About Alexandra: Alexandra is getting good at tummy time. As you can see in one of the photos below, she really has good head control and can lift her head quite far off the ground during tummy time. She has yet to roll over from tummy to back, but I am sure that will come soon.
I continue to be amazed by what a good sleeper she is. A typical night's sleep is 8-9 hours. She has gone as long as 11 once when she was very tired. Most nights she goes for a walk with us around 7:30, gets a bottle and then is swaddled and put in bed. She does not always go right to sleep, but knows the routine and rarely complains. She might lie quietly for awhile before she falls asleep. A few times a week (or every night when with Grandma Sara), she also has a bath before bed time.
She smiles all the time, but I rarely can catch one on film. I did take a couple of cute photos during one of our walks, and caught a nice smile on camera. I also love how she folds her hands. She does that all the time when eating and people comment on how polite it makes her look!
What's New: Alexandra likes to do what I call "lap surfing" - or standing (with someone's help of course) on our laps. She has strong legs so I know it will only be a matter of months before she is standing without our help. I can't believe how fast she is growing.
Visitors: Alexandra got to spend lots of time with her Grandma Sara over the weekend when we were in Phoenix. She really enjoyed sleeping in her arms!
Her grandpa made a surprise visit to stay with us for a few days in California as we needed his help repairing a water leak. When he was not busy working on the house, he was feeding Alexandra, singing to her, telling stories and helping her "lap surf." We went to dinner at Miguel's and he took her over to the duck pond to show her the ducks. She loved all the attention from him and next time even hopes he will change a diaper. Hey, a girl can dream can't she?
Grandma Janet also came over to help out while mommy had errands to run, including a much needed massage. Grandpa Stacy made sure she changed the diaper whenever she was available!
In May, Alexandra had visited mommy's school, but slept through the experience. On Friday, she had a chance to redeem herself when mommy had a US History Team meeting. She was wide awake and such a good girl! Most of the office ladies had a chance to see her again and interact with her. She also met two of mommy's fellow teachers: Nat and Darren.
