Changes, changes, changes....Allie is growing so fast!

Over the past month. Allie has truly become a little girl. She's no longer a "baby". It all hit me today when we put the "big girl carseat" in our car....Allie no longer needs the infant car seat. She's all grown up :(

Here are just a few of the changes that Allie has made over the last few weeks: she got her first and second tooth, she's sitting up by herself, she goes to sleep by herself without being rocked or held, she no longer has to be swaddled to sleep, she babbles "ma, ma, ma", "da, da, da", and "ba, ba, ba" all day long, she's eating stage II baby foods in her new high chair, and she's playing with a sippy cup. I'm sure there are many more changes that are slipping my mind, but it is certainly evident that our precious baby girl is not so much of a baby any more.

See Allie's beautiful chompers! She has two shiny new teeth!


Allie learned how to nap like a big girl...after 45 minutes of "crying it out" the first time, Allie quickly adapted to laying down and going to sleep by herself. She loves to have her "taggy" when she goes to sleep, and she often covers her head with it while she snoozes.


Allie learned how to sit up and play over the last few weeks. It's so much fun to watch her play and discover her toys from a whole new perspective.


Allie knew just what to do with her first sippy cup, and she loves her big girl high chair...
