7 Months

Happy Thanksgiving

We enjoyed having Thanksgiving dinner at our house. Lucas, Amber, Levi, Milo, Gran/Mom, Grandpa/Dad, Grammie, and Grandma all made the trip out to join us! Everyone helped out with the meal and all seemed to have a good time. Here are some photos from the time together.

Who wouldn't want to cuddle with this giraffe?

We tried the giraffe costume on Alison the Tuesday before Halloween. She wore it on Wednesday at daycare for a parade that they had for the children. Then we dressed her up in it for a while on Halloween as well. She didn't seem too bothered by it except for when we were first dressing her up. At least the costume got pretty good use I think.

No Peas Please!!!

Is there a baby who likes peas? Are there very many adults who like peas? Alison is wondering the same thing. She actually stopped fussing for the picture but she definitely showed me displeasure during the process. Come on, give peas a chance. :)

Sweet Potatoes trial

Alison seemed to like sweet potatoes. And after a few days of trying sweet potatoes, she seems excited to eat them.

"I want to take the spoon and figure this out...."

6 Months already!

At Alison's check up she received 5 total shots! Painful for both parents and baby, but Alison seems to be tolerating everything okay. She weighed in at 13 lbs 10 oz (9%), measured 26 inches in height (60%), and her head circumference is 16 3/4 (53%).

A little delayed in the 6 months photos b/c Alison turned 6 months last week, but that just means that it is time for an update. 6 months brought on new experiences like sitting and starting solid foods. Fun times.
