September, 2002 (Month 16)(images from August 7 to September 5)


Let's see...Alex continues to get every non-fatal disease known to babies:  at the beginning of this month, she's recovering from an ear infection.  But she continues to be a brave soul about it...although she's not thrilled about taking her medication, she does so (usually) with a minimum of spitting it back up.  She's starting to get more social, seeking out other children when she's in a public play area, and her vocabulary grows by the day (Mommy told her to go get a toy turtle out of a box of 150 or so little animals, and she walked across the room and did it).  Eating:  everything.  Speaking:  about 20 words.  Sleeping:  much better.  Walking:  nearly running.  Issues:  very few.

This week's pictures are most of the way down the page (week 5)!

  I *love* eating apples! They just make me so happy!
 
  Look at all my teeth! Ah, relaxing and apple-eating...life's good.
 
  Here, Mommy -- want some? Nope!  I'll just eat it myself!
 
  Here's my foot, out in the backyard. And here's Mommy's garden.
 
  Sometimes it's fun to play in the sprinklers! Although the water's very cold!
 
  OK, enough of that. Slides are more fun when you're wet!
 
  And so is driving my car. Mommy and Daddy took me to the beach!
 
  Hi, Daddy! Look at the birds in the sky!
 
  I got buried up to my waist. I can *still* put sand in my bucket.
 
  OK...I'm ready to get out now. Mommy, help me out of here!
 
  Ah, normal digging...much better. Hey, is that Daddy out there?
 
  Daddy...what's the deal with the water? I don't really want to get wet...
 
  Augh!  The water is cold! This is more to my liking.
 
  Here comes Daddy back from his swim! Maybe next time I'll go in for longer.
 
  I love to run with the football!  Watch me! This is a "foot" "ball".
 
  Yay!  I love the front yard! ("Outside!") Check me out in the laundry basket!
 
  Whee!  It's fun!  Watch me! It was fun to play in the water at Sea World!
 
  I ran around, getting wet! Really wet!
 
  But it was fun. And it was HOT...so I dried quickly.
 
  We all watched Shamu... ...and then I saw a dolphin.
 
  That's it for this week... ...I'm too cool for this joint! Watch me!
  Here's the movies for the week: Running with the football
Fumble!
Dancing up a storm
Another dance video (kind of dark)
Alex sees herself in sunglasses
Jumping into the laundry basket
More time in the laundry basket
Almost catching the ball!
     
Week 2 starts here!
  Fast on her way to becoming a two-sport star. Whoa!  Daddy's got a camera!
 
  Bubbles are fun! Snack time!
 
  I'm actually waving to an animal on TV. Let's see...this one goes right HERE!
 
  Mommy thinks I look cute in this hat. (I do.) TIGGER!  Hi, Daddy!
 
  We went to Jon and Veronica's wedding! First, we posed for a family shot...
 
  Then Mommy and Daddy watched me run around. I sat in a regular chair at dinner...
 
  ...although it's more fun on Daddy's lap. Heck, it's just fun.
 
  Lydia held me for awhile... ...and so did Paymon!
 
  Yes, that's my finger in my mouth again (teething). Time to go home!
  Thanks, Jay, Lydia and Rielyn for the wedding pictures!
     
Week 3:
  It's time to finger paint...yay! It's really like "hand paint" to me...
 
  Hmm...what happens when I touch my belly? Let's see...a dab here, a dab there...perfect!
 
  And now...a dab here! Yay!  I'm a mess!
 
  Yippee! Now I'll get Mommy messy!
 
  OK...back to the serious stuff. A little yellow here might be good...
 
  ...and some smeared red here...yes! One yellow finger in a sea of mess.
 
  Ah hah!  The finished product! An artist's hands!
     
Week 4:
  I love to draw...let's get started! Ooh...what do you have...pens?
 
  Let's see if I can get the cap off... (Of course I can...I do it all the time.)
 
  I just learned to climb up to the slide...want to see? I get up on the first step...
 
  ...and then it's easy from there! Yay!  I did it!
 
  Time to go down the slide! If you have socks on, you slide better.
     
Week 5:
  Hey, how's it going? This week, I went to Sea World with friends...
 
  Then I watched some TV with my doll. Hey, I'd rather get picked up!
 
  Later, I gave my doll a fake pacifier. Halloween preview:  this is NOT my costume.
 
  Two hats, a football, and my doll.  Watch! I can catch the football! Watch!
 
  We went to a fair this weekend... I watched people play basketball...
 
  ...and Mommy won a bracelet for me! Then I saw some llamas...  Watch!
 
  That's a neat animal! I stared for quite a while.
  Folks...the true value of this week lies in the videos below!
  Here's the movies for this week! Alex plays with the dog...
More dog playing, and an "up" request.
Alex feeds her doll.
Catching the football, wearing a hat!
Another football catch...plus a doll!
Alex wears two hats...and still has the football.
Alex wants to see the llamas!
Alex shows she's ready to mother a doll.
A Halloween preview?  Alex in a lion costume.

GREAT:  Dancing and kissing!
A little rambling never hurt anyone.
I've got a doll, and an elbow.
