She love s to color. She is constantly saying, "I drawing! I drawing!". I find her laying on the floor, sitting on the couch, in her room, coloring. She loves it. She is talking a lot and is usually pretty easy to understand.  She calls Daddy's belt a seat belt. Favorite shows: The Cosby Show, Super Why & Veggie Tales. She still loves bath-time. She has finally calmed down about having her hair washed. She likes to sit in Sissy's bath seat when Sissy is done. She has had her hair cut one time (just the back). She is starting to need another trim. She is starting to like having her hair hair in a ponytail (on the top of her head). She also likes barrettes in her hair.  She is still a picky eater. She loves cereal (Cheerios, Kix and Raisin Bran are favorites), chicken, corn, beans, raisins, crasins, Taco Bell rice, toast, M&Ms.; She still LOVES milk. She likes blocks and books. She is getting better at sharing with Sissy...

Our sweet Allie-Girl is 5 months! Wow. She is super sweet and super mellow. She is finally sleeping a little better. She is only getting up once at night most of the time. She can easily roll from her back to her tummy. She gets stuck on her tummy so hopefully she will quickly learn how to roll back onto her back. Since she can roll over, she likes to roll to her tummy and sleep that way. She likes rice cereal but is quite a messy eater. She weighs 17 pounds 14.2 ounces (95-97 th %). She is 26.22 inches long (90%). Her head circumference is 16.5 inches (25-50%). She is in the 90 th percentile for height and weight. She gets very chatty when she is tired. She loves her b ig sister. Gracie wore this same outfit for her 5 months photo. Go here to see the pics .   I finally wrote about Gracie at 21 months. Go here to read about it.
