Ally 6 month update

Ally turned 6 months on Monday and to celebrate that momentous occasion I took her to the doctor for an hour and 15 min. visit with some shots at the end. She was very grateful I'm sure! Anyway, she weighed in at 16lbs 0 oz. and was 28 inches long. She is exactly 1lb bigger than Em was at this age and 1/2 an inch longer. I thought she was going to be shorter than Emily but I guess Ally is bigger over all. Although, I think Ally will slow down as she still doesn't think baby food is necessary, not even the fruits I thought she would love.

We also learned an important lesson on Sunday night. Nana had made cake and Ice cream and everyone was out on the porch eating it and Ally was the lucky recipient of 2 tiny bites of ice cream which she immediately spit out. Unfortunately within minutes her face swelled up and broke out in huge hives. It looked horrible and freaked me out. So definitely no more sneaking bites of ice cream for Allyson.

I guess dairy is not in the near future for Ally. I can't believe that she weighs 16 lbs already! She looks sooo grown up in the picture of her at the lake.
Is Em getting excited about the possibility of getting her own room again or are you going to wait to tell her until the move gets more definate?

So she must be allergic to dairy. Poor thing! I hope she outgrows it!
