6 month stats

Alaina had her 6 month Doctor’s appointment today. Another clean bill of health for our little one. We can introduce finger foods like baby puffs and Cheerios to her in the next month or two. As well as a sippy cup around 8 months. I think she will really like being able to use her hands to feed herself. She’s already very interested in watching us eat and drink.

Her stats are as follows…

Weight: 15.2 lbs. – 40th percentile
Height: 27″ – 95th percentile

We may have a super-model on our hands with those stats…tall and slender. Although those cheeks might throw those plans off a little.

Funny…but not really

Getting excited for Christmas

Tiny hand prints

This is what happens when you sleep for an hour, face down, with the backs of your hands over your eyes.
Ta-da!

First Snow

We got Alaina out in the first snow of the season today. She seemed to love the cold snow on her face. We brought her back in the house and she couldn’t stop telling us all about it.



Molly and Alaina

Alaina is looking forward to many more play dates with her new friend Molly Maney.
Although this visit yielded more sleeping and eating, playing will come soon enough.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Alaina had fun this Thanksgiving visiting with all of her family. We’ve had a lot to be thankful for these past five months!

Crib Acrobatics

Each night we put Alaina to bed with her head facing the top of her crib. This morning we woke up to her completely turned around at the other end of her crib. She looked about as surprised as we did!

Also, for those keeping score at home, this past Sunday was Alaina’s 5 month birthday!

Happy Birthday Gramps!

Happy Birthday Gramps!

We celebrated a birthday on Saturday.  I’ll let the photo give away the year.

We had a very enjoyable evening filled with good food (Germano’s in Montgomery), good wine and even better company.
