Well, Alia can pretty much sit up now. She doesn't get there by herself, but she can hold herself up now. It's then fun to watch her fall back over when she gets tired or distracted (as long as she isn't falling into anything). She also thinks its fun to fall over backward, especially when I have the big pillow behind her.
She also is becoming quite mobile without crawling. She rolls and rotates and scoots backward, and pulls herself forward on blankets. As soon as she starts crawling, you know there will be a video.

Alia has had a busy last week. Last Tuesday, she was sick with a fever, and ended up staying home with Dad Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday, we started on our trip to Alabama. We saw Grandma and Grandpa (including greats), Uncles and Aunts (including greats), and cousins. We finished our Stage 1 foods. I don't think we'll be having peaches again though. Alia got to visit Harding this morning. She also started Stage 2 foods tonight. She is trying to sleep right now. We wore her out. Good thing she is off of daycare this week.

This is a preview for any family that is going to see Alia soon and an incredibly cute update for any friends and family that will not see Alia soon.

Alia is very fun nowadays. She makes the strangest noises on her own. She has started roaring, and she loves to laugh. She is 6 months and a week old. We've tried all of our vegetables, at least the ones that Gerber makes. She's had sweet potatoes, carrots, squash, green beans, and peas. None of which I eat by the way! Today we are starting fruit with bananas. Yummm....My mom visited last weekend and Alia had a lot of fun with her. She gained a few new toys by the time that Grandma had left too! I brought out some of Alia's spring clothes and am very excited. I was pretty tired of her winter onesies.
We had a Parents as Teachers meeting last night. Alia was a little wary at first, but then showed off very well. She got to play with practice golf balls in a metal bowl. The funny thing was...she liked the noise at first, but then kept emptying the bowl of all the balls and then trying to eat them. She also got to play with a "Pat Mat"(ziplock bag with water and foam cut-outs in it). She really enjoyed that. Alia seems to be developing just fine and maybe even doing some things a little early. B was glad to hear that we were in fact doing a good job. :)
PS...she is almost sitting up...that is the next big milestone I am waiting for.
