Week Twenty Eight

This week flew by and I just realized that it is time to update the blog again. Daddy has been on the east coast all week and got home tonight. He was delayed almost 4 hours due to bad weather so we are very, very happy he is home safe and sound.

Alexandra is already half way to 7 months and her personality is shining through so much these days. She loves to smile and to talk. Marivel (her nanny) tells me that she is quite the chatter box on their daily walks. She loves the walks and got 4 yesterday - three with Marivel and 1 with me. One of those walks involved seeing Grandma Janet's new home which is walking distance. Every morning, Marivel takes Alexandra on a walk down the street as she walks her son to school. On Friday, it was parent day to join their kids for lunch so Alexandra went with Marivel. Her son, Dylan, got so excited one day this week when Alexandra smiled at him. It made his day! I think Alexandra will be sad when the weather turns colder and it gets dark earlier because she won't get as much time outdoors. Thankfully we live in Southern California so there will be plenty of warmer days with sunshine interspersed throughout the fall and winter.

My mom and I watched The Voice this week with Alexandra and she was very interested in it. At one point she even started babbling like she was trying to sing herself. I remember last year when I was pregnant how she would kick when The Voice was on. We really think that she is musically inclined. She loves everything that we give her that has music.She also seems very interested in watching football on TV.

Alexandra is such a happy baby. She is almost always in a good mood, unless of course she is tired, wet or hungry. But she will go shopping with us, out to dinner and on all kinds of other adventures and rarely fuss. We are so fortunate.

Marivel made an awesome taggie blanket for Alexandra out of some of her 0-3 month clothes. It is so cool and Alexandra loves it! I am thinking about setting aside some of her 3-6 month clothes and maybe even 6-9 once we get there and having Marivel make something with those as well. Here are some pictures:

I guess that is all for now. I know very soon it will be Saturday again and time to write the week 29 blog update, so for now I will leave you with some more fun photos from this week:
