Back in CT!

It's been a busy couple of weeks in the life of Alice as she made her first visits to Maine and Boston. We spent a week in Brunswick visiting family and then capped off our vacation by spending the weekend in Boston for Aunt Karen's baby shower.

Me and Alice - there is a hint of a smile there!

Alice continues to have new "firsts" every day. While in Maine she had her first boat ride out to the island. She was a trooper - her life jacket was nearly as big as she was but she handled the ride with great ease. While most of the pictures show an unhappy girl, she did calm down and enjoyed most of the ride!

Grandma Sue kept Alice a little happier on her return trip!

On the island Alice practiced her observation skills. She is becoming more and more alert everyday - her stare is impressive!

Alice made her first furry friend when she met Terra for the first time. While Alice couldn't actually play with Terra (much to Terra's disappointment), they had a good time getting acquainted with one another.

Terra was really optimistic that Alice would throw the ball for her !

Our trip to Boston was another great family occasion for Alice. While she did sleep through most of the baby shower, she had some great time with her cousin Isabel in the morning. Alice was a little bigger for their meeting this time and didn't look quite so small in comparison to her older cousin. She really seems to enjoy her time with Isabel, as it was one of the only ways to comfort her during her fussy moments.

Alice continues to grow at a rapid rate and we are just loving all of these new developments. She is starting to smile on a regular basis and we are really excited to see more of her happy face (and less of the fussy one!). She is an active little one and is keeping us on our toes as she grows!
