4 months old and some big milestones...

So, E hit 4 months old last Sunday and we have had some big milestones between now and my last post, which was a month ago... [:$]

Anyway, to sum up real quick so that you can get to the pictures:

1. E is rolling from her back to her front almost all the time.  She started on Saturday, the 5th of November and now rolls almost every time I put her down.  She surprised Adam when he was changing her diaper.  He turned around to throw her diaper in the pale and came back and she had rolled to her tummy on the changing mat. [:O ]
2. E and I had our first long term separation and our longest flight yet.  [:'( ]  We flew from LA to Detroit, which was 4.5 hours.  It was fun and interesting at the same time.  I can definitely see why so many people prefer to buy a seat for their little ones rather than carrying them on their laps the whole time, especially for longer trips.  E was perfect, she slept almost the whole way, but it was just awkward.  I stayed for a day or two in Detroit and then after our Halloween celebrations I left for Helsinki Finland.  It was great but I missed my E and was glad to be home after being gone just a couple of days.  Then on the 6th we flew back to LA and are glad to be home.
3. E ate "real" food for the first time last night.  Her Pediatrician said it was OK to start on rice cereal if she was acting like she wanted to eat food after she turned 4 months.  Well, she hasn't been able to stop watching us eat for about the last month so I figured it was time.  She was so cute.  I would put the food in her mouth, she would wait and watch Adam (I fed her during our dinner time... Family dinner time), and she would chew when he chewed... OH SO CUTE... GUSH, GUSH!!

Anyway, here are some pictures:
