WOW - Where Has the Time Gone?




We can hardly believe it... Alyson Dawn is already 6 1/2 months old!!! Where has the time gone???
(The pix above were taken this morning in PJ's and playing in her play-pen...)

Many many things have taken place in her life since our last BLOG, that's for sure! The day before Mother's Day she said, "Mama", for the first time! (Perfect timing, huh?) She rolls over (and over and over and over) now. She's eating all sorts of 'yummy' veggies and fruits in addition to her cereal and milk. She laughs all the time (unless she's hungry, dirty or sleepy)! She loves to be read to and played with... she likes interactive books the best. She plays the piano with Memaw and Papaw, if they stop playing she'll pick up their hands putting them back on the keyboard, for more! She 'sings' quietly and 'preaches' as loudly as she can when she's playing around the house. She LOVES music and can already 'keep up' if there's rhythm involved! She loves to "practice" standing and sitting up... makes her feel like a REAL big girl, I guess! She chews on everything she can get in her mouth (even if it isn't a chew toy)! She has her first tooth!!!!! It 'showed up' on the day of her Papaw's Birthday Party... so, the whole clan were able to celebrate with her, on that one and the next tooth is well on-the-way to coming through, as well. She had her 6 month check-up yesterday and did a GREAT job!!! She had to have 3 shots, as well as the 'liquid' shot (for Rota-Virus and did she ever more 'wail') BUT, since leaving the Doctor's office she has been a perfect angel!!! Not fussing one bit!!! We even spent some time shopping after the appointment and not a single tear!!! (FYI: She's just under 18 lbs. and right at 28" long, already!) Greg and I are having as much fun just being with her as she is with all her toys, family and the whole wide world around her!!! Did I mention that she is one VERY nosey little girl??? She almost breaks her neck trying to see everything and I do mean EVERYTHING!!! lol
Well, I suppose I've bored ya'll to death with all of this BLABBING so, I'll let you go for now! (I'll BLOG again soon, though!) Take care, all... and get out to enjoy this beeeeeeautiful sunshine!!! ;-)
