Alisyn's Year Check Up

So Alisyn had her year check up ... Her doc said she is doing great! She just wants Alisyn to gain more weight. She weighs 17lbs, she is 30in long, and her head is 17 1/4in. I expected to hear some resistance when she found out I was still nursing and planned on continuing until baby says otherwise(or until two years), not a word about it! She asked me about vaccines and I once again said no, Then she asked me if I gave Alisyn any whole milk, to which I replied " No, she will not be getting cows milk unless it is raw cows milk, she will more then likely have raw almond milk since it has more calcium then cows milk any ways" and she smiled at me and said i couldn't agree more and she gave me a phone number for a farm that sell raw milk and farm fresh eggs and then asked me how I make almond milk and so I told her and she couldn't believe how easy it was! This made me like her even more!! Ohh and Alisyn likes her as well :)

9 month check up

So Alisyn hasn't gained any weight since her last check up she has grown though she is now 27 1/2 inches long! She is right on track when it comes to her milestones.

Alisyn now has 4 teeth! .. and let me tell you when she bites while nursing it is not cool!

So i started to sleep train Alisyn and kinda didn't follow through since she was teething ... but the last two nights she has slept from 9pm-4am and then she nurses and wakes up again at 6 am going to try and take away the 4am feeding since she also wants to nurse at 6am. im super happy that she removed the 2am wake up call by herself! Also her naps are no longer short 30-45 minute now they are 1 1/2 to 2 hour naps! (this means i get a nap as well! lol)

Alisyn walks along EVERYTHING! She also pulls herself up and can stand by herself for about 10 seconds! and if she holds onto our fingers she can walk pretty darn good! i cant wait till she starts walking and talking more! just need to get a few more baby gates before it happens lol

Alisyn's First Night ..

So Last night was Alisyn's first night sleeping in her OWN room .. it was bittersweet i did miss her tons! but she did better sleeping in her own room last night then she did sleeping in our room .. so i hope now that she is in her own room she will sleep better trough the nioght she is still up at 7 am UGH! So i guess im going to start ECing again in the morning and after her naps :]]

She is having a rough time with her top two teeth cutting through :/

She is now walking along the furniture, and pulling herself up with ease. She can also stand on her own for a few seconds.

Alisyn has an apt. first week of Sept so will check back then :]]

Top teeth!

Alisyn's top teeth are starting to break through! i cant wait she is going to look so darn cute with 4 teeth!


She now crawls at the speed of light it seems lol, she pulls herself up like nothing and she can take a few steps along the furniture while holding on of course. She seems to have a new sounds everyday and i love it! she can now pronounce mom and dad with ease and its AMAZING to hear her say mama it warms my heart♥

she is now eating two meals a day the consist of fruit/veggies which she feeds herself. She is doing awesome with her food and it kinda neat i guess in a way to see her poop change LOL

besides the two meals she is still breastfeed that makes a total of 8 1/2 so far and not a drop of formula :]]

First Family Trip!

We went on our first family trip to Vegas (for my birthday LOL)

Lets just say the drive is killer! Alisyn did pretty darn good for being in the car off and on for 11 hours there and 13 hours on the way back(we did a 2 hour detour).

She did AMAZING with all the site seeing we did as well. we got some great pictures of our little one! she got to get up close and personal with a big fish tank and she was so intrigued by the fish and the colors! She also had a blast when we saw the Sirens of Treasure Island the color the singing the cannons she was in love!

Elimination Communication

Alisyn and i just started practicing EC today like 30 mins ago, i decided we were going to jump head first in to EC and i must say when she went pee in the toilet the first time .. i teared up!!! i could believe how rewarding it would be for me, and the smile she gave me was kinda like ... oh ya i just peed! LOL

going to work on it till we have it down pat! cant wait im sure ill get peed on plenty.. but that the name of the game :]]
