With a Sheep - Week 24

She's becoming very contrary and refuses to take direction. Silly baby.

Alice had her 9 month check up this week! She weighs 16lbs 13oz and is 26 inches long! She is finally on the growth curve for babies her age. Because she was so early, she had her own curve and didn't reach the curve for babies her age. But she's catching up! She's ALMOST to the 25% on weight and she's right on the 5% for the height chart! Not bad for a baby 2 1/2 months behind the curve! 

She's doing so well weight wise, we can take her off the preemie formula she's been receiving. How exciting is that?!

We've tried a few foods this week that were not big hits. Apparently we're not ready for Asparagus and Broccoli. It's okay, we'll try again soon. 

And she needs to drink more water only she thinks water is gross. The doctor suggested we try sippy cups. If a baby gets water in a bottle they're used to getting milk from, they might reject it. Babies are weird. ;) So we have a few different types of cups to try. So far they're all lame. ;)

This week she got to meet some cousins for the first time!

Kandice and Alice!!

Divorce is hard and unfair to kids and cousins. And I'm tired of letting it come between us and I shouldn't be made to feel guilty for spending time with people I grew up with. We grew up together and we're still family and I don't care who I upset. Family is family. Period. 

Alice is doing SO well! And we're so very proud. Even when she's being difficult.

Still such a cutie.

Until next time......
