Month Nine!

Alex was into EVERYTHING during month nine. She was taking full advantage of her crawling abilities!

We went to the lake house with some friends and she got to play with their pug. The girl LOVES dogs!

Especially her brother dog, Cooper!

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.
