The Wallen Family: August 2008

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:
