Milestones... that's right, plural :)

We've already had a pretty great week, and it's only Tuesday!!!
We celebrated Alexa's 1st Easter by coloring eggs, attending church, and having brunch together with my family (including our egg war tradition - winner: Paul). We were able to spend a little bit of time at my Gram's house too. Then, we made the drive back down to C-bus for dinner with Dan's parents.
Alexa was fussy all afternoon yesterday and didn't sleep well at all (she woke up every hour for her pacifier to "chew" on). So we're thinking she may be teething. This morning the fussiness continued so I called the triage nurse as well as sought advice on Facebook (lol). I got the same suggestions from everyone: Tylenol, Orajel, refrigerated/frozen toys, and Hyland's teething tablets. The Tylenol seems to be easing her pain along with the toys (for now). I'm hoping for a good night's sleep tonight though! I don't handle the sleepless nights very well :)~
So that may sound like the week's been not so great, but Alexa's crabbiness was worth it when she sat unassisted (tripod style) during Babytime at the library today and even better when she rolled over (front to back) for the first time! Two milestones in one day!!!

Our family on Easter Sunday.


Alexa got a piece of homemade chocolate, a bunny, money, jelly beans, a dress & romper (for this summer), and Peeps in her Easter basket.











Playing at Dan's parents' house after Easter dinner (she really loved kicking the ball).










TRIPOD SITTING!!! Yay, baby Alexa!










More tripod sitting and trying to ROLL (she is so close going back-to-front).


A cell phone can be great motivation! Her first roll (ever) from front to back (thank goodness I am a camera freak and always am looking to capture memories)!!!

Take care, y'all. Ciao.
