauce to her plate! How exciting! She especially loves applesauce. She had two ice-cube size servings yesterday instead of her usual one. Here's a picture of her first few bites of brocolli.

Jada has been rolling from her tummy to back for a few weeks now, but has recently started rolling from her back to her tummy! It was tough for her to figure out what to do with that other arm after the roll (that gets stuck under her tummy), but she figured it out on Tuesday! Here's a picture of her at Daddy's Ultimate Frisbee game on Tuesday night when she rolled from her back to her tummy all by herself for the first time. She realized that if she grabs on to the turf while she pulls out her other arm, she can successfully make it all the way on her tummy. What a smart girl!

After which, she had a conversation with that pretty little flower she's holding!

Speaking of talking, I'm pretty sure I caught her singing along to the radio the other day. I was driving, and had the volume up as I was singing along to whatever song happened to be playing. I heard something from the back seat. I then turned down the music and heard this cute little voice behind me singing, "Na na na na na". It was SO cute. I guess she really does listen to what Mommy does and follows along!
