I love matching dresses!

Its Been Awhile + Weekly Photos

Sorry I have not written in forever. Does anybody even read this anymore? We were really busy in March with the play, moving to a new house, we did not have internet for three weeks, plus some birthdays, Easter, and some small trips. We've been busy!

Well, I'm back so expect some more frequent posting!

Here are all the Weekly Photos that have added up over the last two months:

The Weekly Photo

Man, late again. I've really neglected this little blog and I probably don't have many readers anymore. My computer is so slow and probably needs to be cleaned up so I have not felt much like getting on the computer and pretending like its 1999. Here are two pictures:

Alice makes this face on purpose to entertain us all. She is a silly one!

10 Months

When Elanor turned 10 months I did a post listing 10 things about her and I like that idea so I'm doing it again!

Here are 10 things about Alice:

1. She gets sick often. She spent a lot of this past month sick, with a period of time where she was very sick and sleeping all day.

2. Once she was better, Alice seems to be on a fast forward mode to learn everything she missed by being so sick. She is crawling around, getting into things, pulling herself up, and walking along furniture.

3. Alice is plenty talkative at home, but once in public she gets very quiet.

4. She likes to make goofy smiling faces.

5. Her favorite thing to do is play peekaboo.

6. Alice has started to really love looking at books/be read to. Some favorites are Goodnight Moon, The Very Hungry Caterpillar and The Big Red Barn.

7. She loves to give kisses and gives them liberally.

8. Alice has started to love to be anywhere Elanor is and follows her around and tries to look at books, play with legos, etc., but mostly just gets in the way. 

9. Alice is still quite small and seems quite a bit smaller and shorter than Elanor was at 10 months.

10. Alice still loves to eat, but also does not yet have any teeth! Elanor got her 1st at 9 months and by 10 months already had 2 or 3. She does not even appear to be teething in any way.

9 Months

Well, she was on New Year's Eve. She is almost 10 months at this point! 

Alice finally had a Doctor's appointment as we finally got all the insurance stuff figured out. She was 16.5 pounds (5-10th%) and 27 inches (20th%). 

 Alice is a very smiley girl, around people she is comfortable with at least. She was very serious at the doctors. 

 She loves to kiss and will do so upon request. Open mouth baby kisses are the sweetest. Cedric (her cousin), was here for a few weeks in December and she absolutely loved him and kissed him any chance she got!

Alice still loves to eat and is not picky at all. She says, "Num!" now, which is very cute.

Here is another video of Elanor and Alice. Elanor loves to play with Alice, and Alice is so good at just doing whatever and not getting upset. She really loves Elanor.

These two videos are basically what Alice is like: affectionate and loving and patient and smiley. She does occasionally let you know when she is frustrated though, with a loud shriek.

Some notable moments that happened in her 9th month:

Met Santa and absolutely loved him.

Played with cousin Cedric a lot, met Uncle Ricky (had already met Aunt Jessie before).

Met her Aunt Allison for the first time!

Her 1st Christmas! She loved the wrapping paper and understood that fun things were wrapped up inside.

Got sick at some point, as per usual for her.

Crawling, crawling, crawling.

We love this sweet baby!

I have pretty much been the worst blogger ever. I missed Elanor's birthday, all of the Christmas season, Alice's 9 month update (though I will still do that), and a bunch of Weekly Photos. Ugh. Life. I've been busy and living and enjoying life, so I suppose that is as good an excuse as I have.

 Elanor, Tyler and Alice have been sick all week. This was her at the beginning of the sickness. It has just gotten worse, so we are off to the doctor tomorrow. Poor little girl.
