Eating her book!

Here is a short clip of Alice attacking her krinkly book. She gets pretty aggressive with it!

Alice and Lola

Alice and Lola had a great time getting to know eachother. Alice loved Lola - especially rolling on to her!

Sunday Morning Fun!

Here are some pictures of Alice this morning. She was her typical fiesty self - kicking off her slippers and blanket before passing out. Here is a sequence of her activity...

Playing on her mat with her new bunny slippers on!
Now in her bouncey, having successfully kicked off one slipper - looking very pleased with herself!
MISCHIEVOUS FEET!!
Ahhh...SUCCESS!! No more slippers!
HAPPY FEET!!
Still plotting...
And...tah dah! Who needs blankets and slippers, anyway?
I sure showed them who's boss!
Jeez, that was exhausting!

Alice had a great week! She is getting much more comfortable at daycare which is such a relief!! Here are a few shots of Alice with Lola McCurdy from a lunch date on Tuesday. They both had on monogrammed clothes! So cute!

What a weekend!

Alice had a great time this weekend! The fun all began on Friday afternoon when she had a lunch date with Ryan McPhee. We met up with Julia and Ryan at First and Last so that the two love birds could spend some more time together. Alice doesn't quite know what dating is all about as she slept for most of the date. She did perk up a little towards the end and flashed a few cute smiles Ryan's way!



Just a few hours later we greeted our guests for the evening. We were lucky enough to host both Grandma Ali and Grandma Net along with Cooper, Isabel, Jenn and Grandma Carolyn. Alice was SO excited! While she didn't totally perk up until the following day she did have fun playing with her Aunt Jenn and her two cousins.

Saturday morning we were all up bright and early getting ready to head down to Rockaway for cousin Eva's christening. Alice was in great spirits from the start of the day, enjoying some early morning time with her great grandmothers. By the time we were able to organize the troops it was 8:30, which gave us an 11am arrival in Rockaway.

Awaiting us in Rockaway was Uncle Chan, Aunt Karen, Eva, Aunt Kristi and Uncle Peter! We had a warm welcome from the Mullens and quickly readied the little ones for a walk since it was such a beautiful day. With Cooper, Alice and Isabel in tow we went for a very pleasant walk to the local deli and pastry shop. When we returned from our walk Grandpa Ken and Uncle Josh had arrived! Alice was in heaven with so much family around to entertain her.

Eva's christening was just beautiful. Eva looked like a little angel! Alice and I were having such a good time at Eva's party that we extended our departure time by an hour but finally had to hit the road around 4:30pm. We arrived home and had dinner with Dad!

Alice and the Trinity Bantam!

Ryan with his Dad, Andy!

Sunday was awesome! The weather could not have been nicer. We had a wonderful walk in the morning and then Alice and I headed into Trinity to cheer on the field hockey team in the conference championship game! While we were excited to see the game we also enjoyed the socializing as we ran into Cam Cataruzolo and Ryan McPhee with both of their parents. We snapped some great pictures of the little ones and the Trinity Bantam even posed for a few pictures with the baby bants! While Trinity didn't come out on top, it was a well played game and very exciting for the spectators.

Cam with his Dad, Dave!

Al tuckered girl after all the fun and excitement!

Alice Rolling...

And She's Rolling...

Good Morning! Alice and I are enjoying our one day at home this week! I'm having some coffee and Alice is rolling all over the place! She rolled from tummy to back last week for the first time but it seemed like a fluke so there wasn't much cause for reporting. Well, I take it back...she knows just what she's doing and has already rolled from tummy to back 3 times today! I actually caught the last one on film so I'll try to upload that later today. Very exciting. With her new giggling she's really reaching some exciting benchmarks these days!
We had a wonderful visit from Grandma Sue this weekend. Sue took over our curtain project for the sunroom and delivered the first installment this weekend. They are spectacular! I snapped a few photos during the installation process. We are so excited about these curtains. We had been talking about doing them ourselves for quite some time and then Sue had the good sense to take them out of our hands if there was any hope of them getting done correctly! They are just perfect and we are so grateful!

Alice has been quite the sports fan these days. She's been to nearly all of her father's home games and recently saw the field hockey team play two games on Friday and Sunday. She met her friend Cam Cataruzolo who is just 2 weeks older than her! We are hoping for some more play dates in the future for these two! With the weather getting more chilly, her pink patagonia suit from Uncle Chan and Aunt Karen has been very handy!


Alice and I are really looking forward to having a few visitors on Friday night and then traveling to Rockaway for Eva's christening on Saturday. Should be a great weekend of family fun!

Hi Everyone!! This will be a short report of Alice. She is doing well and staying healthy! She has started going to daycare three days/week now. We are seriously hoping that this extra day helps her feel more comfortable and familiar while she's there. It's a little frustrating that she seems to be fairly fussy while at daycare since she's so smiley and content at home. We think with a little more time she'll learn to feel more relaxed there.
I'll post more pictures later today but thought you'd like to see our little pumpkin with her Daddy!
