Playing in the Pool

Easter 09

3 months worth of news!

Gosh, I cant believe how times flies by... Alex is now running everywhere, starting to say a ton of words, even putting a couple of words together, one of my favourite is when I say to her "Is that alright?' and she answers 'alright'. She loves Dora and even sings along with the backpack song!

She is asking for certain foods and will go to the cupboard and fridge and point or say what she wants. She is becoming more and more independent every day and sometimes very stubborn (obviously, she gets this from Jody and not me!).

She got sick for the first time, with a virus, fever and blisters in her mouth, it took her about a week to get over it but is now back to 100%.

We had a trip to the zoo in Cincy, which was a ton of fun.

I have actaully started golfing quite a bit (which I am loving) and tonight Alex came on the course with us!

We have set up a little pool outside on the deck for her, along with a kid table, patio table for us and a nice 3 seater swing, which brings back many summer memories of when I was in England at my grandparents house! They had one and I used to spend hours on it. So Alex loves being outside in the pool and also blowing 'BUBBLES"!

Shoes and funny faces

Alex LOVES shoes, she tries mine on all the time and I had to take this picture!! The other pictures are just of her funny faces!!!! She is such a goof!!

Christmas with Santa

Update

I am so sorry that I have not given an update for so long. No excuses!! Alex is now walking, well actually running is the better word! She started walking just prior to her 1st birthday!! She has now also started talking, her first word was Dadda!! She can now say Mamma, Dav (for David), Dais (for Daisy, the cat), bye bye, ooshe (shoes), ilk (milk), no (nose) and ite (light), ice (water, I think-this is a new word in the past day), apprently today she said 'my diap' (diaper) and her favourite word is BALL, every thing that is round is ball!! She knows how to kiss and she is trying to blow kisses. She can point to her head, nose, mouth and ears. She goes up to bed every night and with a little help takers off her clothes and with no help puts them in the laundry hamper, graps her towel and heads to the bath!! I am trying to teach her early to clean! She loves reading and her favourite book is one that has pigs, horses, cows and chickens. She knows them all and she loves to kiss them all. It is amazing to me how much she understands and what she can actually do!
