6 Months

Alayna is 6 months old already (as of Saturday)! I can't believe it - where does the time go! She is growing and becoming such a fun little girl. Last week while we were at Grandpa and Grandma Kok's she really became a master at rolling from her back to her belly. She seems to have forgotten though that she knows how to roll from her belly to her back (she learned that a long time ago) and quite often gets mad when she's been on her belly for a while. She has even started rolling to her belly at night in her crib. We aren't comfortable leaving her to sleep like that yet though. She gets her arms and legs caught between the rails and tonight when I checked on her it didn't seem like her head was really turned to the side like it should be.

We've started cereal and I think she if finally starting to take more in than she pushes back out. So far we've only done rice cereal and oatmeal. Tomorrow is her 6 mo dr appt. I am excited to see how big she is. Alayna is now in size 2 diapers, is still nursing (once again bottles are NOT going well...I thought we had changed this a few weeks ago), wears mostly 3-6 mo clothes and was (but is no longer) sleeping through the night. She loves her playmat and sitting in her bumpo seat. She's starting to like spending time in her exersaucer and will play for 15 mins or so before getting mad at the toys :) We tried the jumparoo for the first time tonight, but she was tired so that wasn't a very fair first try. Her favorite toys are her butterfly, star, links and dragon fly and she also love the mobile on her crib.

She is a very smiley girl and we love that she is in our lives!
