Growing up!!

Alayna is growing up so quickly. She is approaching her 1st birthday and becoming more independent every day. She has been trying new adult foods and is having a great time experimenting. I think she will be taking several baths a day once she is completely on regular food. She likes to eat and wear her food!


She is also crawling around very quickly now and is pulling her self up on EVERYTHING!! She is getting pretty dangerous. I think she needs to wear a crash helmet. I couldn't wait for her to start crawling and now I am thinking that I was nuts!!! She is all over the place and follows me everywhere. It is a big new adventure and actually I am having a blast!!!

On the move!

Alayna is CRAWLING!! YEAH!! She officially started tonight. She has been trying for a couple of days now. She was getting up on her knees and rocking.

I took her to the doctor yesterday because we thought she had an ear infection. She had the classic symptom of tugging on her ear and she just seemed to be laying around more than usual. The doctor said that her ears were perfectly clear and the fact that she was not herself could be because she was about to achieve a milestone, such as crawling or walking. She said she has seen this over the years in children. They seem off for a couple of days before their achievement. It seemed kind of strange to me but she was right!!! Alayna accomplished a milestone tonight only a couple of days after she seemed off.
