Week Forty Nine

Week forty nine started off with Alexandra turning 11 months old on Sunday. It was a holiday weekend so we got to spend Monday with her too! I was fortunate to have a four day weekend, so also spent Friday with her.

Tuesday was quite a challenging night as Alexandra woke up every 1.5-2 hours crying and wanting cuddles. Mommy and daddy were quite tired Wednesday and we soon knew why - two new teeth that finally broke through on Wednesday! Alexandra now has a total of five teeth (3 upper and 2 lower). Thankfully she returned to sleeping through the night (most nights).

The weather had been warm and so we have been taking walks almost every afternoon. Alexandra loves the outdoors and even if she is fussy, she calms down as soon as we get outside. The upside is that it gives me a chance to exercise also. The one thing we have to work on for our walks is getting Alexandra to wear her sunglasses. She is very happy playing with ours and chewing on them, but takes hers off almost immediately.

Other favorites of Alexandra that have not been previously mentioned:

• Purses are fun to play with and chew on the straps.
• Door stoppers because when you hit them they vibrate.
• Daddy's closet has so many cool things to look at, including zip lock bags (which mommy and daddy insist she not chew on)!

Here are some photos from the week:
