big week



Alex had a week full of exciting firsts:
1. She climbed the stairs--all of them (usually she just does 1 or 2 and then stops)
2. Started putting toys in things instead of pulling them out
3. Tried putting food on a spoon and in her mouth. She laid the spoon flat on the tray, put a piece of pancake on it, and attempted to pick the spoon up and put it in her mouth.
4. Is getting good at communicating her wants--she crawled and got a shoe and crawled back to me. She tried putting the shoe on herself and then looked at me and handed me the shoe and looked back at her foot--asking me to put it on.

party!

There once was this sweet lovely girl
Whose party was outta this world!
Cupcakes and heat,
Bean burgers, no meat...
And family more cherished than pearls.

one!



Happy birthday to our beautiful girl! It has been an amazing year.

The day started with birthday pancakes...



which quickly ended up birthday pancakes for Lacey (our baby girl preferred her usual black beans).



We then visited dad at his new job for lunch and ran errands to prepare for her party this weekend! Of course we got in our playtime and evening snuggles.
