Month Seven!

Month seven, Alex started pushing up to her hands and knees!

She also started sitting unassisted for a couple of seconds before tipping over!

She also started holding her own sippy cup!
and Daddy started "crawling lessons!"

Seven Months Old!

Month Six!

Month 6 was another busy one with Christmas! We actually got to celebrate Christmas 5 times! Alex continued to make her way through new foods, loving each one along the way!

Month Five!

Month five was a busy one! A trip to Dallas, Grandma, Grandpa and Gram P visiting for Thanksgiving, a trip to Mineola and first foods!

We made a trip to Dallas to see family and friends. While we were there we got a chance to see Amy and Sylvia!

A few days later, Josh's family came down for Thanksgiving...

Then we headed to my parents to see my sister, Laith, Hud and Izzy who were in town from California!

The weekend after Thanksgiving, we decorated the Christmas tree and put out all of the Christmas decorations!

Somewhere during that month, Alex tried solids for the first time and we found a bottle solution! We skipped the bottle all together and went straight to the sippy cup! AND, she rolled over for the first time!

Five Months Old!!

Month Four!

Month 4 was a wild one...we began our battle of the bottle. There were many tears shed, from me and Alex.

Month One!

Our sweet baby girl decided it sounded like much more fun on the outside than the inside, so on July 9th (33 days before her due date) around 3am she decided it was time to get the party started! Our beautiful daughter made her grand entrance on July 9, 2008 at 3:44pm. At 5 pounds, 12 ounces and 19.5 inches long, she was a tiny little thing!

Our family was now complete!
She spent 4 long days in the hospital, but on July 13th, we got to bring our baby girl home to meet her big furry brother, Cooper!
From her first day home, she slept each night in her crib.

It's hard to remember her being this tiny!

Month 1 was just surreal. Since she made an early appearance, we weren't 100% ready for her, but our family and friends were here to pick up the last few things we needed! I think we spent the entire month just looking at her.

In August, we got some very special visitors. Ito and Ita (my grandparents) came down for a couple of hours to meet their great granddaughter.

The first month was filled with lots of sleeping, eating, snuggling and sleeping some more! We also had a few doctors appointments to check jaundice levels. The jaundice finally cleared and everything was great!!!

One Month Old! (2 days before her actual due date!)
