My Beautiful Baby Girl

Isn't she beautiful! Doesn't that smile just make your day a little bit brighter! We got Ali's 6 month pics back today. I love them. They captured the sweet, happy nature of my little one. So, a little about Ali at 6 months. She weighed in at 15 lbs and is 25 3/4 inches long. She is in 50th percentile for head, weight and length. the The doctor said she is simply perfect! I heartily agreed. He also commented on how she has the biggest blue eyes he has ever seen. Anyway, little Als rolls and rolls and rolls and scoots to get around. She is working on sitting but is still a little tipsy, as shown below hehe. I just love her. She is a really social baby. Its funny to watch her with other people, she will meet their gaze and smile at them and coo and just hold eye contact making them feel like they are the only thing in her world. She is getting to the stage where she gets a little nervous if someone she doesn't know real well picks her up. She will frantically search the room and whimper a bit until she finds me. As soon as I reassure her that I am near she is happy and smiley again. Little nut. We sure love her. She has just added so much happiness to our little home. Did I mention she is loving Emma lately? Emma can get her laughing so hard, its so cute to watch. Als is truly a blessing in our lives.

Quick note about the second pic. I love it and hate it. It was actually one the photographer caught spur of the moment, we weren't posing. Ali was doing her smiley, eye contact thing and drew her right in. I love it because of Ali's sweet, sweet expression, I hate it because I look like I'm mauling her. I couldn't resist the face though :)

Also thought I would post some cute pics of the girls at storytime and the park today (they aren't the best quality because I took them with my camera, its all I had). I take them to storytime once a week. If I'm ambitious I'll take them twice. I really like it. They always pick a theme, today was books from around the world. They read books and sing songs and today they even got to color a big ol map. Emma gets so excited, she always runs and sits front and center. Right across the library is a really nice park we go to afterwards to play and feed the ducks. Ali had her first taste of being pushed in the swings and LOVED it. Every time I would push her she would start laughing so hard, it was adorable. I love my girls, I'll admit there are moments when I want to lock myself in the bathroom for a few precious seconds of alone time (never works, Emma starts banging on the door and chanting "Let me in") but every mom goes through that right? I love them, I really do.
