Alex turned ONE today!!!

I can't believe my baby is ONE! Time flies so fast. Feels like Alex was just born. I can remember every stage of her life so far as if it were yesterday and I've loved them all. Many people warned me that the walking stage would be hard, but I love it so far. She is not into things anymore than when she crawled. Alex has gotten quite good at walking I must say...so much so that she can walk and drink from her sippy cup at the same time. Pretty impressive to me.

One Year Old Stats:
Weight: TBA (hope to go weigh her tomorrow)
Milestones Reached: walking, talking and repeating, dancing (is that a milestone..ha), cleaning (ok, maybe not fully, but she knows how to "put it back" sometimes, cooking (ok, maybe not physically, but she has watched me enough to know how to mentally I think...ha), throwing (sippy cup and balls of course), giving and blowing kisses, changing own diaper (just kidding), signing (does "all done" sign, but still working on eat, more, drink, milk, please, thank you), making animal sounds, surfing the net (ok, maybe accidentally as she pushes buttons), etc....
Teeth: Has 2 on mid bottom; top middle ones are on the verge of coming
Eyes: Stayed blue
Hair: getting lighter brown
Ticklish: Yes! in tons of places....neck, underarm, tummy, sides...
More stats to come...




Our sweet punkin at 2 weeks old... Oh, how she has grown!
Alex's first day at Mother's Day Out this Fall. She did great except when they tried to make her nap at a time that fell in between her normal naps. She gave them a workout and wouldn't nap on their schedule.
Her walk has become a run...j/k. Alex was so excited to chase another kid that she slipped. I don't think it slowed her down though as she caught the kid very quickly.
