Hard to believe, but it's true--Allie's five months old already! She continues to grow and change every day. Right now, she is teething and is clearly quite uncomfortable. She has been very fussy, especially at eating and sleeping times. As a result, her schedule has gotten quite jumbled. We can see two little white nubs of teeth on her bottom gums. It won't be long before they pop through! In the meantime, she enjoys sucking on her "popsicle"--a special holder with a frozen orange slice in it.
She continues to eat her rice cereal in the evenings and her oatmeal (although reluctantly) in the mornings. Next week, we will begin to mix in fruit. She continues to show great interest in Daddy and Mama's foods and can't understand why she has to eat something different! She has "eaten" a couple slices of orange--really, she's just sucked the juice out. She really enjoyed that! Now she is showing interest in Mama's cup whenever she's drinking something. We will probably try out the sippy cup pretty soon.
In addition to being on the verge of flashing her pearly whites, Allie is also very close to crawling and sitting up on her own. She is very good at sitting up semi-supported. She has been able to scoot around for a while now, but she is finally starting to get her knees up occasionally. She does better at "crawling" backward right now--it will come soon!
Tonight, Allie enjoyed "attacking" Daddy while Mama mixed up her cereal.

Hey, What a little doll!! Allie is so precious. Enjoy seeing the photos of her that you post--you are doing a great job. Wish I lived closer so I could come see her. Love, JoAnn
