Abuelo

Alexis and her Abuelo LOVE going to the park. She is so lucky and grateful (as are Jerry and I) that he takes care of her and keeps her out of daycare. Their favorite thing to do is go to the park and swing and take walks in the neighborhood.

8 months!

Yesterday Alexis turned 8 months! Jerry and I couldn't be happier to have such a healthy and beautiful baby girl. We thank God every day for our sweet Alexis.

catching up...

It seems I have been a bit busier than expected and haven't had the chance to blog like I'd like to.  Let me bring you up to speed, Alexis is now 7 and a half months old.  She has 7 teeth (3 on top, 4 on bottom), she crawls and stands every chance she gets (holding on to something of course). 


Alexis was the best sleeper until recently, for some reason she has been waking at odd hours of the night. I'm assuming it's because she can stand herself up and doesn't know how to lay back down and fall asleep.  I try letting her cry some before picking her up but the cry it out method just isn't my style.  


I HATE co-sleeping but am unsure of what other way to get her to sleep right now without losing too much sleep myself...not that I sleep much when co-sleeping.  In the words of my intelligent cousin, co-sleeping= NO SLEEPING.


Losing sleep is worth having my sweet daughter...who I can hear waking up as I type.  Oh the joys of motherhood...
