Busy Weekend

We had a busy weekend in CT! Wes and Racheal stayed with us on Friday night before helping a friend move on Saturday morning. We were so excited to have visitors and Alice loved the chance to hang out with them. It was a short visit but it's always nice to have family around! More visitors, please!
Here is Alice in her new car seat. It makes her look tiny but we love it! Right now it serves as another way to keep her occupied when she's being fussy but soon it will make it's way to the car!
Lastly, here is a picture from this morning. She was a happy girl on her way to daycare! It's been a tough first week with practice. Reeves has been on Alice duty most of the time, especially over the weekend when we had double session practices! So far, things seem to be working out!
Have a good week, everyone!

YAY!

Alice is thrilled because she has two new cousins! Ryan and Lauren Livesay were born at 9:13 am and 9:14 am yesterday morning. Ryan arrived first weighing 5lbs 15oz and Lauren was a minute behind weighing 5lbs 11oz. We can't wait to meet them!

The many faces of Alice!

So Alice has gotten into the habit of making the most ridiculous faces for the camera. Once the light hits her eyes she goes into total character mode. Below are some of her funny faces from our snow day at home yesterday. She is hysterical...
You can almost see those bottom teeth!

She chews on every toy that she can fit in her mouth!
She absolutely loves to chat. She is constantly talking to herself and her friends at daycare. Here I caught her in mid-chat. If only we knew what she was saying...

Alice hasn't figured out what to do with this toy yet. She just hangs on for as long as she can...

Could she be any weirder?Umm...how ridiculous is she??? This is my favorite picture!! She is holding on for dear life!

Had to snap a few shots in the so-called "blizzard." This makes it look legitimate. It wasn't.

From this morning! A happy, rested girl. She is sleeping like a champ these days. We are loving it!

Hi Everyone! Alice is enjoying being 8 months old (so hard to believe)! She has had an eventful month. She has her first tooth and is in the process of getting a second. We know this because we can see the teeth, but it's also effecting her sleep and mood!! I picked her up early from daycare yesterday because she was feeling very sensitive and wanted her mommy! Those teeth are nasty things when they are coming in!
Alice is continuing to grow and is now in 12 month clothes!! She is really getting heavy which I took definite note of as I held her for an hour long meeting yesterday. She loves to play with the balls in the picture above. They are just right for her size hands and big enough that we don't have to worry about them going into her mouth. There are four in total and it's really neat to watch her figure out that she needs to drop one in order to pick up another.
She loves her new striped sweater! Thank you Aunt Kristi!! We were surprised that it fit so well when we finally tried it on this weekend. That seems to be a common theme.
We had a great weekend with Grandpa Chris and Grandma Sue. Alice loved having her grandparents around to entertain her. She really showed off when it was time to have her bath on Saturday night. I think I was almost completely soaked through after all her splashing around. She certainly loves her bath time!
Alice has also started going to daycare 5 days a week which I was really dreading. She had a great time and I lived through it! In fact, she had so much fun that she didn't want to leave on Friday when I picked her up. The older girls were dancing to LaBamba and Alice starting jumping and laughing too! It was adorable!! She is so much fun!

This is our last weekend before the season starts. The next challenge awaits! Have a great week everyone!
