Eleven Months

Hello Loyal Readers,

Can you believe I am 11 months old! This has been a busy month for me. I celebrated my first Valentine's

Day just the other day, learned how to stand on my own and learned some new sounds.

Standing on my own is so much fun. I can do it for about 20 seconds before I fall down and I am so proud of myself! Everyone thinks I will be walking very soon. Another thing that I have started to do is kiss. Its not very obvious, but sometimes I will get close to mommy's arm with my lips. I even kissed my image on the phone!

I celebrated my 11th month in Redondo Beach! My Uncle Alex was visiting from Hong Kong and it was fun to see him again. I also got to spend time with my Grandma Sara, Grantie Lorel and Great Uncle David. Then we came home and went to dinner with Grandma Janet, so it was a great weekend! Plus, mommy spent four days straight with me!

Since this update is already a day behind, I will hurry this up. Here are some of my current likes and dislikes.

Likes:

• Stuffed animals are my favorite! I love to hug them. My favorite right now is the zebra that mommy got me for Christmas. I even take it with me on walks sometimes.
• I still love walks and with the warm weather have gotten several of them lately. 
• Yogurt, both strawberry and peach! I have some every day and it is so good! I also like yogurt juice.
• Electronics - anything and everything! I get so excited with cameras, phones, computers, etc. Mommy says my Twitter handle should be @techiebaby. Maybe she should see if it is available?
• Blankets! They are so much fun to cuddle with. I am not allowed to sleep with one at night, but I take naps on mommy or daddy's lap with a nice blanket.
• Mommy and Grandma Janet have been teaching me the word touchdown. Now when I put my hands in the air, they say touchdown and that makes me laugh.
• Funny words make me laugh too. I like "oopsie." That is a good one!

Dislikes:

• I still complain when mommy tries to clean my face after eating. 
• Sometimes I cry when mommy changes my clothes!
• Table food - I couldn't care less about these silly cheerios they put in front of me. And baked potatoes are awful! I like my purees thank you. The only exception is my arrowroot cookies. Those are pretty good.

Mommy wants me to tell you she is sorry that she has not been able to update the blog lately, but has added some photos from each week that was missing. Now that I am crawling she does have to spend more time chasing after me and I don't really let her near the computer so please forgive her.

That is all for now. I will see you in March for my 1st birthday!!

Love,
Alexandra

Week Forty Eight

Alexandra celebrated her first Valentine's Day this week. It was the last of her 1st holidays. It has been fun to share and document her 1st holidays over the past year.

Week Forty Seven

What a week! It started off with watching the Super Bowl. Alexandra did wear orange since her Colorado family members love the Broncos, but thought her toys were far more interesting than the game. Sadly, I would have to agree! Magazines are so much fun to play with and tear apart!

A major milestone occurred this week as Alexandra stood on her own for the first time!

Alexandra attended her friend Taylor's 1st birthday party and then visited with Grandma Sara, Grantie Lorel and Great Uncle David in Orange County. Grandma Sara had just returned from 3 weeks in Asia!

Week Forty Six

We took lots of walks this week. Alexandra loves the zebra she got for Christmas! She also thought it would be fun to help mommy work on her tablet. This little girl loves anything electronic!

Week Forty Five

This week we spent some time in Redondo Beach visiting Grandma Sara at her new house. It is right near the beach!

Week Forty Four

I am way behind in blogging so I don't really remember all that happened during week forty four. But since I am good about taking photos, I can at least share those.

Alexandra got the blue outfit from her Aunt Sarah and Uncle Bob for Christmas, she has become very good at clapping, loves her stuffed animals and her activity cube, thinks its fun to pull out wipes and does not like to be left alone in the crib for very long.
