back in the saddle again

wow...october 12th and this is my first post for the month of october. how very sad and pathetic of me! i could attribute it to the gobs of things going on in our lives (like just getting back from lovely hilton head island in south carolina for the wedding of some friends, which should be some good fodder for a blog post later in the week). but really, sometimes i am just at a loss for what to type about here. i'm a busy working professional/devoted mom and quite frankly, that doesn't always leave much - if any - time to devote to the blog. be patient - i'm trying to improve upon this, one post at a time.

when all else fails, i know who i can always post about with a smile on my face ... my sweet alexandra! ya'll, she is growing like a weed and is doing so many new things, i can hardly believe it. sweet girl is 17 months old now, and here's just a few of the things she can do:
** almost run **
** pucker up and give a kiss **
** say "moo" when asked what sound a cow makes, as well as "baaa" for sheep **
** she also has about 25 words she uses steadily, and that number is constantly climbing **
** point out her hair, ears, eyes, mouth, belly, toes and nose (that last one is a fan favorite, she usually ends up sticking her finger up her nose instead of just pointing at it!) **



as a special treat, here's a video of alexandra in her special chair (from the land of nod, just love it!) pointing out her body parts. please forgive the fact that the video is sideways - yours truly just couldn't make the computer understand that the video needed to be rotated clockwise! just turn that head to the side and enjoy!
