Week 50

Week 50 Updates:

1. Alex got her new car seat nicknamed the Throne. She is doing better in it than when we first got it last Friday, but she still is not super fond of it. Hopefully she will grow to like it (especially since she'll be in it for a while).

2. We celebrated Alex's first Independence Day. We mostly relaxed during the day and went to a friend's house for dinner. We had gotten sparklers for Alex but since its been so dry here lately, we decided not to use them. Maybe next year...

3. Alex stood up by herself for the first time yesterday. It totally took me by surprise and I think that she was surprised too. She was able to stay up for about 30 seconds before collapsing onto her bum. Hopefully she will start doing it more and getting more practice. 

4. She did pretty well playing with some older kids yesterday although she sure lets them know where she is sitting and what she is playing with. She is a very feisty little girl!

5. She continues to be a good talker and she is now using her hands emphatically when she speaks, it is so cute!
