Memorial Day Memories

Little Miss Alexandria had quite the Memorial Day weekend! She started it off with a trip Aunt Christy's house to celebrate her birthday by the pool. This was Alexandria's first time in the pool and she took to it right away. Within no time at all she was moving her legs like a little frog and getting herself (in her starfish floaty blow up toy) from one place to the next! Mom and Dad figure this is just the beginning since she is an Arizona born baby! They are practically born with fins. After some fantastic fun in the sun she slept in well on Sunday and spent the day hanging with Mom and Dad. Then Aunt Heidi and her cousins came by for a visit. She always loves a visit from them! On Monday Mom and Dad took her out to ColdStone on Mill Ave. where she enjoyed the ice cream and bounced away to a live jazz show that was playing on the corner....boy did she get a kick out of that music. She struggled to a sitting position in her carseat and managed to get a good view of the live show.

Well its back to daycare tomorrow and everyone is sad to see the weekend go :( ! Can't wait for Fourth of July Weekend!

Back in Action!

Mommy is back from Costa Rica and she brought Alexandria, Aubrey, and Daddy some cool new things as souveniers. Mommy has also has been figuring out how to use her new camera since Daddy dropped the old one by accident! Last night Mommy and Daddy went out to a concert for Daddy's birthday. Alexandria was going to spend the night with Grandpa and Aubrey but Mommy and Daddy couldn't stand to leave her overnight so they went and picked her up! Alexandria has been having a blast and getting into all sorts of things now that she is crawling all over the place. Her hair is getting long, and tooth #2 is right behind tooth #1 so pretty soon she will have her own little set on the bottom gum line. She is still a baby, 8 months old, but growing up so quickly! She has also become even more curious and is figuring out all sorts of things Mommy and Daddy wouldn't even dream of! :)

My First Mother's Day

Yes, sad to say, Mommy will be in Costa Rica with Mima on Mother's Day 5/10/09. To improvise, and avoid the usual crowds, we all went to The Breakfast Club in Scottsdale to celebrate our Mother's Day together.
Alexandria had a fantastic time gnawing on pineapple and melon. She just sprouted her first tooth this weekend so she has been chewing on anything and is finally taking to the teethers. Along with the teeth she is also on the verge of crawling. She does do the army crawl, but prefers rolling to her destination since it seems to get her from point A to point B so quickly. She has also been rocking back and forth on all fours. She should be crawling any day now! Mom and Dad are a little nervous since more mobility also means more mischief.....but everyone is still excited to watch her grow, learn, and explore the vast world around her!!
