I have been back at work full time now for the past two months and have been adjusting to the life of a working mom- it is tough and rewarding at the same time.
Vovo' Laura has been here for the past two weeks and what a difference she has made- Allie loves Vovo' Laura :) What a blessing to have her stay with us for the next four months. The two of them spend their days together playing and Grandma Laura makes Allie work on her rolling and sitting up- it is tough work being this cute.
We went to her 6 month pediatrician appointment, and she is in the 50 percentile for her weight, 27 percentile for height and 98 percentile for her head circumference - smart little one I tell you :) The doctor also gave us the green light to start her on solids, and Bryan and I had decided that we were going to be making Allie baby food.
We started her on green beans, and since then she has had sweet potatoes, peas and butternut squash in addition to green beans. Grandma and I have been going to the market to pick fresh organic veggies to make the best possible foods for this little one. She was not a big fan of the green beans but loved sweet potatoes and the squash. We used the bumbo Grandma Tina brought during her last visit, but little girl is growing too fast and we bought her a high chair today :)
She is enjoying her new Ikea high chair, and loves sitting up like a big girl.
She is still waking up once or twice a night, but doctor says it is normal and she will sleep through the night eventually.
She is talking a lot- a lot- these days, and throwing raspberries and making all kinds of cute sounds, it seems like there are brand new noises every day. She is also laughing a lot- she is such a happy baby, always smiling.
She has also been wearing her little KC Chiefs cheerleader outfit every Sunday for the past 5 weeks and- what do you know- the Chiefs are 5-0!! She is a good luck charm and loves watching football with dad :)
Next month is Vovo' Laura's big birthday celebration and Auntie Livia will be visiting for a longer time this time- she will be staying for three weeks! It will also be Halloween, and we are still deciding what to dress Allie up for her first Halloween- but fear not, whatever outfit, she is sure to look cute in it :)
Auntie Livia takes amazing photos and here is one that she took while she was here in June- Grandma Laura brought it with her from Brasil :) We are all looking forward to the new pictures she will take when she arrives in November.
We will try to post more often here at the blog- there are just way too many pictures to share of our beautiful girl and we need to be better about it.
Much love to you all,
Have a great week
