One well traveled baby

Ada has traveled more in her first 5 months of life than I did in my first 15 years.  We drove to Iowa for Christmas and then flew to California a week after we got home.  The drive to Iowa was 16 hours- and she slept most of the way.  The plane ride to California was better than the flight home- but let's just say she likes driving better than flying.  We loved having our family in Iowa meet her and it was especially cute to see our nieces and nephews hold her.  California was a fun trip full of more nieces and nephews holding her and loving her. 
She is rolling over- every once in awhile, and is super smiley and alert.  We love this stage!  She has started eating rice cereal and it is so fun to feed her with a spoon.  We have been lucky to have such a healthy baby who adapts well to knew things.. like sleeping with out being swaddled, eating from a spoon, and taking formula on the plane with super cold water because her mother was desperate for her to calm down.  We love Ada and are looking forward to this year full of crawling, walking, and homemade baby food!
