As our little angel is rapidly approaching the five month mark (can you believe it?) it was a weekend of many firsts. Seeing as how Mary Pat has begun to chew on everything she can find (chew with her gums that is) we let her test out a cold teething ring to try out something that was meant to be chewed. So far the reviews are mixed as it apparently doesn't taste as good as her shirt. One item that did go over well was the toy/Bumbo tray combo, which keeps Mary Pat occupied while she is sitting at the dinner table like a big girl. Speaking of dinner, Mary Pat also had her first solid meal this weekend in the form of rice cereal. You can see from
these pictures that the initial reaction was mixed at best, but she's starting to like it more with every meal.
Finally, this weekend we retired the swaddle and Mary Pat slept in a wearable blanket, which allows her arms to swing free. We don't have any pictures yet but if you would like an idea of how the first night went set your alarm clock for 2:45am and keep hitting the snooze bar until whatever time you normally wake up. Luckily, she's getting used to it and we're having better luck in the following nights!

Kinda scared me at first..I thought it was boob juice until I read the caption! Little "Lamb of God" (no longer Chunkette since being Christened, sure is a big girl in her bumbo seat, eating her curds and whey. She is a true McIntyre, loves to eat!!
It's kinda fitting that she would be in that bib...cause her Aunt is pretty cool!
She's getting so big!
Hey Shannon - Wanted to let you know I have loved keeping up with your family via the blog. Mary Pat is really adorable! -- Lindsey
