Waiting for her meal....
Mmmm....
More please....
Alli is 5 months today!!
What has Alli been up to lately you ask??
Well for starters:
~She is now sitting up without mommy or daddy holding her up!! She's gets a little wobbly sometimes but wow! what a big girl!
~She currently weighs in at 12lbs 9oz~She has said "dad." I KNOW!!! We couldn't believe it either!! We were sitting at the kitchen table eating dinner and out of nowhere she says it! Jeff & I just looked at each other like "are you kidding me?" then I was telling Amber about it at the bank & Alli says it again!! BAH!! I've been working so hard on "momma" too! :-) Needless to say Jeff is all smiles.
~She can roll over from her belly to her back & aaaalllllmost from her back to her belly. That silly ol' arm keeps getting in the way though. Ha!
~She is quite the talker & laugher. What a social butterfly she is! She just goes on & on & on for hours!
~She is getting very good with her hands too. I fell asleep with her in my arms the other night during her 3 o'clock feeding and woke up a few hours later with her sticking her fingers up my nose!! ICK!! She was grinning from ear to ear! haha.
~And most recently, well actually as of dinner tonight, we are going to start her on rice cereal. I'm sure I'll post more about that later. :-)
Alli what a big girl you are becoming! We are so proud of you & how beautiful you are inside & out. You are so much fun!!
We love you so much!
Me & Alli just chillin'
Well day one of our trip to Colorado so far has been great! We are about 2 hours out from where we are staying & Alli has done such a good job. I was so worried about taking a 4 month old on a 17 hour trip but she has slept most of the way & when she is not sleeping she is either eating or watching her DVD player. I know, I know she’s 4 months old, why in the world would she already have a DVD player? Believe me it was a smart purchase. I do feel guilty because I told myself before we had Alli that I wasn’t going to get her one because I didn’t want her to miss out on all the beauty of traveling & seeing the scenery but sometimes you have to break those promises you make yourself if it keeps a baby girl from screaming all the way to Colorado. Ha Ha. As I mentioned several times before Alli is a TV lover, but I only let her watch it in moderation so hopefully that doesn’t make me a terrible mother. J She’s watching a baby razorback movie right now & kicking & giggling. So cute! I think it’s supposed to be educational at least. :-) Colorado here we come!!!!
