10 Months Old

Today Alexandra is 10 months old!

This morning we watched the snow fall together and she was trying to catch the snow flakes. She had her 1st Thanksgiving at her grandma and grandpa Wasoka's house. She got to play with her second cousin from Ohio who is a few weeks younger than her. Her big cousin was also there who she loves to play with. She loved feeding her. I had to keep reminding her that Alex wasn't a doll.

Alex is starting to ask for me when she wants to be picked up and hearing her call for me is the best feeling in the world! Not sure if this was a coincidence or she is really smart but she was playing with her bear toy and I asked her where the bears nose was. I pointed to my nose and she showed me the bears nose! Of course no one was around to see it.

I'm sad the long weekend is over and I have to go back to work. I've been thinking of ways to get a job where I can be home more with her. It's never enough and the days go by to fast! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Play Date With Grayden - 1st Boyfriend

1st play date


Since Alexandra was a week old she has been having many play dates with her friend Grayden. Grayden is a few months older than her and now they are starting to bond more. They are now sharing snacks and toys together. Except for Tiger... Alex doesn't like to part with her favorite toy and Grayden snatched it from her and tears were on the verge. But, they are learning to play together and it's so fun to watch! There was always a noticeable age difference but now it's getting smaller. Alexandra needs to learn to walk to catch up to Grayden. Both their personalities are so much a like they are the two happiest smiley babies that I know....oh and the cutest of course! Play dates are also mommy time which I like too. Looking forward to next play date!!

Visiting Grandpa in Vermont

FAMILY

We don't get to go to Vermont often but when we do it's always nice quality time with grandpa :) Alexandra went on a hike and saw snow falling for the 1st time! She didn't really pay much attention to the snow falling like she did when she saw the horses! We have now realized that she refers every animal to our dog's name. So the horses are Dexter too.

It's a lot of fun to see Grandpa play with her like he use to play with me and my sister when we were little. Lots of peekaboos ... and she cracks up! Grandpa made a yummy home made chicken soup that we had to wait all day for...Grandpa forgot it takes longer in the crockpot. lol.

Looking forward to our next visit!
