It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas...

Miss Alexa in for some fun Christmas photos this week. We even managed to put ourselves together enough to get a family picture. It was a lot of fun.

We had to take her shiny black shoes off mid way through the session because she was too enamored with them to look at the photographer. Oh the simple joys of young life!


She's been doing so many new things... Attempting to sit up is at the top of that list. She wants to sit up on her own so much. But usually she ends up trying to fling herself forward. Scary! But we're always near by to try and prevent any injury!

I can't wait until she and CJ are old enough to play together. For now they check each other out and go back to chewing on anything within 2 inches of their mouths. But they look so cute together. Lisa and I hope to take them for pictures together sometime in the new year.

Matt and I ventured out to dinner with Alexa tonight. We made an attempt at it when she was 5 or 6 weeks, but we didn't make it through dinner. She was NOT having the whole sitting in her carrier doing nothing routine. But she did great tonight. I fed her then we left. She sat in her carrier chewing on her toys, eyeing our food and flashing a smile at anyone who looked her way. We had a really nice, relaxing dinner. It's amazing what a good mood getting to go out to eat with your family will put you in!

Love, April
