Alana 7 months

Alana is now 7 months old!  The past month has passed by so quickly.  I remember thinking of the day she would be half a year old, and now that day has come and gone!

There's been many new developments in the past month.  She rolls over now - still only onto her stomach but can't roll back.  She loves to sing to herself.  She can sit up on her own without support.  She pulls herself to a stand with help.  She has been eating baby food for the last couple of weeks.  It was a strange transition.  We have been trying to feed her, and she kept spitting everything out.  Then one day, she just devoured her meal and she has been eating ever since.  So far, she seems to like everything.  Peas, carrots, sweet potatoes, and apples.  She can pretty much finish the whole jar of food - which is about 2 ounces. Oh, and she also likes to hold her own bottle now.

First Sharks game

Alana went to her first Sharks game on September 24th, 2010.  We weren't sure how it was going to go.  We knew it would be loud, so we decided to buy baby ear muffs to protect her ears.  We purchased the Peltor Jr. ear muffs, and they fit her perfectly!  I tested them out, and they work really good. 

At the game, Alana was just as happy as can be.  The noise inside the Pavilion was insane!  There were loud whistles and screams.  With the ear muffs on, Alana was not phased.  The Sharks even scored 4 times that night, and every time we held our breathes while the loud whistle blew.  She didn't seem bothered by it at all.  At one point, she actually fell asleep and slept through the goal and everything!  It was a very fun night.  Jeff tried to get her a hockey stick, but she was sleeping so he couldn't bring her to the glass at the end of the night.
