Changes

Several people noticed Jack's recent haircut, so I thought I would point out some changes in Alice, too. Above is the day she turned four months old, not long after we moved.

I feel a little bad that so many of Alice's pictures are in her stroller. We really do get her out--I promise! She's generally pretty happy in it if we're outside. Inside is another story. When I walk the track during Jack's gymnastics class, I'm usually carrying 16 pounds of extra weight.

Here she is modeling the beautiful sweater my friend Tracy made for her. I also love how both kids look so goofy in this shot.

The bouncy chair is still an essential. It's one of the few places she'll nap. We do have to strap her in now, though, because she can arch her back and twist around.

She's discovered her feet.

I l.o.v.e. these legs.

Alice went to her first Halloween party dressed as a white tiger.

See? She really does like the stroller outside!

Here she is on the day she turned five months old. Naps on the bed are rare and she usually naps for 30 minutes or less three or four times a day.

Alice is more interested in toys and things now. These animal cards were a big hit.

Don't let this picture fool you. She has no clue how to drink from a cup yet. She does enjoy chewing on it, though.

She got her first rice cereal this week, too.

She's been rolling over both ways for a while now.

She and Jack absolutely adore each other. He loves to entertain her and he is her favorite thing to watch. All he has to do is walk by and she will start laughing--which cracks him up, and sets up a crazy cycle. We may be in for it in a few years!
