All by herself...

Well I knew it was going to happen sooner or later. Alexandrea has learned how to sit up on her own without anyones help. She is crawling a lot faster now and she is giving us such a work out. She is babbling a lot more and I think she said "dada" but I am not sure because she hasnt said it since. She is about to out grow her current size 3-6 month clothes and move on into 6-9 months. Which we dont really have a lot of. Guess that is going to be a couple Christmas gifts. We went and got her 6 month shots and she was such a big girl. She cried but not that long, like 5 minutes. The first one she got she was stunned and by the last one (3 in total), she had this look on her face like "WHY mom, WHY!!!". Her stats were excellent. 26 inches long and 16lbs. She finally got the top tooth broke through and now the one next to it is about to break skin...thats 2 teeth breaking skin in 2 weeks. And on the opposite side you can see the 2 top white spots. She starts her "sleep training" tomorrow (Monday)...FUN FUN!!! But this past weekend she has slept most of the night with only 2 wakings for feedings. AWESOME!!! The reason we are trying to get her used to sleeping in her room with only like 1 or 2 feedings is because I might be working nights very soon. Plus the doc said she is old enough now where she should already be doing this. OOO, she tried her first meats the other night. TURKEY!! She made a weird face, but she loves it now...we are not going to try another meat for another 2 weeks. I already posted that she knows how to pull herself up on her crib...and now she is trying to pull herself up on everything else around the house. Thats it for now, of course keep your eyes and hears open for more updates.

OMG my little niece is growing up, and I know that you sounded like you were going to cry talking about packing up her clothes but that is what kids do Beck they grow up. Next thing you know she'll be graduating kindergarten, and running you ragged. But you'll love the ride along the way. I promise. xoxox
