Shopping & fun in the sun.

It's me, Aunt Tricia! Yesterday, as Alexis mentioned, we had a dinner party. We had stopped on the way back from our trip to Mexico to buy some dinner items at Trader Joe's grocery. In this store, they have tiny little carts for tiny little people. Here's tiny little Alexis, shopping her heart out:



We loaded her cart up and she did a pretty good job of pushing it without injuring herself or anyone else.

This week she's getting more and more confident with her walking. She's pointing at things more, and wiggles her thumb and index finger when she wants you to hand her something. She says "ball" all the time, and has added a syllable to baby, so it sounds like "bay-bay-bee." She sings it a lot! She has been saying things that sound like Lisa, Tricia ("dee-da") and Mammy instead of Mandy. And we walked by a guy waiting for an elevator and she shouted something that, I swear, sounded just like "Push the button." I'm pretty sure it wasn't, but it was creepy anyway.

Today we went swimming and Aunt Mandy took some good pictures of Alexis, especially a nice one of her and Hannah. Here's a few snaps of our day at the pool:
