April 2006

This month Alicia is 24 pounds and 31 inches. She is still into trying on our shoes and has added a couple more words to her vocabulary. I think 'hungry' is one of them, and so is "morning". Her favorite books at bedtime are about a puppy and the other about a bunny and she will ask for them when I say 'bedtime'. The daycare says Alicia is their official greeter because she says "Hi" and "Bye" to everyone that comes.

I snapped this picture a little late, but Alicia will go running to get her coat when she sees us getting ours on. She gets so excited about going places!





















Alicia this month has also gotten quite good at handling a fork and spoon.
















Palm Sunday--Madison, WI---Now if the kids would sit still long enough to snap a picture, this one would have been a nice photo. There is Alicia on the left who never will sit for a picture, and her cousins Jacob and John. John didn't want to be held and Jacob couldn't get him to sit in his lap.

















Alicia can finally work the Jack in the Box, she insists on giving it a kiss when it pops up though.















Here Alicia and I are sharing a bedtime snack of her all time favorite: CHEERIOS. She calls them "CHE-CHOS". I was happy that she was willing to sit in my lap for once!
















Easter

On this particular evening, Alicia was happier than usual, so I had to take a picture of that beautiful smile.

Recently we were at a track meet at Augustana College. You can see that Alicia and Greg had a crawling race... looks like Alicia is more of an expert in that area. (It was fake grass, so no grass stains.)
