Ally has not learned to roll from her stomach to her back but she has figured out how to go from sitting to laying down on her tummy. She slides backwards to get around, it's cute. 
She says dada all the time but is starting to make other noises. She can say her name and Gage & Cady after hearing me say it a few times. She still only says momma when she's hurt or fussy. I'll take it. 
Whenever someone talks to her, Ally acts shy now and burrows her head in my chest.
I miss the nights when she slept so well, I guess it's teething that's making her wake every few hours. She has her 2 bottom teeth now. Even with the not sleeping all night, she's still my sweet baby (just a little fussy). 
She has started to dance and it is so cute. She basically rocks back and forth while sitting. 
*I can't help but think back to when I found out I was pregnant, I was so worried and felt horrible because of what could have happened to Ally because of the medicine I was taking. I kept thinking about what one of my doctor's told me: "If you become pregnant, by the time you find out the baby will probably be dead. If not, there will almost certainly be severe birth defects". This doctor wanted me to have a hysterectomy so that I wouldn't get pregnant, she said it was selfish to my other 2 children to put myself at risk.
Things could have gone badly, I could have had a miscarriage or a baby with health problems. I could have even had clotting problems. God is still God, and we would have praised Him whatever the outcome was. We would have loved our baby just as much, whatever the challenges. But God was gracious and allowed us to have a living, completely healthy baby. He has blessed us with so much throughout our lives, having Ally has been an amazing addition to our family. I cannot imagine life without her and am glad that I did not give in to the pressure of that 1 doctor. While I appreciate doctors and heed most of their warnings when it comes to my health, I didn't feel that this particular advice was right for me. Doctors are not always correct, and even when they are, our children are a blessing, not a choice of circumstance and convenience. They are worth the risk & I'm glad I was able to take it with a positive outcome.
