Little Talker

Loralye said mama for the first time yesterday!! Well, she actually says "mamamamama!" but it's still cute anyways. I honestly did not think that I would be excited for her to say mama because I know that when babies first say mama and dada they don't know what it means. They're just making noise. But my heart jumped into my throat when I heard her say it! I laid her down for a nap in her crib after work yesterday and went out to move my car. When I came back in the house Aaron told me to listen to Loralye cry (She crys for at least 5 minutes EVERY time she gets laid down in her crib to sleep!). It was just her normal wailing, but tossed in every few seconds was a loud "MAMAMAMAMA!!" It was so cute and so sad at the same time! Thank heaven she's been saying it just for fun today. I think that would make me so sad if she only said mama when she was crying!

Other little updates:

-She has 4 teeth: the two middle bottom ones and her two teeth on top next to where her big middle teeth will be. She has little fangs! I'm still working on getting a picture of that!

-She is eating cereal, vegetables, and fruit now along with having a little bit of fruit juice every couple of days. The only food that she really loathes is carrots. She loves most other veggies and all of her fruit as long as it's cold!

-She sits up pretty well on her own now and can stand if she is supported... finally! She used to refuse to plant her feet on the ground and she'd scream whenever we tried to get her to stand.

Pictures:

Standing with daddy in her new little jammies. I like to keep the house pretty cool at night, so I like to put Loralye in long sleeves and pants after her bath. Most baby jammies are so darn thick though so she's been just wearing a long sleeved onesie and little yoga-ish pants! But when we were at Target the other day I found these Circo jammies in a three pack... They're super light and she's never cold or sweaty when I pick her up in the night! Perfect!! (I know it's such a lame thing to be excited about, but I can't help it!)

I love her chubby little cheeks!!

All ready to go out on Saturday night! A friend of my mom's has a little girl just older than Loralye and she recently sent us a big box of clothes that her daughter grew out of. The clothes are all so stinkin cute! This is one of the outfits :)
Loralye's first time using the sippy cup! I'm hoping to have her go straight from breastfeeding to using a sippy cup when she's a year old. Hopefully 5 1/2 months is enough time to teach her to use it!
