MJ- A Rice Cereal Eating and Jumping Fool!

Yesterday we started MJ on solid foods. After she woke up from her morning nap, I prepared some super tasty, liquid-y rice cereal. MJ sat in her high chair and look very official in her bib. I was expecting it to take us a few times to get MJ to like the cereal, or for her to at least make some funny faces at the new taste/texture. But, she was a pro!
She sat up nicely, opened her mouth for the incoming spoon, pushed the food to the back of her mouth and swallowed. It was like she'd been eating solids for weeks. Needless to say, we didn't really get any exciting pictures. I guess she's saving the funny faces for when she tries fruits & vegetables...
In other exciting news for this weekend- MJ figured out how to work the jumperoo. We ordered a jumperoo for her a few weeks ago, but MJ didn't really have much of an interest in it, mostly because she couldn't touch the ground. But, on Friday night we put her in it and she just started going to town. Since then, she's really figured it out and just jumps and jumps and jumps. She's always sad when I try to take her out.
Here's a great little clip I tooks this morning of her having fun. I'm special and took the video sideways and I can't figure out how to rotate it. You'll just have to twist your neck.

A few other fun things that have been happening:
MJ loves our dog Loki. She loves to pet her and squeals in delight when the dog comes near or if Loki licks her.
MJ now weighs about 14 pounds (double her birth weight) and is 26" long. She's so long that we've had to put her in 6-9 months clothes already, but they all look huge around the middle. Pants especially don't like to stay on.
MJ will be 5 months old on Tuesday!
