Two Cutiest Ever!

Anticipation For The Dolphin Show

See the hands? So cute.

A Bath Usually Follows Lunch

Molluscum Contagiosum

It's not a Harry Potter spell and it's not a zit either. That's what Alex has... one. It's in the same family as chicken pox, caused by a poxvirus. It can be itchy, but right now it doesn't seem to bother her at all. She started out with 4 tiny ones each about a 1 mm in diameter on her face. Three of them are gone after a few weeks. But the one on her right cheek has gotten bigger to about 1/4" and looks red and inflamed. The doctor said it's nothing really to worry about, and should go away in a few months by itself. A FEW MONTHS? As long as it doesn't rupture and spread then it should be good. It's apparently contagious by contact and will spread if it breaks. So now, I have to be careful when I wash her face.

Update

She wakes up around 9 or 9:30AM these past few mornings but plays in her crib until about 10 or 10:30AM. This morning, I was still in bed but I could hear her in her crib. She kept saying "baby." I'm sure she doesn't know what baby means, but it was so cute.

So far, she can say:
dada - when she sees Ryan
baby
boooo - when she wants pooh
bye bye and wave - when she wants to wave to someone
Daiseee - Daisy
eieio
uh oh

She loves to climb the stairs and one of her favorite games is to climb the stairs. I'll stay behind her a few steps and say, "AAAAAAALEx!" She's squeal and laugh, and scurry up faster. She can slide down the stairs. She's getting better at standing by herself and walking around with only only hand held.

The other day I brought out a tupperware box to put her baby toys away. She proceeded to climb into it and sat there for a long time playing with all the toys inside. So now, it's part of her toy collection. She loves sitting in it.

Wheeeee!!!!
