Alie Pics





Look what my friend Cary made for me! At first I didn't recognize who it was in the pic, and then by second glance, I was cracking up! My baby looked so grown up, lol!

We went to the doctors today. Alison did very well and she has grown a lot since she went last. My favorite nurse was there today, she was so surprised to see Alie's progress. Alison only got 2 shots this time. She didn't cry at all for the first shot and the second one, she cried for maybe 2 seconds. She even smiled at the nurse afterward. I think it definitely made the nurse feel better. I was so proud of her that she did so well. I think I must have the greatest baby in the world!

Alie officially throws fits now. She will scream and kick her legs and it just cracks me up. I know it isn't supposed to, but she looks so funny. She is also more vocal now. She will scream on the top of her lungs, but not in a mad way. She just likes the sound of her voice. Tomorrow we go see the doctor and that means more shots! Ouch! I will let you know her new measurements.

Guess what... She has new tricks now! When she plays in her "baby cadillac", she now bounces up and down and plays with all the toys. She chews on some of the different toys on it, which is a new thing. She will also sing, it is more like screeching and squeals, but it is so cute! Also, now when I go get her out of bed in the morning, she is already on her tummy, she flips around like crazy. She can reach the mobile in her bed, so I think it is time to lower the matress down a notch. She is growing so fast, I can't believe it! She is still wearing some of her 3-6 months clothes, but also fits alot of her 6-12 very well. She is just in the middle of sizes. She is wearing the next size in diapers now too! I just bought her first box of size 3 yesterday. My baby won't be a baby in a blink of an eye. I wish the first year of children actually lasted 5 years. That way you could enjoy the babyhood, not rush through it!

Alison now rolles around on the floor like crazy. She won't sit still. I have some more pictures of her posted Here.

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!

Alison ate her first vegtable today. I am starting her out on carrots. The first bite, she made faces, but decided she liked them. She ate half the jar, which is a ton for her. I can't believe how well she takes to different foods. I took some more pictures of her, but my time is so lacking, it may be a while before I get them up.
