Feeling a little better about the birds

Vastly improved walking!

What a difference four days make!! The video is also available on YouTube...click here.

Walking!!!

It's so much fun to see her walking...trying so hard, falling, getting back up, and trying again. At the end of the video, Alex does her "frankenbaby" imitation, and walks really well...funny!

12 month doctor visit!

Alex has new height and weight numbers...

She is now 30.5 inches, which puts her right at the 90th percentile.

She weighs 22 pounds, which puts her between the 50th and 75th percentiles.

Party time II

A video and one more pic from Friday's celebration!

Dad's jealous of my new Elmo plane!

Everyone singing Happy Birthday to Alex, and Alex tearing into her cake!

Party time!

Some pics of Alex eating her cake and playing with some of her presents...

Taking a ride in her new wagon with cousins Elizabeth and David

Sweet balloons!

Hey, somebody gonna blow out that candle?

ONE!

Wow! To say that Alex turning one year old is hard to believe would be a gross understatement! We have truly been blessed with an amazing little girl!

These pictures are from a couple of days ago, of Alex riding her new birthday tricycle.

Trying out the bell

I thought I wasn't supposed to play in the street!

First steps!

Alex is now starting to take a few steps at a time before falling. It started around August 31, and she is getting really good at standing in place. We're going to try to get this on video soon!

Caption this!

"No, the french fries were supposed to come here!"
