Go RED SOX!

Alice thought the Red Sox could use some extra support against the Yankees. Here she is cheering on the Sox for this afternoon's game! (check out those booties!)

Spiky!

Alice woke up this morning with spiky hair! Very cute. She had a doctor's appointment yesterday and was 11lbs 10 oz. She had a couple of shots but was a real trooper. Cried but was quickly consoled. She is sleeping better and more consistently which we love! We are excited to get back up to Maine this weekend where she'll have time with two of her great grandmothers and all four grandparents. Should be lots of fun for the little one!

Alice was so excited to get a visit from her Aunt Kristi. She was full of smiles the whole time! In fact, she had her best night of sleep - 6 straight hours and then 3 more on top of that. We are negotiating with Kristi for an extended stay but unfortunately it doesn't look like it's going to happen!



Here are some pictures Aunt Kristi took of Alice. The one on the left shows her "dancing" in her bouncy seat. On the right we have a BIG stretch!

A Beautiful Day

Here are a few pictures of Alice in the backyard from today. It's a beautiful day here in CT -verging on too warm but finally much less humid. We took advantage of the good weather by getting outside which is remarkably hard to do these days. Alice loves to look at her surroundings - especially outside! She is quite comfortable laying on her "Trinity Quilt" - a gift from her Bantam buddies!
Always taking note of her surroundings - she's quite an inquisitive girl!
Mom insisted this last one be taken although Alice does not love to have things on her head. There were several takes of this shot and by the end she was not very happy with her mother!

Too good to be true...

Alice was up to her old tricks last night. Had a nice long stretch of being awake between 1-4 and now she's sleeping the day away! Visiting the pediatrician tomorrow so we are hopeful that she can give us some tricks to get little Alice on track and sleeping on a more sane schedule. She's still pretty cute, though!

Below is a funny picture of Alice as she begins to experiment with her voice. She is trying to 'talk' more and more each day. It's very cute!

Sleep...FINALLY!

Alice gave us a nice break last night and only got up once during the night. It was quite a change from the previous week's sleep schedule and we are really hoping the trend continues...!

Gotta love the weekend!

Alice is loving her Saturday morning!
