what's your favorite color, baby?

BLUE and WHITE!! alexandra showed her school pride for the university of kentucky wildcats this weekend (too bad the basketball team isn't giving us much to be proud of this season!). i think she enjoyed watching parts of the game, though she also decided to have a diaper blow-out which required a complete outfit change. this is the second uk outfit she has had a blow-out in while wearing - think she is trying to tell us something, specifically that she doesn't want to be a wildcat like her folks??


she really seems to be enjoying her wagon wheels!



"okay, pearl, i'll share some of my wagon wheel with you, too."


love this picture, i had just walked into the room while she was playing - when she turned around and saw me, her face lit up with the prettiest smile:


sometimes when she smiles, she scrunches her entire face - too cute.


check out this newest milestone, standing!! she stood for a few seconds completely on her own this weekend, so exciting. plus, ryan tells me that tonight before i got home, alexandra pulled herself up from a sitting to standing position and started "creeping" around her toy. i missed it :(, but i'm hopeful she'll have a repeat performance soon!


so, so hard to believe my little cutie will be 10 months old tomorrow and that i am already planning her FIRST birthday party!
