Alice can sit up by herself (well, almost)

If Alice is sitting in your lap, she can sit up. She can also sit on the floor with some assistance, but it’s progress! She has also taken to doing walking motions while playing in her exersaucer, it’s quite adorable to watch. And she’s waving her toys around lots, which means they end up all over the place- more mess for mommy! She still has her cold, but it’s getting better. I think we have forgotten to mention that she sleeps through the night, and has been since about 4 1/2 months old. I guess we’re so grateful for being able to get a good night’s sleep that we overlooked putting it in the blog. She still wakes at various times once in awhile, but she’ll cry herself back to sleep. She’s usually in bed by 7:30pm and sleeps for about 12 hours, waking happy. She’s eating about 2 tbsp. of cereal in the morning with fruit, and about 3 tbsp. of cereal at supper with vegetables. She appears to like everything we try on her and soon we will start feeding her coarser textured foods and at 7 months she’ll have protein. Wow!
