Big events

Our family had big events recently for Alexandra and Christopher.

Alexandra:

I have packed away all the clothes that are too small for Alexandra, which ended up being an emotional event. I had so many fun memories in her different outfits that it was so sad to think that she wouldn't ever wear those clothes again. Guess we'll just have to have another baby!

A couple of weeks ago, Alexandra demonstrated why we needed to lower her crib and always put her to bed in a sleep sack - the sleep sack restricts her movements so she can not stand up (as demonstrated in the photo below).

Alexandra now likes to "walk" around downstairs (with mommy's help).

We're getting better with a sippy cup. She still won't let me help her with it, though. Oh, and she's started clapping, which is adorable. If I ever figure out how to upload videos, I'll share that. In the photo below, she's super excited either about her sippy cup or the upcoming visit with Grandee and Granddad.


Christopher:

Christopher turned the big 3-0 on March 26th! We had a party for him with friends, and then one with family. We recently returned from our trip to Florida (blogging forthcoming), where Christopher got to feed flamingos, ducks, and a giraffe. He also got to hold an aligator and a parrot, and see a kangaroo and wallaby for the first time.

Here's a photo from the party with friends:

And here's a photo from the party with family!

Stay tuned for fun photos from Florida!
