Eats: Alana's favorite food, and main source of nutrition, is still breast milk. She finds breast feeding interesting because there are always new ways to obtain nourishment. She can crawl over to her mommy, lie on her back and twist her neck around, sit up and nurse, lie on her tummy and nurse, and so many other cool things!
She also loves bananas, puffs, peas, YoBaby and sweet potatoes! Finger foods aren't going so well, but part of that is Mommy and Daddy's fault for being afraid she will choke.
She doesn't drink from a bottle, or a sippy cup- just from the tap.
Cool tricks: Alana can Army crawl, big kid crawl, stand while holding onto something, go from crawling to sitting unassisted, push up to an upside-down "v" shape, has the pincer grasp down like a pro and can get into mischief within a matter of seconds!
Wardrobe: Alana hangs out in her sleepers, for the most part. When she feels like getting all fancy, she'll wear a dress with argyle Baby Legs to keep her warm.
Sleeping arrangements: Alana prefers to sleep on her Mommy's side. Partially because that is her favorite spot, partially because her crib is in storage.
Likes: Being independent, crawling, noming on cords, eating things that aren't edible, sitting up on her own, cuddling, using her roll/crawl combo to get underneath the television/coffee table/her stroller or anywhere that feels like a cool fort, crawling over to Mommy to nurse, her Bjorn, lying on the ground and kicking her legs, putting her hands into people's mouths, pulling hair, playing Patty Cake, and naked time after her bath.
Dislikes: Her new duckie tub (which is a shame because she's too big for her infant tub), bubble baths, being restrained from crawling all over the place, bedtime (she hates bedtime), getting dressed/undressed (a relatively new thing), being pounded on the back when Mommy and Daddy are trying to get non-food items out of her mouth, not getting attention, and lying in bed when she's awake.
Favorite colors: Pink and purple. Although this is clearly speculation by her Mommy, they have to be pink and purple.
Other things Alana enjoys: Sparkly things (like Mommy's rings), long walks on the beach, fancy dinners, Coach purses, designer heels, shopping, and dresses.
