August 28, 2008 Alexa's 6 month checkup
Alexa now weighs 18lbs 12 oz (90 percentile for weight) and is 26 inches long (75 percentil for heighth). Her head remains consistently small at 256 percentile. She got a sleuth of shots; she is doing great!
August 31, 2008 Alexa learned to wave bye-bye!

Week of August 18th- JoElle learned to spell her name
I finally have the time, energry and patience to really teach JoElle- so I decided to teach her how to spell her name (out loud). She has recognized her name in writing for the past two years or so, it only took a few days for her to learn to spell it. She is also learning how to spell Alexa's name.
JoElle loves to watch Superwhy on t.v., we watch it together and learn different letters, words, and sounds the letters make. It is really great for learning how to read. She also enjoys the PBS Sprout website- she is on it at least twice a day playing (i.e. learning). She is getting to be a pro at the internet and computer. She can pull up Internet Explorer, minimize and mazimize screens, go back to previous pages, X out of windows, pull up her blog, my blog and PBS Sprout's site, move the icons around on our desktop, pull up and type in Word and Excel, pull up and paint using the Paint program, type her password for her e-mail address sign-in, pull up Christian videos on You Tube..and much more!!

August 24, 2005 Alexa is 6 months old - rolling to her tummy
Alexa learned a lot today! She learned to roll from her back to her tummy (she was trying to get closer to her sister!)
Also, she started rocking back and forth on all fours- she is close to crawling! Uh oh, we are in for some trouble soon- there's so much for her to get into!!!
One last thing- Alexa started blowing raspberries with all her drool (she is teething again- the top twop front teeth are trying to come in).

August 24, 2005
We all went to church together since JoElle was asking to go to big church and Alexa is super fussy with everyone else this week from teething. We participated in big church in the cry room and Nana joined us.

April 22, 2008 Alexa's 8 week (2 month) check up
8 week checkup- Alexa weighed 11 lbs 2 oz and was 24 inches long - 75% for both height and weight; her head is tiny, 25 percentile- she has gained almost 4 lbs since birth and grown 4 inches!
JoElle at 8 weeks was 11 lbs 9 oz and 23.5 inches- but she started out bigger- 9 lbs and 20.25 at birth compared to Alexa's 7 lbs 5 oz and 19 inches at birth!

August 3 rd, 2008 Alexa: 5 months
Alexa finally learned how to sit up on her own, unassisted! Also, she has really discovered and can reach her feet. She loves to smile at us and show of her cute pearly teeth! She also loves to talk really loudly, giggle at JoElle and anyone else who is silly in front of her!

July 19, 2008 - Alexa is almost 5 months old
Alexa's first tooth, the bottom left, popped in today! Then, two days later, her next teeth popped through her gums, the bottom right. She also ate pureed blueberries for the first time and loves them!

6-15-05 Father's Day
Happy Father's Day to Daddy- from JoElle, Alexa and Megan We love you :)
Alexa started rolling onto her side from her back today; she loves to pull her legs up to her chest, too. Alexa is very interested in the t.v. - she loves to watch certain programs such as the Wiggles, football games, basketball games, and some other action-packed shows. She would rather we put her down on the floor or in her swing or bouncer to watch t.v. than to hold her.
Alexa loves to "talk" to Daddy and to objects, like the t.v. She loves her Daddy!
