Aliya is half a year old today!

Aliya is 6 months old today. She has started teething again so she has been a little fussy but as always she is still a sweetheart. We spent the day with Fui at the mall and had so much fun and scored some great deals, of course! For dinner we headed to the Martins where homemade pumpkin pie greeted us and makes you think whats the point of eating anything else ever again, for you have hit the peak of perfection in this single bite. Aliya loved it, too, along with her coldstone cupcakes, courtesy of Fui. Of course we had a great time, we were at Grandma Joan and Grandpa Georges house. They are always so hospitable and welcoming. Noah and Aliya took to each other like PB and J! It was super cute.

Some little known facts about Aliya:

Favorite song- Baby Beluga

Favorite toy- as of 2 days ago a toy sword Rob got from the dollar store but I think its only her favorite because her dad plays with her and makes her laugh. Since she started teething, it is the cold teether's Shelby got her, after I freeze them. She also loves her keys that she plays with every morning when she wakes up.

Favorite time of day-Aliya smiles the most in the morning and always flashes her pearly whites in the mirror after I get her dressed. She is such a good helper, she lifts her legs up when I change her diaper and opens her mouth when she sees her toothbrush.

Favorite Show- Sesame Street

Favorite pet- Madison, of course! She giggles sometimes just when she looks at Maddi. Other times she will just sit and watch Maddi as if Maddi is the most fascinating thing in the world, it is adorable.

Favorite Dad- Hers! She loves her dad and gets so excited when he comes home! She smiles and jumps in excitement. Nobody can make her laugh the way he does, its so fun to watch!

Least Favorites- She really does not like having her face washed in the morning. She isn't fond of her carseat or stroller, she'd rather be held. She isn't a big fan of bottles or babyfood. Mom is yummiest to her!

I love how her personality is stating to emerge and I am so looking forward to seeing her grow up! I am so proud of my little half year old!

Aliya got some great 1/2 year birthday gifts from her dad, nanimaa and adam mama! The music table is so fun! It is a little tall for her but she loves it.
