Alex can sit up now!

Alex has been so close for a while and now he does not need our assistance to sit-up! I was very excited last night and of course grabbed the video camera right away! He cannot push/pull himself up to the sitting position once he tips over but if we set him up he can stay like that for a while, balancing himself! He's getting to be such a big boy! This week I finally got to talk to Charlie on the phone, as he called my cell phone Wednesday while I was home with Alex (temperature). He sounded really good and rested. I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

NEW PICTURES!! Happy Friday!

I wore my first pair of blue jeans to school on Tuesday...
...and it was crazy hair day (for Dr. Suess week) so mom gave me a mohawk.
Then I got a fever Tuesday...this is me at 1:30am Wednesday w/ a fever relapse.
This is my foot.
Busted.
Still mesmerized by the camera. Mom and dad still need some good smile shots.

That is one cute topless babe.
It was only 16 degrees out on Monday so mom bundled me up, bib included for my massive amounts of drool (no teeth yet, though).
Notice my feet/ankles are blurred b/c I'm kicking them so fast while I munch on my Valentine Froggie.

Alexander's Baptism

The Whole Group, minus Pastor Terry
The Godparents, Megan and Michael Esposito
Alexander's Annapolis Grandparents, Bob and Katie Berry, along with Pastor Terry
The Cornelius Family

Alexander Charles was Baptised on 17 February 2008 at the United States Naval Academy Chapel in Annapolis, MD. The Reverend Dr. Terry Martin-Minnich presided. In attendance were Alexander's Godparents, Michael and Megan Esposito, Grandparents Mike and Susan Stocker, Annapolis Grandparents Bob and Katie Berry, and Maranda Weidner. It was a wonderful weekend in Annapolis: we all stayed at Mike and Megan's house, took Maranda on a tour of USNA which she wore her Air Force ROTC Uniform to, ate at Pusser's and Maria's in DTA, and of course attended the Protestant Chapel Service at 11am prior to Alexander's Baptism at 12:30pm. It was a very special day for us and for Alex and it brought tears to my eyes. I know it's a few years away, but I can't wait for Alex to start attending Sunday School and really start understanding and loving Jesus Christ to the fullest! It was just a truly blessed experience!

Hangin' Out in the Exersaucer Today

Sit Up Practice

Happy Valentine's Day!

All the chicks at daycare really dug my Valentine "Heartbreaker" outfit today.
Weeeeeee, I love being naked (I do have a diaper on). Check out my chunky legs.
We can NEVER catch Alex laughing or smiling on camera now because he is 100% MESMERIZED by the camera as soon as we hold it up. He does not fall for any trick we use. Sigh.
Here's Dad helping me practice sitting up all by myself. It's fun!
My favorite Valentine from Grammy and Papa. He tastes yummy too.

Blue Steele...
Climbin' around with Dad today...
