Sorry about the lack of updates.
It's been a crazy couple weeks and will probably get even worse.
I've decided to go back to school.
I'm going for my Bachelors in Elementary Educcation.
I'm doing it online through the University of Phoenix. It's going to take approximately 3 years and will most likely be a LOT of work, but it will be so worth it.
I've wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember and now I have the opportunity to make that a reality. When I was in college 15 years ago, I was really slack. I didn't want to put in the effort back then, I was just sick of school. Now I have another chance and I'm going to work my ass off!! So, blog updates may be few and far between, but I'll do my best to at least post some pictures now and then and give some quick updates.
Alanis is doing great. She's crawling now and gets faster an faster everyday. She's really working on pulling herself up and I don't think it's going to be long now before she's cruising around.
She's been trying some new foods. Like jello. She acutally likes playing with it more then eating it, but that's ok. She LOVE pancakes. I have a box of the mini pancakes and after her oatmeal in the morning, I heat one up and cut it up for her and she sits in her chair and eats it while I wash bottles and clean up.
She's getting quite the attitude and has no problem yelling at you and banging her hands on the table or ground to let you know she's not happy. She loves carter! I think she's completely facinated by him. He loves her too because she drops a lot food!
She still sleeps like a champ but is way grumpy if she's tired. She lets you know it too;)
I tried to just upload some pictures, but it's not working tonight. I'll try again tomorrow!!

Some Updates
It's been a busy week or so.
Alanis had some sort of virus for 3 days that made her have a very high temperature. It would get up to 103+ and that was while rotating Tylenol and Motrin every 3 hours. It was a little scary, but we made it through. The only other symptoms she had was a runny nose and a little cough here and there. Could be the Rhino Virus which is basically a cold. The Dr thought it might be Roseolo, but she never got the rash. I dont' know what it was, but I'm glad it's over!!
However , she passed it to mommy. I guess she's just such a nice girl she wants to share EVERYTHING with mommy! Now she passed it on to Daddy.
Big News on the Alanis front ...........................
On Thursday, she army crawled across the floor to me:) It was SO cool!! She didn't think so. She thought it would have been cooler if mommy just came and got her. I don't know where she gets that laziness from. Daddy and me are not lazy.
She's also getting tooth number 2 on the bottom!!
I wish she'd slow down a bit. I feel like it's all rushing by.
I'm so thankful that I only work part time.
She's been eating really well. Doing 5-6 bottles a day and 3 baby food meals + snacks.
She's all about food. Oh and she loves Freeze-pops. That's actually what she gets for desert now:) I know it feels good on her teethe, so I'm fine with it. Problem is, once it's gone she freaks out because she wants more.
Russ is doing well at his new job. No surprise there.
He hurt his back last week and is having some trouble getting around.
It's on the mend however and he's going to try and get some golf in today.
Well, I'll get some pics up tomorrow.
Just wanted to get you all an update since it's been awhile.

CONGRATULATIONS RUSS!!
My awsome hubby got a promotion yesterday!
It's so deserved. He works so hard. He's tired and he's worn out, but he keeps on going.
I think part of him enjoys the challenge, however, I know if it wasnt' for me and Alanis, he wouldnt' be doing it. It's a lot stress and a lot of work, but he's so determined to do whats right for Alanis and for me. He wants me to be able to continue working part time or not at all so I can be home with Alanis.
I don't know what I did to deserve such a wonderful man.
I must have done something right.
Anyway, Alanis made him a little gift yesterday................................................
She also smiled nice and big for this picture so that we could get it blown up for Daddy!
He was pleasantly surprised:D
Love you Honey!
xoxoxoxo
gain!!!

6 Months Old!!
My little baby turned 6 months old on Tuesday.
She had her 6 month appointment
Weight: 17 1/2 lbs (73%)
Height: 26 1/2" (80%)
She got shots. Made me so sad.
I think she knows the dr's office now. As soon as I put her on the table and she heard the paper crinkle it was all over. She started crying. Poor baby.
She pretty much sits on her own now. However, she'll still tip over if she's not paying attention or she moves too quick to the right or left.
She's eating 3 baby food meals a day.
LOVES food!!
The daycare can't beleive that she finishes her entire lunch every day.
She finishes ALL her meals everyday. AND has snacks.
She's a good eater that's for sure!
I got her a new Radio Flyer Wagon. The deluxe version. With the awning and storage.
It was her 6 month birthday present:)
I'll post some pics tomorrow!!!

Alanis and I are doing our typical Saturday morning routine.
She had breakfast and now we're sitting on the porch. She's in her exersaucer watching all the things going on in the neighborhood and I'm enjoying a cup of coffee while getting caught up on the news via the internet. Life is good.
Big day today! We're going to get Alanis's first professional pictures done. We figured now that she's 6 months old it's the least we could do. My camera takes great pictures and we have plenty, but it's not the same as professional pics with props and all.
After the pictures, we're going to go get me some new glasses and then out to lunch.
Nothing much else new around here.
Hope you all have a great weekend!!

Alanis is doing breakfast and dinners with baby food now.
I was going to wait until next week when she turned 6 months to add dinner. She's been doing breakfast for 2 weeks now.
Today I decided she's too hungry and enjoys eating her meals more then drinking them. Tonight when I put her in her high chair, she looked confused and once I put her bib on and she saw the baby food jar, her arms and legs went crazy and she was ALL SMILES!!! So I KNOW I did the right thing by adding a meal. She eats a lot neater at dinner then she does breakfast too.
So far I know she's not allergic to.............
Bananas
Sweet Potatoes
Pears
Peaches
Applesauce
She just started peas tonight so hopeuflly we'll add those to the list.
She LOVES bananas.
Likes Pears and Applesauce.
Tolerates Peaches.
Likes the peas so far.
She digs banana flavored puffs and LOVES to eat Banana in the Mesh feeder. Maybe her love for all this banana stuff is because I call her monkey. You think?? She definatley takes after me in the banana department. I ate them like crazy when I was pregnant.
Here are some pics from this weekend
