Baby Loo Two: Weeks 26 & 27

So, week 26 and 27 have been seriously crazy around the Looten household… and Miss A. continues to grow like a weed! She is six months old now, and is developing a lot of personality! She’s eating all kinds of fruits and vegetables, and loves most of them. She doesn’t care for peas or peaches, but everything else is fair game. And she eats A LOT! She usually has two full things of food every evening for dinner... which means she’s really growing! We haven’t had her 6 month doctor’s appointment yet; we go next week, and I’m excited to see how much she weighs now.

She’s also getting really mobile. She rolls all over the place as soon as we set her down, and is trying really hard to crawl. She laughs a lot, and is almost always a happy, cheerful baby… except, of course, when she’s hungry! The coolest thing that she’s started to do recently is really reach for people. She loves to touch people’s faces, and always reaches up whenever you come near to her. It’s such a sweet feeling! She also is laughing and talking so much more now. She’s very ticklish, especially on her neck. It’s very cute… she still get the hiccups every time she gets to laughing, though!

But enough updating… on to the pictures! :)

While we were in IL for the MDA Walk, Audrey had fun hanging out with that whole side of the family. They will always have kind of a special place for her, since she was born there!

Gabe was very interested in her, too… all of the cousins seemed to love having a baby around!

Funniest thing, Audrey and Aunt Sarah were sitting in this chair, and Audrey was absolutely FASCINATED by the ball on the arm of the chair. She spent forever like this, and kept trying to get her mouth around it. It was pretty hilarious…

Just like her big sister, Audrey doesn’t like to sit while she’s being held. She wants to stand, all the time. So, I busted out the jungle bouncer… she enjoyed it for awhile…

But she’s really still too short for it! Soon, though! :)

This past weekend was quite the adventure, with recarpeting our house , plus Roots, Blues & BBQ. Audrey took it like a champ, though…

Passed out on our air mattress, she didn’t have any trouble sleeping!

Even during a concert at RB&BBQ!

She did eventually wake up, and loved the music!

Saturday she spent a lot of time hanging out in her pack and play, since we were down to concrete floors! She seemed to like playing in the sunshine, though!

Saturday night we headed back downtown for Roots & Blues, and Audrey had a fun first… FIRST SHOES! It was chilly, and she wouldn’t keep her socks on, so we put on some little tennies to make her leave them on! They looked pretty adorable…

But she was pretty fascinated with them!

It was a little colder at Roots and Blues then we even thought, but Audrey snuggled up with Uncle Charlie and her pink blanket and made it through alright!
