Happy Birthday - 28 weeks old!

And here we have Mrs. Baby in an outfit provided by Great Aunt Laura. Stunning!

Alex vs. Rice Cereal

My Poopy Valentine

Wow - I can honestly say that I've never had a Valentine's Day begin quite like this. Michael picked up the tater tot from her crib and thought she felt sweaty....only it wasn't sweat......see below. Needless to say, we instituted the new tradition of a bath first thing on V-day!

Happy Birthday 6 months old today!

This past weekend we tried rice cereal for the first time - Alex is not a huge fan, in fact she usually ends up fussing while we both attempt to shovel it in. When she opens her mouth wide enough to protest, we dump some in and she seems to like it.

Happy Birthday - 25 weeks old

Alex had a nasty cough/cold this week and was running a low grade fever (did not go much above 100). She stayed home with Mom or Dad in shifts Wednesday thru Friday.

Her nose has been really congested (see below) and she's gotten to the point where when she hears a tissue pulled out of the box, she starts crying!

Wednesday night was especially tough-Alex really did not feel well at all and could not sleep unless she was on someone. Mom slept on the couch with Alex, taking special precautions that she didn't slide off in the night - (a lot of creative work with pillows).

Mom now has the cold and Dad will likely get it next. When is Spring?
