Gimme Gimme!

Alaina is now starting to reach for things. Here she is in the bathtub, reaching for her duck. Soon, she will be reaching for money (which won't be so cute!)

She really didn't understand why I was cheering her on!

Day Full of Firsts

This past Friday (June 26) was full of firsts for Alaina. First, she had her picture made professionally by Kristi Bell - who did a wonderful job! Here is just one of the cute pictures! I can't wait to see what the other ones look like!

Alaina was really good (except for changing her clothes!). She even laughed out loud at Daniel, who was acting silly and quacking like a duck! This was another first.

Then after a short nap and bottle, we went to Uncle Gene and Aunt Angela's to swim for the first time. Alaina was unsure about it the whole time but she did not cry (nor did she smile). We stayed in the pool about an hour. She did enjoy watching her cousins play. Daniel took lots of pictures! Here are some of the best ones (of her, definitely not of me!)
