Alicia is changing so much and becoming such a big girl. These days she loves to dance and spin in circles, climb on furniture, she pushes her toys against the couch so that she can climb up onto it all by herself, give us things that she picks up, hide things...toys and remote controls, pull buttons off of the stereo equipment, help her daddy feed the fish, smell feet and wrinkle her nose, trying to talk, putting her fingers in the orifices of her body...nose, ears, mouth...all fall victim, eat pancakes, and much more.
Alicia and Sienna are a lot more fun these days. They play together and it is almost like two little kids, and not two little babies. Here they are playing with Alicia's Little People Noah's Ark set that Grandma Linda gave her for her birthday.
I'm not sure if Alicia is showing you how big she is here, or putting her hand in the air to start dancing...she likes to put her hands in the air and spin in circles to music.
Another toy that they love to play with together is the set of instruments from Ken and Silvia for Christmas...it has bells and a tambourine, xylophone and a drum. When you add our piano and moraccas we have a whole band and quite the musical talent brewing
Me and "my buddy"
Here's Alicia doing her impression of Alex, sitting in his chair and holding the remote...
This is from this week during our recovery from the flu...Alicia stayed in her pj's all day and enjoyed relaxing
Here are Sienna and Alicia all set for a walk and wearing matching sweatshirts...Sienna's mom packs clothes for her and when Alicia has something matching or similar I dress them up together. Alicia got this Roxy sweatshirt for Xmas from her tia Vane
Alex resumed control of the remote, but Alicia isn't being squeezed out of the chair.
Alicia loves fish, probably as much as her daddy!! She loves to just walk over and watch the fish swimming around in the tank randomly throughout the day. (The tank didn't come out in this picture, but it is clean and looking good in real life,) We recently put a little tank in Alicia's room with a big goldfish. She loves being able to watch the fish swim while I rock her and in the morning she loves to watch it swimming around from her crib.
Below are several photos from a fun playdate at the park the other day with Alicia's friend Bryce and his mommy, April. Alicia loves to play with anyone her size, but playing with Bryce is great, because he is a little more chill, and it helps to keep Alicia a little more mellow.
