Forty Ninth Week

This week was fairly boring. Aleenah did not too much. The usual; eat, sleep, bathroom, repeat. She was coming down with a cold, so we tried to stay home as much as we could. I am going back to work next week, so we also stayed home so that we could enjoy some Mommy and baby time.

The Olympics were on, so that was really fun to watch.

Aleenah has also discovered a new way to use her facecloth, she played peek a boo with the cats, the dog and everyone else in the house. She thought she was pretty funny, we thought she was pretty cute. It is definitely going to be hard to leave her with a babysitter starting next week, but she will be with Eric, so she will most likely be just fine.

Her method of getting around is still with her bum, and she still has no desire to try and stand up. The doctor says she is developing differently then others, but that it is of no concern.

Next week will be Alee's first day at daycare, I hope it goes well!

Forty Eight Week

This week was Aleenah's first Valentine's Day. We went and spent it with our friends Evan and Rebecca, and their two daughters Natalie and Emma. We had a lovely dinner, and Alee got to play with some new toys. I'm sure these three girls will be good friends, as Aleenah is right in between them for age.

We also went and visited Gramma Hughes and Eric on Monday. Eric and Alee had their usual bath, they are so funny. Gramma now tells them to stop splashing, then counts them down and says GO and they just start splashing even harder.

Other than that Alee and mommy mostly relaxed at home, bumming around the house in her pajamas until 2 in the afternoon most days. She's also officially been switched to milk, and she seems to really like it.

She is still getting around on her butt, by scooting... the crawling just may never come.

Forty Seventh Week

This week was quite boring, we spent the majority of it at home, doing what we do best... relaxing. Aleenah had a few nights where she woke up around midnight, but she would sleep in until 11:00am the next day, so she made up her sleep.

On Tuesday we once again went to Stephanie, Riley and Ella's to play. Aleenah was standing by herself, for 15 seconds at a time, that was really exciting. She is also starting to almost crawl, she is finally getting her leg back... but sometimes she face plants which makes her give up. I;m sure it will not be much longer now.

Other than that, we did a little bit of shopping and we sold a lot of Alee's clothes that she has outgrown. That money is going into her saving, and she's made quite a bit in just one week.

On Thursday we went to Melise's house, and we watched Vampire Diaries, and Survivor. Alee was super good, as always, just playing on the floor. Although she did cry when Melise's pig came by... he was pretty scared of her as well.

Next week is Valentine's day, Alee has the perfect outfit!! Should be another fun first holiday.

Forty Sixth Week

We finally decided to put Aleenah back in her crib, after a long time sleeping in her playpen (due to the Storkcraft recall). We had tried a few times before and she was always sticking her feet out the sides, but after properly tucking her in under the blankets, we are no longer running into this problem.

Once again we went to Stephanie's to hang out with her, Riley and Ella. Aleenah had a blast, we usually get there after all their naps, that way they are all ready to play. She has a few toys that Alee does not have, like big blocks... we might need to get her some for her birthday.

This week Aleenah also worked on her scooting skills, had baths and the most fun of all... we had Eric over for the whole day on Friday. Alee and Eric had a great time playing, and it's so nice to see Eric with her, he just loves his "Leena" (as he calls her). Still no signs of crawling or walking, maybe she will before her first birthday, maybe not, we will see.
