Back in action

Gosh...it's been over a week since I've been able to get on the blog! Wow...

My laptop finally decided to give out on me at the end of last week. I wasn't able to get my new replacement until yesterday afternoon. I have notes on alot of things that I "would have" posted about so stick with me and I'll catch you up on some of the Alexander News. Let's start with....

AUBREY!!
She's rolling over now! On Tuesday (Oct 28), the day after she turned 5 months she rolled over from her back to her belly. And now that she's got it figured out, she's a mad woman about it! This video was taken yesterday.


I wish I could say that she's sleeping through the night, but we're nowhere near that accomplishment yet. Aubrey still wakes up every couple of hours. Today I bought a white noise/sound machine at Linen's N Things with the hopes that it will help her stay asleep. I'm sure we'll have to experiment to find the perfect sound/volume combo.

SOPHIA
Sophia has a cold. She has a runny nose and a bit of a cough that you can hear it in this video. She's acting completely fine.


She dressed up in her kitty cat costume for school today (you will find her dressed all in black with pink fringe in the center of the photo). Will and I dropped her off together this morning and stayed for the Halloween Parade. Only the 2 and 3 year old classes dressed up, but the older kids also joined in the fun and basically sang the songs for the little ones. Well Sophia does look like she's singing the last few words of the last song in the last video:

I'm a Little Pumpkin followed by Bats and Spiders

Trick or Treating

Here are the pictures.

ELMO
I took the girls to the WoW Botanical Garden this week for a special visit from Elmo. Sophia was beside herself and literally ran up to him when he walked into the park. She hugged him twice. Take a look at all of the photos. Elmo planted a sunflower with all the kids and then he rode the tram back to the Visitor's Center. I collapsed our stroller and we hopped on the tram to ride back with Elmo.

Sophia and I are headed back to the Garden on Saturday morning for their children's program called Teddy Bear Tea.

Check out this Elmo video. Listen to Sophia - she's the very first kid to talk after Elmo dances. It's soooo cute.
