Bathtime Baby!

So this evening I decided I needed to update or else it might be another 7 months. I tried to get Brennan to let me take some pics while he was playing, but he was too interested in taking the camera for himself. He was cracking me up in the shower, so I took a few shots there.
I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!! Here's the person I'm most thankful for...

Fight for Preemies

Baby Alexis- 10 weeks old- in her cute outfit from ME! Girls' clothes are SO CUTE!

So.... I haven't blogged in 7 months!! I know, I know... terrible. And I wasn't sure that I would blog again. There's a million things going on in my life (some good- some horrible) that I'm not going to share right now. Today- I'm blogging for my favorite preemie baby- Alexis Marie Alfred! Today is "Fight for Preemies" day with the March of Dimes, and one way to get word out is to blog about it. Alexis is the baby of my teaching partner in crime- Jenn. She was born on September 2, 2009 (14 weeks premature!)- weighing in at 1lb, 7oz. Alexis has been such a fighter since day 1- just like her mama! She now weighs a whopping 4 lbs, 6 oz, is breathing on her own, in an open bed, and taking many feedings by bottle! With all hope- she'll be going home next week! This little girl is truly amazing and so strong. And so are her parents. Jenn & Ryan have been amazing inspirations to me as a mom. I can not imagine going through all of this. I can't wait til she gets bigger and Brennan can start teaching her all of his tricks.




And because I can't blog and not do a little update about Brennan- he's one month from being 2! Aaah! He's turned into a regular kid and makes me laugh on an hourly basis! The picture is of him drawing a card for Gigi's birthday this past weekend. I'll update soon and more often- I promise!
