Walking

For the past couple of days Alex has been trying to walk, on Monday night she took about 8 steps. Tonight I think I can officially say that she is walking. She walked across the kitchen quite a few times tonight!!

More pics

Alex with Max's winter hat on!! Oh yeah and his PJ's!!

Last night I stopped by to see Jan and Max. As she was being a little ham, Jan took some pics!!

Thanksgiving and smiles!!

We went to Prestonsburg for Thanksgiving and spent some time with Jody's family! This is Laryn, (Jody's sister), Jody, Dean (Jody's Dad) and of course, Alex. Sorry about the quality of the pic! Alex suddenly decided to smile every time we took her picture! Quite funny, especially with her teeth coming in!! Jody's aunt is sitting down! Dinner at grammies house. The little ice cream cone that she is holding used to be Jody's bottle!!

Alex Tries to Walk!

Huge Update

I am so sorry that I have not updated the site recently. Everything is going great, Alex is getting bigger every day. At her 6 month check up she was 13 lbs, so she is still pretty skinny! She is now scooting around the house very quickly, she can crawl but she knows she can get where she wants to go faster by scooting! She is sitting up but also does not like to just sit there, as she is constantly on the go. Last week she started to pull herself up to a standing position, I think she is growing up too fast. She does not have any teeth yet but she is loving food, everything excpet green beans.

OK, so first picture is her 6 month picture:

For July 4th week we went up to Indianapolis to meet up with an old friend of mine, Ximena and her husband Brian. We had a great week and it was so nice to catch up with old friends! So, the next two pictures were taken July 4th.

Sunday July 6th will probably go down in tennis history as one of the greatest matches of all times, in the Wallen household it will be remembered as the first 'Breakfast at Wimbledon' for Alex! Unfortunately she could not enjoy the strawberries and cream (as she cannot eat strawberries yet), she will get to do that next year. Alex did decide that she was going to wear her tennis dress and play with her little tennis racquet

One of the highlights of my year is being a part of the womens pro tournament that is held each year down at UK. this year Jody and Alex got to be down there with me almost every day and Alex had a ton of pictures taken of her, these are just a few:

These next two pictures were taken last weekend. Alex now LOVES the water and has so much fun at her godparents house!

These last pictures were taken at our friend, Ramsey's wedding:

I will try to do better updating! Thanks for looking!!!!

First time in the pool

Today we went to Lisa and Steves house. They have a beautiful pool, so we lathered Alex up with sunscreen, put on her bathing suit and took her into the pool. As you will see by the pictures it took her a little while to get used to the water, but in the end she enjoyed it. She kept looking down in the water at her feet!

June 1st Pictures

These were taken last Sunday, June 1st.

2nd Date with Max

Today Alex and I spent the day down at UK watching some of the kids that I work with play in the Kentucky State High School Tournament. Jan came down with Max and so we were able to get some more pictures of the two of them! Alex was wanting to 'get to' Max, I wonder what we are in for in the years to come!!

Mothers Day

Wow, my first Mothers Day!! What a feeling, the best in the world! Jody and I cooked dinenr for my parents and used our china and dining room table for the first time! It was nice to have them over as we have not really had any room before.

Baptism

On April 13th Alex was baptised at Walnut Hill Church the same church that Jody and I got married in. Her godparents are Stephen and Lisa Conn. It was a really nice day and afterwards we had a few of our friends over to the house for a little get together.

!st Spring Day Out

This weekend was so beautiful outside, so we took advantage of the nice weather and watched Dadddy cut the grass!!
