A Few of Alaina's Favorite Things

Now that our "little sprout" is a few months old, we are starting to see a lot more of her personality. I thought it would be fun to write about some of her favorite things to do. . . .

Alaina loves to take baths. She only squeaked a little bit during her first bath at the hospital, and since then, she has never cried in the tub--not even when having her hair washed (although she sometimes cries when we take her out!). Alaina has just about outgrown her baby bathtub (although I still put her in it when she takes baths with Janae . . . for obvious reasons!).



Alaina started rolling at the beginning of the month, and now it's hard to stop her. She is really good at getting from her back to her tummy, and is starting to roll from her tummy to her back as well. She also loves to grab her feet and chew on her toes :)

 

Alaina loves to be propped up to standing--and then she stays on her feet by herself. She is pretty steady. Here she is beside our bead maze, trying to put the wires in her mouth!

 

Alaina is constantly trying to suck her thumb. When Benjamin and Janae did this, I immediately removed their thumbs from their mouths and gave them soothers. With Alaina I just think it is too adorable :)

 

Finally, Alaina's all-time favorite thing to do is watching all the crazy things Benjamin and Janae are doing. I think her biggest smiles are for her brother and sister!

 

Alaina has a few dislikes, too, including spending time in the van, getting dressed, and bonking her head, but overall she is an easygoing and content baby. We are really happy she's part of our family!
