Firsts
A list of baby's firsts
- First roll was from her stomach to her back on (or about) April 15.
- First "solid" food was rice cereal. She still hates it, but she LOVES banana.
- First champagne was at Winnie's Bachelorette Lunch. She pulled the glass from Mommy.
- First tooth: bottom two on June 26 (sharp little razors!) We didn't know she was teething because she didn't drool or fuss any more than usual.
- First swim was in Wanaksink Lake on July 3. She loves playing in the water.
- First beer was at Grandma & Grandpa's annual 4th of July barbeque. She pulled the bottle from Athena.
- Starting consistently sitting unsupported around July 15.
- First wedding was Stephanie & David's on July 19. She even helped pick out the bride's gown during the Filene's Basement Running of the Brides in February.
- Baby pulled herself from sitting to standing using Mommy's fingers on July 27. She may walk before she crawls.

The Many Faces of Alexandra
Earlier this month, we visited family in NY. Auntie Carrie came over for a few hours and brought her camera. She captured Alexandra's many facial expressions perfectly. The only one missing is with her tongue hanging out. That's a constant face now that Alexandra has two teeth. Go baby go!

This Week in Baby's Life
Today Baby and I are spending a day together at home. She hasn't been feeling 100% due to upper respiratory congestion. I am quickly realizing how much of her life I miss when at work all day.
Baby is a babbler after eating and having a diaper change. No laughing, but lots of streaming noises. I think she's telling a story.
She sees the dogs and is very interested. Today she grabbed Indigo and wouldn't let go until he walked away. She had two fists full of fur.
She can't sit or crawl, but loves to stand (while being held up.)
Sitting on the couch in my lap isn't good enough. I must be standing up; moving not required.
She sees her toys and grabs them. She is fond of the elephant doll that is attached to the side of her crib.
She adores being outside looking at the trees.
For the most part, she is a very good sleeper. We can put her to bed around 8 and not hear from her again until 5 or 6. This week, though, she's been up around 1 because of the aforementioned congestion.
Her favorite way to fall asleep is on daddy's chest after finishing a bottle and he watches TV.
Feet and fingers fascinate.
She has dark blue eyes like her Uncle Dave.
She can fit her entire fist in her mouth. Her cousins tried imitating her, but the boys' teeth got in the way.
Baby knows that a bottle provides food. She reaches for it with her hands and opens her mouth wide (wider than when she breastfed.) She's starting to hold the bottle too (with assistance).
I have to wear my hair back all the time because little fingers like to pull. (Not much of a problem since I wear ponytails most days.)
A little someone might be getting ticklish on her feet and sides.
Right now, baby has one thumb in her mouth with the fingers wrapped around her nose and the other fist grabbing her foot.
I am amazed each and every day by this little 12 pound creature and how much she brightens my life and how much love my heart holds for her.

The most beautiful creature in the world
Things I'd like to remember.
Baby started rolling over on April 15. She doesn't do it consistently, but she can do it on her own.
On May 4, she reached for and grabbed her elephant for the first time. She pulled it on top of her, then switched it to her other hand. Until then she would hold objects that we placed in her hand.
Alexandra has yet to giggle, but she gets the biggest smile imaginable when she's happy to see someone.
Baby will be a talker like mommy and daddy. She coos and oohs and aahs, especially after waking up and finishing food.
We call her Lizard Girl and Monkey Toes. She flicks her tongue like a lizard when hungry and she can grab objects with her toes (just like mommy.)
And every night, I just want to stand over the crib and watch her sleep so peacefully.
