7 Months

Has it been this long? I can't believe how quickly this time has flown by with Allie. She is growing so fast now and can do so much now.



Two days ago she started to wave. The first time at Grandma Guptill. (Who was visiting from Montana for the weekend.) I loved that!

She reaches out to me now when she wants me to pick her up from playing on the floor.



This weekend, she started to fuss once in a while when I leave the room. I'm not sure how I feel about that, but right now I feel loved.



Allie absolutely loves the silky tags on things and zeros in on them with her eagle eye. If she can't put them in her mouth, she'll squawk in protest.

She always is sticking out her tongue. She is getting very talented at blowing raspberries. Loud ones.



We finally moved her into her own room a couple of weeks ago and I think she loves it. She gets the biggest smile looking around her room. The boys come in to see her. Justin has been sneaking into her room while she is sleeping during the day to hide behind the rocking chair and play his iPhone games. The first time I sat down to rock her after she had woken up, I got quite the surprise when Justin stood up behind me. The funny thing is that now I know he might do the same thing again but it still startles me just the same.

Allie adores her "boys". They can do NO WRONG in her eyes. It really is quite adorable, but I sometimes wish she would cry or something when they accidentally squeeze her a little too tight or step on her finger as they hurry by. She has never cried at something they have done to her. Thank goodness they are both so kind and gentle practically 100% of the time.
