Baptism

Alice was baptized Dec. 13. We meet with our pastor prior to her being baptized to be reminded of what the signifance of this sacrement and go over our vows. I found baptism to have a much greater and deeper meaning when having my own child baptized!
Alice did great all day, except during pictures after the service which we woke her up for.

Jameson's Aunt Judy made this beautiful dress for Alice.

Jameson's parents, grandma, brother Austin, and Jordan's family came up on Saturday and spent the day with us. We celebrated Lydia's first birthday as well. Saturday afternoon we got to enjoyed a lot of piano playing and hymn singing with Jameson's grandma (while Jordan's family was swimming at the hotel).


My parents, brother, and grandma came up Sunday morning and then stayed for the afternoon.


Alice and her 2 grandmas.

Our friends Loren, Scott, and Lia also came to here baptism. It was nice to have so many people sharing in this memorable day with us.

My mom made this beautiful cake to have as part of our weekly fellowship lunch at church after her baptism.

Facial Expressions

Alice is now making all kinds of facial expressions. I got a few good ones and sent them to Jameson to let him know what his little girl was up to while he was at work.
Smiles! :)

Frusterated?

Her tongue, which is frequently sticking out or moving all around.

And of course, a big yawn!

4th Week

This has been a busy week of work and class for Jameson, so Alice has had a lot of mommy time. I can hardly believe how much she is growing. Every week she fits into a new set of clothes that didn't fit her the week before. She's definately becoming more alert. She's also become quite the spitter, so she always gets a spit cloth under her head when she's laying down.

She keeps working to build strong neck muscles.

3rd Week!

Alice continues to be a wonderful baby. She is generally quite happy and sleeps well in her crib at night (she wakes up for 3 hr feedings, but goes back down in her crib without crying, allowing mommy to get decent sleep).

This week I took it easy and spent lots of time relaxing. Last week I tried to get out and about and pushed myself a bit to hard, causing myslef to feel sore and tired. Apparently it takes awhile for ones body to recover from having a baby? It paid off and by the weekend I was feeling much better.

Here's a few pictures from this week.

She won't fit this way for long!


Her yawn's are SO precious.

My brother came to visit on Thursday. It took Alice a little while to warm up to him, but by the afternoon she had a good nap with Uncle Matt.


This is the blanket Jameson's Aunt Adonna made for Alice. You can't tell, but she's busy staring at the light. She loves looking at lights!


Alice has found her hands and likes having them in her mouth, especially when it's close to eating time.


She's also developing a strong neck.


My parents came to visit on Saturday. Alice enjoyed a lot of grandma time. She loves napping on her tummy on whoever is holding her. It was a beautiful day, so Jameson and my dad spent most of the day working outside (raking leaves & hauling them away and taking the wagon wheels out of our front flower bed and filling it in with dirt). Alice even got to spend a little time outside.
