FINALLY updating!

I know...I know...it's been 2 weeks (or more!) I can see on other people's blogs that I have not updated my Alex blog in a while. That is because of this little thing I like to call GRADUATE WORK! Ugh! Every night I am on the computer doing a blog for that or I am updating my school blog or webpage. In two weeks my grad class will be over and I will have some more free time. I am really enjoying what I am learning in my class and have been using some of what I learned with my class but it just keeps me busy.

So what is the little tyke up to these days?? Well here are some recent developments...

• Unless she is entertained she does not like being on her back anymore unless she puts herself there
• diaper changes are getting harder as she is twisting and turning...I find a tube of butt paste a brush, or some other object to hold works best....BUT NOT THE IPOD that she loves to grab!
• She pulls herself up to stand now
• In her crib too...haha...good thing we moved the mattress down!
• She is self feeding herself little snack puffs
• She now makes it known when she does NOT like something (she has turned into a crabby patty at times!)
• She still doesn't crawl totally yet - she crawls a few steps
• She is mobile though - she goes from sitting to knees and crawls a few steps, then to her tummy, then back to her sitting
• she no longer gets made and flops like a fish or skydiver when she is on her tummy because she has figured out how to get back to sitting
• If you say "wave bye-bye" she will do it (and will not stop for about an hour! haha)
• I think she thinks our lamp is a person because she looks up at it and waves at that too
• She claps when she does something she is proud off (ie...we were rolling the ball back and she claps when she rolls it back - probably because I clap every time too!)
• She will play pat-a-cake if I ask her to
• She is in that "I don't want to be away from mommy phase"
• When she gets mad she arches her back and protests (which I read is perfectly normal and most babies that age do that - thank goodness)
• She is waking up constantly again - ugh! I thought as they get older they are supposed to sleep MORE!!!

That is her in a nutshell...I am sure I am forgetting some stuff but I will try to update more often later!
