First feeding!

.

.

Alex had her 4 month old visit to the doctor and had her vaccinations. She is now 14 pounds 12 ounces and 26 inches long. Way tall for a 4 month baby. Dr said that she was a little underweight for her height but nothing to worry about. Dr also wants her to start eating solids so here we go! So we started with rice cereal today and she did really good.

She actually opened her mouth to let the food go in but had issues with swallowing it. Baby and Mommy had been practicing with the spoons so it wasn't a complete surprise but I was expecting a lot more spitting and mess then there was. She did eventually get fussy, so we stopped.

Here is a video of her eating and about at the fussy stage. Sorry about the video going sideways at the end; I still have not figured out camera/video technology.

Hoppy Easter!

Yes, we got our 4 month old an easter basket. It basically had two books for baby and candy for Mom and Dad! Here are some more pictures of Alex's first easter.

The End! (bunny butt)

Baseball is back!

Alex and her Daddy watched her first Astros game! Andy is very excited to start watching the games with his girl. I made "sliders" for the grownups and a good time was had by all, except maybe the Astros (they lost).

Yummmy, mini hamburgers! Beautiful weather and cooking on the grill!

Alex talks!

I finally got it on camera! Please turn up the volume and enjoy the video of Alex "talking"

My child has gone bananas!

Alex is a creature of habit. She has to have things done the same or she has a complete meltdown. So when Daddy (who usually puts her to sleep) had very late softball games on Tuesday night and Mommy had to put her to sleep, she was NOT having it. She fought me the whole way and finally went to sleep at 11:30 at night, only 20 minutes before Daddy got home. Since then her sleeping has gone totally wonky. I am exhausted. I need a magical Mommy to come in and take over so I can have a nap! Just when you thought it was safe to sleep, she changes everything. Mwah mwah mwah hah!

Dancing with the stars!

Alexandra is pretty fascinated with the TV. She LOVES dancing with the stars. I don't know if it is the movement on the screen or the music or both. Maybe it is all the hot male dancers? Anyways, here is a pic of Alex and her daddy watching Lil Kim's awesome tango. Alex gave it a standing ovation!

Also I was accused by my husband of always posting sleepy pictures like this one.

How can you not think that is so stinking cute. Look at those lips. I might be biased. The reason that I only pick the sleepy ones is because when she is awake she is always moving and those pics always come out blurry (might be the operator of the camera) or she looks totally bored because it takes so long to take the picture (also fault of the picture taker). Here is an example of Alex just waiting for mommy to take picture.

Alex also has a new buddy. His name is Mortimer the Moose. She loves him and has secrets that she tells only him. Here is a picture of her with Morty (you can see his nose)
