8 Months!

On Monday Alina was eight months old! I can't believe how fast the time has gone by. To celebrate we had some friends over (and because it was Labor Day:). The Rogers came with their kids and Matt and Jessica came with Patrick. At one point Alina and Patrick were both on the floor playing with Riley and Jesse. They loved it! We had a great time.

We can't believe how much Alina is growing up. She is eating all sorts of food I've pureed for her. She loves fruits and carrots and sweet potatoes, but doesn't care for peas too much. She also snacks on crackers, cheerios and "puffs" (made by Gerber to melt in their mouth). We've given her pieces of bananas to snack on but they are very slippery in her hand! Alina doesn't care for crawling yet, she's never been much a fan of being on her belly. However, she loves to sit there and play with her toys. She likes to get all the toys out of her basket and put them next to her. Macy and Alina are very good friends. Alina smiles and laughs when Macy comes and licks her feet:) We thank God for our little blessing every day!
