This turned out to be the week of Alexis' first of many firsts. This is actually the first blog of firsts, too... but enough about first, let's get to the blog. First thing first: Alexis finally learned to crawl this week. Yup, only took her 10 1/2 months to figure this out. She learned how to say "Mama" and now continuously says it over and over. We've gotten her to say "Ball" and "Dog Dog," although not consistently. I pointed to the cat today and asked her what it was and she said, "Dog Dog." So, let's just say it's a marathon, not a sprint. And most important of all of these firsts, she had her first apple picking experience. We knew this would only come once in her lifetime, so we invited the whole family to come along. Mom and Keith made the journey as well as the Eldred clan (Ron, Julie, Ryan, Emily, Addy, and Jack). As with all of my blogs, the pictures do a better job telling the story than I could, so here are some shots from the outing:
I love making JL do goofy things and then promise her that I wouldn't dare use it on this blog.
Everyone has fed a yak an ice cream cone, right?
Just the beginning of these two "butting heads"
Finding the perfect apple with Grampon.
It's hilarious how serious she is about her food. Addy always keeps a safe distance away.
Addy risking life and limb getting that close while she has food in her hands.
Using Grampon's hair to wipe her hands after a long day of eating apples.
The happy family
We tried leaving without getting a maple creemee and that was NOT a good idea.
Back home thinking about the great apple picking adventure.
Alexis almost looks skinny in this picture... and pretty darn cute, too.
