Ok, it has been a while since I have blogged but a lot has been going on! Alex is walking!!! She is a terror on wheels. October has been busy, busy. Alex had her baptism, her first "parents night out" and has been talking/crawling/walking up a storm. Alex started really crawling the last week of August and now has been walking since October 10th. I didn't get enough time to prepare!! I have stuff all over the house that can hurt babies! So it has been a mad dash to put everything up and get everything organized into NO areas and YES areas. Alex really understands the difference and we use furniture to block off areas to make a playroom. It seems that the more I put up, the more I see that needs to be put up.
Alex was baptised on October 11th and she did great! I was worried about her screaming/crying/throwing a fit in church but she did sooooo good. Andy wanted to hold her during the baptism (and all the time) and when the pastor put the water on her head she didn't even squirm. Not the case when I am trying to wash her hair. It was a great day and she was pooped after playing with all her friends/cousins.
The Friday before her baptism, the church had a parents night out that Alex attended. They would watch Alex from 6 - 11pm for the evening and we took advantage of it (at least from 7-10). When we dropped her off she was elated to be at school at night and when we picked her up she was elated to be at school at night! The teachers said she was just going going going all night. We walked into the nursery and the lights were off and all the kids were sleeping except for Alex who was blabbering away to the teachers, standing in her crib. She talked all the way home and then just passed out as soon as we got home.
So not only is she walking but dancing as well. She loves the beginning of Yo Gabba Gabba and in this video you can see a little of what she does (she toned it down some because of the camera)
