More updates....

Alana started sitting last week! She's sitting pretty well on her own now. It's really nice. She's still no where close to scooting yet. If you put her on her stomach, and set something out of her reach, she kind of just moves her arms and legs like she's trying to swim. I don't think she gets that she actually has to make contact with the floor yet. So I think that she might be a little ahead with the sitting thing, but a little behind on the moving thing which is exactly what I want! I love it when babies can sit on their own, but can't go anywhere! I might actually get a while to enjoy this faze.. Alana is officially 5 months old today! Yeah! I don't know where the last five months have gone though. It feels like she's been here forever, but at the same time, it doesn't feel like it could have possibly been 5 months. Here are some cute pictures of Miss Jo, and one of my birthday at Mom's house the day of.

Sorry, I know It's been forever....

Okay, so there is no way to catch everyone up in one post, so I'll try my best to stay on top of a few this weekend. We'll see how this goes. Thanks for everyone's advice on feedings with Alana. The next day we put some rice in her bottle, and now she won't take one with out it. Or nurse. That's okay, I guess, because my milk is still coming in, and she wasn't able to nurse that often anyway with me at work. I got her to eat well from the bowl tonight, she ate the entire thing, and I took some pictures. She still had tons on her face! My birthday went well, we went out to the outback the night before my birthday, and went to my mom's the day of. It was nice. I had my hubby take a pic of me at the restaurant. Look at the size of that beer! I could hardly finish it! Easter went well too, but I forgot to get a picture of Alana in her Easter dress. Oops. Maybe my mom has one she can share! Everyone (meaning the extended family) was amazed to see how much she had grown! She's grown almost a pound in the last two weeks. All that rice, I think. Well, I really need to go to bed, the screen is getting fuzzy, but like I said, I'll try to post again soon.
