One Smart Cookie

Smart Cookie

Alleah is such a fun baby. So much personality. She has always been alert ever since birth. Always looking around and noticing different things. Such a smiley baby too. She has smiled ever since 1 month old! Always so happy! So many people tell me how much of a smiley baby she is :)

She goes through these stages where she has to do something new. Sometimes we're like "oh thats SO cute" but we have also been like "what in the world are you doing." Either way, we love our kid.

This past 6 months to now (almost 9 months).. she has changed a ton!! She has this new thing where she opens and closes her mouth but makes a clicking noise with her tongue. So cute!! She scrunches her nose, smiles and breaths in and out really quick and loudly. I find it so adorable! She can wave bye bye now :) Say "baba" and "nana" and "dada" not yet momma :( but that will come. She climbs onto everything and just hangs there. She loves to climb all over mommy and daddy. I know I've mentioned it before since she's been able to clap since she was 6 1/2 months old, but its just so dang adorable when she does it. She used to do it with just her fists but now she full on clap with her palms. She gets so excited when she does it! Her dad taught her how to spit... She's been doing it for a few months now.. but its the funniest thing ever. Specially because she does it in church haha. Her dad also would to blow on her face and make Alleah laugh.. well now she is trying to blow. I taught her how to make noises with her mouth and hand. (you know when you go up and down over your mouth with your finger while saying ahhhhh) I dunno what its called, but Alleah can do that :) she does it with her fist haha. My dad taught Alleah to "get mad" she does two fists and then makes a mad face. Its so adorable!! She loves to dance! She wiggles and laughs... it is seriously the cutest thing!! I have notice that Alleah learns things you show her very quickly. She may of taken a little longer crawling (which is 100% okay with me) but everything else that we show her comes naturally. We show her a few times... she understands... and then does it. Alleah makes me one proud momma. She is such a quick learner.

Oh my gosh... Crawling... Can I just tell you, I am always on my feet!! That little girl goes everywhere... nothing stops her. Once she wants to get somewhere, she will make it happen to actually get there. I hope she takes awhile to walk haha.

Alleah LOVES to jump in her jumper, she even tries to jump on our laps. She just has so much fun doing it!

Alleah has quite an appetite. She loves food. Just recently I've been letting her sit at her high chair and feed herself. She has a blast. I still give her a bottle and feed her baby food. But she just loves trying new food. Today she ate tater tots and then my mom's homemade chicken noodle soup... she LOVED it!!

Its just so crazy to see how much our little girl is growing. Going through different stages and learning different things. We have so much fun with her. She is such an amazing baby!! In only 3 months Alleah will be 1.. WHAT THE HECK... right?! Goodness... I miss my little newborn! but I love watching her grow :)
I absolutely adore my little family!!
