6- months

Wow 6 months have already gone by- my 7 lbs 9 oz baby is 17 lbs now and growing, growing, growing. The only sad thing about all this growth is having to put away all the clothes that no longer fits- this always makes me a little sad. But then again having a new wardrobe every few months is kinda fun.

Here's what Ally has been upto this last month.
She has been nothing but smiles. It's fun to see a little bit of Andy in her personality- social and sweet. She loves to smile at everyone!

We've had lots of dress-up sessions- My mom calls Ally my "muneca" (doll), she says that's all I do- play dolls with her (and she is my doll). and I must admit I love dressing her up! It takes me back to when Patty and I played dolls together as little girls and dreamed of being mommies some day.

Ally has been practicing sitting up unassisted and just perfected this!

She loves to eat her toes- I always love it when babies do this it's so cute!

We had our first solid foods- rice cereal, bananas and apple juice. She's not too crazy about the rice cereal and seems to like it much more when I add a little banana or apple juice in the mix.... I think she'll be a good eater like my other 2.

She can hold her bottle and loves to drink juice from it!

Ally loves her tongue! She plays with it and makes noises by smacking her lips. I often find her sticking her tongue out- it's pretty funny and also pretty adorable. I don't remember my boys doing that so that's a first for me.

Ally is a great sleeper- she takes about 3 naps a day and pretty much sleeps through the night. She is now on the same schedule as her brothers and often goes to bed before they do! I don't really know how this happened, but it's great to have all 3 kids sleeping by 8:30.

I can't believe we are half way from her 1st B-day- that just seems crazy to me, before I know it she'll be talking and walking all over the place... Here's a few pics.
