Alex went to the early swim and also the 11.00am swim. Here she is taking a nap during the 11.00am swim.



Besides the swims Alex stayed home for the rest of the day. She spent a lot of time in the basement trying to crawl. She is working at it and Dad thinks by the weekend she will figure it out. Here she is later in the evening trying it with Mum on the bed.



They played for a good 30mins and Alex enjoyed it.



Then after all of the activity of the day Alex slept like a Baby!

Sunday today and Alex stayed home all day until late in the afternoon when Mum asked her if she wanted to go for a walk to Walmart.


All strapped up in the buggy she was ready to go. She had her hat on because it was sunny out.



Alex worked up a good apatite and sat in her chair for some steamed and then cooled vegies. She fell asleep soon after that.

Alex and Mum had a good sleep in this morning whilst Dad road the computrainer with Sean. After that Mum got a quick run in before going to Kara's Baby shower with Carolyn and Kay. Dad looked after Alex for the day and she started it off playing on the bed.



Then for some fun in the new bounce chair.



It looked like Alex was doing a tap dance routine to get things bouncing around.



She spent quite a while in there and then took a nap upstairs and then went right back in after she woke up.



When Mum came home she got to sit in her high chair for dinner and ate sweet potato amongst other things.

Alex went to the early swim and then slept well before going to the 11.00am swim. She stayed home for teh rest of the day and waited for Mum to come home from work.


It was another Pre-season football game tonight and it was Mums team against Dads team so Alex was dressed for it.



Just before bed time Alex played in her new bounce swing.

Alex started the day off with a good breakfast. Oatmeal, Yogurt and some milk to wash it down.



She also liked to chew on the spoon making sure she ate everything.



She used both hands with the spoon too!



It took about 30mins but she got through most of the food and couldn't eat any more.



Later in the afternoon Alex went to Target with Mum and then whilst Mum was cooking dinner she played in the swival chair.



She looked over for a photo as Mum was still cooking dinner.

Alex woke up around 5.00am for the early morning swim and she was all smiles so early in the morning.



When she came home she slept really well right up to 10am in time to go to the next swim. After that she hung out upstairs on the bed and tried on a pair of shoes for the first time.



Mum had to go back to work and then at about the same time she fell asleep playing in her colourfull play area.



When she woke up she went right back to playing with things.



She played for quite a while!



Here are a few more photo's of her playing.



And another!



And then a close up to check if she was having fun.



After all that playing she took a break to drink some milk. She also had carrots for dinner out of the high chair.

After waking up at about 8am Alex ate and then took another nap until 9.30am. Once she was wide awake Dad took her to the post office in the jog stroller. She still looks small in the stroller but she is comfortable.



Because it was so warm out on the run to the PO Alex had a nice shower to cool down and clean up for the day. She likes to wriggle around in her towel to get dry.



Lately as soon as Alex lays on her back she rolls over to her stomach. Only occasionally though can she make it back to her back. Here she is trying to figure out how to roll back.



Late afternoon Dad took Alex down to the mail box to get the mail. It was hot and sunny out so Alex had a nice hat on to shade her eyes.

Alex woke up at 5.00am and got to go to the early swim. Here she is ready in her seat for the 3min journey to the pool.



Dad thought it was time to dress Alex in pink so he did and got a photo of it.


Later in the day Alex and Dad went to the basement to mess around with a couple of new Fuji Frames that arrived the other day. Alex likes the look of Mums.



Whilst we were in the basemant Dad set up the bowling lane that Kara so kindly bought as a birthday present!



Alex couldn't quite get the hang of it so maybe in a few months we'll give it another try.

Football season is only a couple of weeks away and it looks like Alex has to decide which team she wants to side with. Mum likes the Redskins, Dad the Patriots and it looks like Poppie likes who ever Brett Farve plays for!



Early in the Day Alex got to listen to "chocolate Baby" on You Tube (that's what Meme calls Bebe Lilly).



They watched it together for quite a while.



At about 11.30am Poppie and Meme had to head home to Greencastle PA (8-9hr drive). There was a few photo's taken just before they left.



Another in the kitchen with Meme.



And then out by the car there was last goodbye until next visit.



Later in the afternoon Mum sat with Alex on the Balcony where it was nice and warm.

Saturday, August 22, 2009

Alex had a good sleep in this morning and had penty of energy all day. Here she is having fun with Poppie in the captains chair.



Later in the afternoon Alex went to the Mall with Mum and Meme and took a nap whilst they were in and out of the shops.



She didn't sleep the whole time though as she turned to see who was pushing the buggy.



Outside after the shopping Alex was waiting for Dad and Poppie to get a ride home.



Back at home Alex watched a few more video's on You Tube before going out for dinner to Jamie's restaurant.
