Happy Birthday - 16 weeks old

We spent Thanksgiving in St. Louis with Aunt Allison and Miles - and managed to capture Alex's first real laugh on camera - see below. We spent the rest of the weekend getting our Christmas tree and decorating it. The blanket Alex is laying on was crocheted for her by someone Aunt Allison knows.

Happy Turkey Day

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We have so much to be thankful for this year.

Alex came home with this very stylish hat courtesy of daycare. Don't let her expression fool you - she loves it!

An eventful week - starting last Sunday, Alex got to hang out with BFF Ava Barbaro, she got her first real cold-complete with a little cough and stuffy nose and Alex's first real trip to Princeton, MO (a.k.a. Grandma Hardy's house)for the closing weekend of deer season, playing with cousins and an early family Thanksgiving. Enjoy the pics - more to the right under the November picture!

Happy Birthday - 14 weeks old

A very exciting week! Naomi Elise Lai (one of Alex's B.F.F.s) was born Tuesday. Congrats to the Lai Family on their new bundle of joy.

Alex continues to roll around and is on the verge of laughing. We put together the "Bounce Bounce Baby" activity center and Alex really seems to like it, she's still a little small for it. Here are some pictures and video of her week!

Rolling over at 3 months old

Alex is officially 3 months old today - November 10th!! To celebrate she decided to roll over this evening after Dad picked her up from day care. See videos below for the proof!

Happy Birthday - 13 weeks old

An eventful week here in Columbia, MO. Jessica started back to work Monday only to have the daycare call at noon stating Alex had a fever and was getting the boot! Dad came to the rescue and picked up the little turkey and mom headed home.

All three of us went to the doctor to find out that there was nothing wrong with her and her temp was normal.....guess she's decided to start rebelling early! In all fairness to the day care, our thermometer at home also stated she was running a fever - but had no other symptoms, except smiling, rolling around and generally looking very content.

By Friday, Mom and Dad started sporting a cold with scratchy throats and stuffy noses, but Alex seems to be the healthiest of all - tomorrow she will be three months old to the day!!

Jessica's leave from work officially ends today - it's back to work full time tomorrow. Here is Alex wearing the same outfit from her 1 week photo - it's pretty tight, especially the hat!
