Parade





This morning we took the kids to the parade in Elmira! Grace had a blast watching all the floats and characters go by! Alex didn't care much about the parade though...maybe next year!










Baby Cereal


Today Alex had his first solid food, baby rice cereal! The first spoonful he wasn't to sure of it. But then on the second spoonful he decided he loved it!



Alex is wondering when he gets more!!

Painting...

When we first moved into this house a year and a half ago we had a ton of ambition, we took wallpaper down and painted the kitchen, dining room, living room, dowstairs bathroom, Grace's room, and Alexander's room. Well Sunday ended that break and we are back at it! We painted the upstairs hallway, the stairway, and the front enterance....I think after this project we'll take another break before we do the kids playroom, our bedroom, and the biggest project of them all.........the upstairs bathroom.

As you can see, Alexander is ready for this project to be over with!

Stairway


Hallway




My VERY messy living room. Everything has a fine layer of dust on it from Sam sawing and sanding the baseboard and door casing.



In this picture you'll notice Grace trying to suck her fingers on her right hand! This is a big deal to us, because just in the last couple months she has began to realize that she has a right arm and hand and is starting to explore with it.

Grace and Alex


Grace wondering if Physical Therapy is almost over for the day...
Grace trying to get Buddy's attention while he's stretching.

Grace is getting frustrated with Benny because he won't come when she is calling him....I don't blame him though, he's already been a good sport today and got his ears pulled many many times.



Buddy keeping warm on this cold day....burr!

4 Month check Up


We took Alex to his 4 month check up today! He weighed in at 17lbs 11oz and is 26inches long! Alex got 3 shots, and he was a brave little man...he didn't cry! So far we've been lucky, neither Grace or Alex has ever cried when they get shots!

Pig Tails!

I have been saying since Grace was born that I couldn't wait to put Pig Tails in her hair. Well...today was the day and she looked so cute!

Grace is just hanging out here after a long day trip to Rochester. We had an Orthopedic appointment for Alex, Neurology appointment for Grace, and I had an appointment as well. We also were able to meet up with Trisha and Krystle for lunch at the Cheesecake Factory! Thanks Grandma Hall for going with us for the day! We appreciate it!
