Today Alie ate a whole jar of carrots! I am so proud of her! She really loves them. She was in a good mood for pretty much the whole day. She did a lot of playing while mommy did laundry. She is really starting to get the hang of entertaining herself, which is a good thing. Oh, one thing I noticed today, she has a thing for music. I was watching the tv, she was playing in her baby "cadillac" as grandpa calls it, and she was having a good 'ol time. The show was "The Caroline Rhea Show" well, Alie wasn't interested. One of the guests on the show though, and 11 year old boy, was there to play his violin. As soon as he started playing, Alison whipped around to look at the tv. She didn't take her eyes off the screen till he was done. When he finished, she looked at me with a huge grin as to say "Wow, that was amazing!" I thought her intrest in the music was amazing. I have really tried to make music apart of her life. I want her to hear music and it to be a comfort to her. I want her to maybe one day use music as an outlet, a way to express herself. I put her to sleep every night listening to as much classical music as I could get in her stereo. She listens to the same 5 CDs every night, with almost every good classical song/composure there is. I know that music is mostly to stimulate a baby's brain, but I also would also like her to dream it, to hear it so often, it becomes apart of her. No, I don't expect her to be some great musician or anything. I just want her to have healthy outlets, something she has known from birth. I want her to hear one of those songs and feel the warmth of my love. Sounds strange, I know. I guess I just want what every parent wants, happy, healthy, loving children. I am sure I won't be let down!
