8 months old

Aaliyah is finally sleeping thru the night!!! Yeah, so happy I can say that, mommy can get a good nights sleep; well I'll always toss and turn, but knowing she's sleeping okay is so nice. She'll go down around 8:00 and wake up around 7:00. There have been a couple times I had to get up and rock her, but most nights she's good. The other night, she went down at 7:30 and me and Greg watched a movie together; I don't remember that last time we did that! I used to go to bed when she did...I don't know what to do with myself! Now we're working on her crawling, it's hard for her to keep her legs under, but Greg is good at helping her. Her new thing is scrunching her nose, it makes me laugh. She spits sometimes too, getting a little sassy. It's been fun shopping with her sitting up in the cart. She likes sucking on fruits/veggies. Her she is sucking on a piece of cantaloupe.



Here are some pics of her in the bath tub, haven't taken any bath time pics in a long time, so cute. I love bath time with her, then I get to cuddle her up in the towel. I'm starting to think I should put her in the regular bath tub pretty soon. But she does so well and doesn't try to get out or anything.


I wanted to show a pic right out of the tub with her curls! Her hair is kinda funny and could almost cut it, so long on the sides but real short in the back.





Can't wait to see what she'll be doing next month. It just keeps getting better!

Activities

It's been awhile since my last blog and here's what we've been up to. For St. Patty's Day, we went to the Parade downtown, it was a beautiful day, but pretty windy. Aaliyah was not liking it too much but finally settled down and had a good time at Trinity. Sunday, we all went to the sports show; they had little baby cubs there, so cute. The following weekend, Glenn was home. We spent a lot of time just hanging out and had our first bon-fire, so much fun!! We had Elizabeths 1st birthday party; it was nice we got to sit outside. Yesterday, we met a friend from MOPS for coffee and her mom joined us. She said Aaliyah looked like me! All I've been hearing is how much she looks like Greg, so that was cool. And today we have another fun-filled day, Hayden's birthday party and the Brat Days kick-off brat fry.

Back to Work

I went back to work this Tuesday. I got hired through Seek at Personalized Awards, I'll be working Tuesdays and Wednesdays 9-3. It's nothing too exciting, days go fast, it's real close in town and I'm happy to have something. I don't have to worry about Aaliyah cuz she's with grandma and grandpa. They are so happy to watch her; yesterday they went for a walk it was so nice out. And when we got home, I put her in the swing for the first time!

Weekend at the Pulleys

Baby Abigail was born Feb. 29th!! So, last weekend we went to Peoria to meet Abigail and celebrate Lydias 2nd birthday. It was such a nice weekend; Abigail is just perfect and Julie looks great! Abigail is eating and sleeping so well already and she's only a couple days old. I think she'll be sleeping thru the night in no time and I'm still working on it with Aaliyah!? I'm hoping it'll be easier with my second one. I was happy me and Aaliyah got to stay until Tuesday and spend time with Julie. We got out of the house and went to Old Navy; that was fun, she found some really cute shirts.

Me and Abigail. It's hard to believe Aaliyah was smaller than her not that long ago.

Here's Lydia with her Dora ice cream cake; she LOVES Dora!
