2011 Week 2


This week Alex learned how to stand herself up in her crib, and she is very pleased with herself. Looks like our days of a non-mobile baby are numbered. She also has added lots of sounds to her babbling repertoire, her favorite noise of the moment being a sort of guttural grunt which is hard not to laugh at. She loves dancing to any music, although Justin is afraid that she's got my moves. Poor girl.

New Year

I've decided that I don't record enough of our memories so I'm going to try to update the blog weekly with a picture and a little bit of what Alex did that week. Time is flying by and she changes so quickly that I don't want to forget anything. Even if nobody else is reading this, at least I'll have a journal of sorts to look back on.
Here goes for the first week of 2011.
We had a wonderful Christmas and New Years spent with family. Alex got a million toys and clothes, but her favorite gift was a toothbrush that Grandma put in her stocking. Chewing on the handle feels great on her gums and the squeaking noise that it makes is pretty funny. Other than that, she really didn't need presents, but she did enjoy unwrapping and eating tissue and wrapping paper.
Our precious little girl rang in the new year with her first two teeth coming in. She has been a little fussier than normal but really has such an easy temper- we are so lucky. She has also become a wiggleworm and tries to roll off the changing table, and she has started doing a lot of babbling, mostly a gaa sound. She seems like she really has something to say and is puzzled why the rest of us don't understand.

YAY!! More presents = more wrapping paper


Story time. She loves reading, especially turning the pages.
