I'm really trying to work on this sitting up thing. If you prop me up, I do pretty good. :)

Alia is tons of fun right now. She entertains herself for a little while, but also loves it when B or I entertain her. She continually is working on her spitting noises. It's really cute! We are going to start vegetables this coming week. She had a good time in Illinois. She played with aunts and uncles and cousins and a future husband even!

I finally got it!

After seeing this, I thought it best to maybe not use the swing anymore. So, we bought Alia an exersaucer/jumper. She likes it so far. She can't quite reach the platform with both feet so there hasn't been any jumping or turning yet, but she seems to enjoy it.

Alia also has started cereal this week. I don't know how she has done at daycare, but last night was the first time I fed her at home. She didn't do too bad. Obviously, she didn't eat the whole bowl, but she kept opening her mouth for the spoon until she was done.

Alia had an appointment yesterday. She weighs 16 pounds, is 26 inches longs, and her head circumference was 43.5. The doctor said she is growing just fine (75th percentiles across the board). He also said she was pretty much perfect. She was happy and smiley and laughy and kicky at the doctor's office. She showed off just like I told her too. The shots weren't even that bad. She only cried a little.
