Pics will be added soon, it's not letting me right now.
Well, we've been pretty busy lately. The heat has finally subsided so I've started moving again. During the never ending heat wave I tried to refrain from making any unnecessary movements that could potentially lead to raising my bodies temperature. Starting last week, I'm watching a little baby two days a week. It's the perfect arrangement for our family and theirs, but Alicia is less than thrilled to share her mommy, and a lot of my day is spent protecting Sienna from a wild Alicia trying to attack!! She tries to sit on her head, or roll over her, or bite her hands and feet. Poor Sienna is pretty helpless as she is only five months old and nowhere near mobile enough to escape, so she is reliant on me to save and protect her. She is a good baby, but I have her for 12 hour days, so it adds a lot to the week. We are all adjusting to the new schedule, but it's working out great so far!
On Saturday we went to another Angels game, compliments of Alex's sister Vanessa. It was a late father's Day gift to Alex and we had a great time. Even Alicia, who seemed to enjoy the game even more than her daddy, and sat on our laps like a big girl for the whole game. It's the longest I've ever seen her last without getting more squirmy! Alex and I went out last night for our date night, so Alicia got to stay with her grandparents for several hours. She had a blast and played like crazy, because she was exhausted when we got her home.
Overall, our nights are finally going better. It did take letting Alicia cry it out multiple times, but I can now put her to bed and naps without her being completely asleep, and she only gets up one or two times during the night...we are getting ready to do away with this entirely, but I'm having a hard time letting go.
Alex is excited to start school again at the beginning of October, and he was chosen to go to China for work in November. It's an honor for him and a great opportunity, but Alicia and I are going to be very lonely while he is gone.
Oh yeah, we are also looking forward to a short trip to Santa Barbara at the end of the month, a wedding gift from Tom. We are going to take Alicia and stay in a hotel with her for the first time. That trip is going to be followed by a visit from Grandma Linda! Alicia and I are hoping that Grandpa Charlie and Grandma Peggy might come for a visit while Alex is gone, but we'll have to see.
