Chicago, here we come...

Sorry that I haven't posted, I know that everyone wants to see photos, and we had to avoid taking pictures for most of the month. Alicia has been pulling herself up and standing on everything and she bashed her face on a chair and had a terrible bruise, so we didn't want many pictures :) However, she is all healed up and looking stellar for the wedding!!

It's been a HOT month of July here, these Californians are crazy, they keep telling me how it's logical not to have AC because of the cool ocean breeze, and as I sit here and sweat I try to understand the logic in that....haven't gotten it yet. So, we have been doing everything we can to escape the heat like going to the mall and Silvia's pool, the beach and stuff.

I do want to let you see some of our most recent pics...

Alex can't swim, so he had to use all the noodles!! Just kidding, he's a great swimmer and nobody knows what he was doing with all those noodles :)
We put a scarf on Alicia's head to protect her bald spots from the sun
She loves to swim in her little boat, but she is really brave and wants to get out of it like us!
We had to take a break for snacks...Alicia loved the strawberries

Here's daddy messing with Alicia again, this time he put her pants on her head...she didn't seem to mind!

Alicia waiting expectantly to be picked up after a quick nap!!
Here you can see the bruise on her cheek and see what a sturdy little sitter she is!

Chicago, HERE WE COME!!!!
