Six Months

Allie is 6 months old today! I can hardly believe it. Especially since she's still only 10 lbs. 3 oz. Someone I know just had a baby that was 10 lbs 4 oz. She is finally starting to grow out of a lot of her newborn clothes.
She is a very smiley baby. All you have to do is smile at her, and you get this adorable grin in return.She is getting happier, too. She was kind of cranky newborn. She has always been unpredictable; she doesn't sleep at consistent times, which annoys me. It used to drive me insane, now it's just irritating. She sometimes sleeps 12 hours straight at night, other times she wakes up a couple times. You just never know. Surprises around every corner!She can grab things and play with toys now, though she needs a blanket behind her in the exersaucer because it's way too big for her. She tolerates tummy time pretty well. She is not sitting or rolling over, and I don't see that happening any time soon.She likes the bumbo for about 5 minutes, then she tries to squirm out and gets herself into interesting positions. Her favorite thing of all is to stand. Her legs are really strong. We are working at getting her to relax and bend, because she likes to stay straight and stiff all the time. Joey was the same way, and he never crawled. And we don't want her to skip crawling like he did.

She's by far the most popular one in the house. We just adore her. And who can blame us?
