It's Celebration Time!

This week has been full of fun. On Tuesday evening, Matt and I took Alexa to the fair for her first time. We thought she'd be taken by all of the lights. But the people seemed to interest her more. Not even the ducks proved to be as entertaining. Here are some pictures from our trip:


Whoa, look at all these people... with hair!


Mommy has me, but I'd like to have a funnel cake, please.


Daddy won her, her first fair animal (it's the white tiger)


Then she started getting tuckered


Two seconds later


The fun whirled on around her, but she was oblivious


On Wednesday my side of the family had a group birthday dinner. We didn't get a chance to get together for my birthday in September, so we got together on Dale's birthday and celebrated mine, Dale's, and Matt's. It's neat to see CJ and Alexa become more aware of each other.


Who is THAT?


How come that baby has no hair?


What a sweet big-cousin!


Who is this strange uncle of mine?


Bouncy time!


Rockin with Granny

That's all for now. I'm amazed I managed to get photos on her within days of them being taken... WOO HOO!!

I have some new videos for everyone. The first is our precious little niece who is almost exactly 3 weeks younger than Alexa. Christabelle stopped in with her family on the way home from getting her shots and got a little hungry. So she's shaking her head back and forth...




And here is another one of Alexa unable to keep her eyes open in the middle of a feeding...


Her onsie is curtesy her doting Oma.

As for an update, I should probably knock on some wood before posting this, but the past weekend went very well. Friday night Alexa slept 9 hours straight. Saturday it was 8 hours and Sunday it was another 9. So we had a very Blessed and restful weekend!

Poor little Christabelle didn't rest quite as well. It seems like the rest comes in waves. One night they sleep straight through, the next they need comforting or feeding every couple of hours... Bless their precious little hearts!

Odds and Ends

Matt recently had a conference in Atlanta and Alexa and I tagged along so daddy wouldn't get lonely. :o) We just bummed around the hotel and the ritzy neighborhood that was around the corner. I took some pictures of her in her cute little cherry outfit and I thought I'd share. I even learned how to use the timer to get a picture of the two of us!


Alexa was just waking up from a nap. Gotta get in a good stretch!


Yay, it's play time again!

Sleepy Head

I took this video of Alexa the other day. She fell asleep while she was eating and this was just too irresistible to not video. Here it is:

PS I know the lighting is bad... Sorry!
