Aliya Trying to Crawl

Aliya is trying so hard to do a real crawl. She can scoot, roll, and twist her way around the room. Owen is trying to encourage his sister too.

So Lucky

Reading with Daddy

Owen just LOVES to read books. Every Saturday morning Owen and mommy go to the library where we pick out eight books. Just recently Owen graduated from board books to picture books!! We read the books many, many times a day. So much, that Owen starts to read the books on his own. His recent favorite was One Bear in the Bedroom because the ending had the bear poop on the bed. He would say "That is so disgusting!" Aliya likes to listen to us read the books to Owen and sometimes likes to sit with us.

Why am I so happy?

Because I am still growing!!

6 month check-up results:
Height: 25 1/2" 45%
Weight: 14 lbs 10 oz 25%

Aliya is now eating oatmeal which she loves. In fact, she gets upset when I'm trying to get the next bite! Saturday we'll try sweet potatoes.

She's sitting!

Aliya is now sitting. She sits pretty well for a fair amount of time. When she leans over, she is able to pull herself back up to the upright position. She is also rolling to her stomach very quickly. She is continuing to gain weight and grow. We'll know for sure the stats on Tuesday, but we're pretty sure that she has reached the 15 lb mark. See below for sitting pics.

Kids Spree

Owen and I went to the Kids Spree in Aurora a week ago. It is huge carnival type gathering that is free. They had blow up bouncy houses and slides, painting, a maze, sandbox, life size Hi-ho Cherry-o and Candy Land and much more. Owen had a blast. We went down this huge bouncy slide and laughed so hard. He loved the Candy Land and kept wanting to run in it. He had his first snow cone as well. Owen had a blast riding in the train by himself. He was really sad when we left. Here are some pictures.
