Alena Saylor at 21 & 22 weeks

Alena is now on all fours rocking back and forth. She is very close to crawling. We are feeding her cereal every night now and we are about to start introducing veggie’s to her diet. We are getting the organic veggie’s to be on the safe side. I had to go into work this last week for training and Alena stayed with Yvette on Tuesday, Tammy on Wednesday and Brenda, the nanny and my mom both split Thursday. Everyone said she did well. I am so proud of her. I missed her like crazy while I was away from her! She has a funny little laugh that cracks me up. She is one week away from being 6 month old!!! I cannot believe it. Pictures from the last two weeks are below:

Alena at 19 & 20 weeks

Alena and I were busy going to the library and to the pool a lot. She also has been hanging out at the gym so mommy can work out. She even made it to the big out door pool at the gym with her cousin Rachel and Aunt Tammy. I attached pictures from the last two weeks below and you can see how much she resembles her dad in two of the photos. Aman is holding a baby pic of himself up next to her. She fell asleep with her thumb in her mouth - this is big since she has only been using her fingers or her entire fist to comfort herself. We went to a Gateway pool party on 6/29 and there are pics of her there with Lindi & Wade. She also got her first cold and stayed up for most of two nights in a row. You can see how sad she looks in the stripped outfit sitting in the bumbo after a long sleepless night for all of us. Poor Aman went to the drug store at 3:30am to get her some medicine - it was a long night. She had a fun 4th of July. We went to the Shaddy Hollow parade and then home for a nap. We ran some errands and then had dinner with Dave & Kim & Lauren at Hyde Park Grill. We then went to see the fire works at Barton Creek Mall. Lauren was so good with Alena. On Sat. when we were playing after going to the farmers market & waking down Congress having pizza & cupcakes from Hey Cupcake, Alena Saylor said both mama & dada. What a smarty!
