Today our little girl turned 7 months! She is growing so fast and we can't even remember how little she really was. We are LOVING this age. She is so expressive and in such a good mood most of the day. She loves to be tickled and squeals with some big belly laughs when you bite at her tummy. Allie can now sit up on her own and is doing barrel rolls around the living room. and as of the other day is scooting backward on her tippy toes. We know crawling is just around the corner. As you have seen she is eating food and I have really enjoyed making some of her food. It's so much easier feeding her then it was a month ago. It would take 20 minutes to get an ounce in her and now she eats quickly and willingly! Her personality is really coming out and she is the sweetest thing. She wins over strangers in a second. Everyone falls in love with those big blue eyes and dimples!

Allie has been having fun with her new trick that she likes to do.
I think Beth has more fun getting Allie to do it!

Allie has the curse of chubby knees that she got from my side. You will never catch me in shorts or a short skirt. :) Sorry Allie. Her doctor also says she has good breastfeeding legs. Look at those thunder thighs! Ever since Allie was born Matt has made up little songs for her. Usually to the tune of another song but he changes the words. Here is his latest one to the tune of bah-bah black sheep.

Bah-bah Allie-kins have you any chub?
Yes I do
Lots of it
Right around my knees

Matt finally picked up the camera and caught some pictures of me and my girl. I love this girl so much! She is the reason my life is so full.

I have a lot of pictures to share with everyone but we lost our thing to download our pictures onto the computer. Hopefully we will find it soon. For now I will try and download some at my sisters. Stay tuned!

Last week we started giving Allie rice cereal. At first she just wanted to chew on the spoon but now she actually wants to eat the cereal. Of course she also wants to rub her mouth with her hand and then rub the cereal all over her face and ears. What a mess! :)

My sister has been begging me to read Twilight for a long time and I finally gave in. Well I fell in love. All the books are awesome! I just finished the fourth today. Last week Matt's mom had a couple of family friends in town and Tamara is a Twilight fan too and since the movie was filmed here they were going to check out some of the spots so I decided to tag along.

They have a "walk of fame" were you can buy a brick to help fix the chimney at The ViewPoint Inn and the film crew bought some and had the characters names put on them

Allie loved the view too!

The arch from the prom that the movie people left

Then we made a stop at Multnomah Falls were they filmed just a little. It was well worth the stop. It always is!
