yesterday the little booger rolled over! she went from back to belly and then immediately back to her back again (she HATES her belly). a few hours later she flopped over from back to belly again. that time she couldn't get herself back over and ended up puking so mommy had to come to the rescue. i'm so excited!
he knows how much i LOVE the music (and the movie of course) from moulin rouge, but i don't think they have a good soundtrack (and there are two of them!) so what did my computer geek of a husband do?? he uploaded all the sound from the DVD, then went and cut out just the songs and made me my own soundtrack! he's so wonderful. :)
Thank the Lord for Auntie Nicole! Alice doesn't like to sleep at Grandma's house (there is just too much to see!). Normally it's not an issue, but the night before we were out late celebrating Uncle Fred's 21st so she was extra crabby. After much coaxing, Auntie finally got the little booger to take a short nap. I'm not really sure how much it helped though.
Here's Alice with cousin Amanda. She looks very Rice here, but normally you don't have to ask if these two are related they look so similar. Damn Bathje genes.
Alice definitely has a fascination w/ anything we put in our mouths lately. She was pretty mad that I didn't give her a sip of my beer...she did enjoy trying though.
the torture begins.
so mommy thought it would be fun to try and put alice's hair in a ponytail. it is cute, but calling it a ponytail is somewhat of a stretch. maybe unicorn horn is a better name for it.
regardless, this certainly won't be the last time mommy plays dolly with baby. after all it's one of the bonuses of having a baby girl. :)
i swear i have a pic of me with this same face, only i was eating spaghetti and was obviously a bit older than alice is here. i'll have to dig through my pics...and invest in a scanner.
look who fell asleep on daddy's lap. she's been such a crabby appleton today...hopefully she'll sleep well tonight!
Daddy made Alice "hunt" for her basket. It's a silly Bathje tradition that Matt insists on continuing despite the fact that Alice isn't mobile (or able to sit up on her own for any great length of time as this photo clearly illustrates) let alone able to grasp the concept of hunting.
The dress she wore was actually one I came across at Dad's house. He thought it was made for me by Grandma Rice so I did a little hunting, and sure enough right on the hem of the dress is a little tag that says "made with love by grandma". The bonnet was what we ended up going with after searching relentlessly through 4 department stores. No one had Easter bonnets, I couldn't believe it! Luckily Babies R Us saved the day. After all it wouldn't be Easter with out an Easter bonnet!
Alice seemed unimpressed with her loot. I'm sure this time next year she'll have a greater appreciation for plastic eggs and neon green grass.
Chillin out with Auntie Annie. She was extremely well behaved all day! Even in church (Alice...I don't know about Auntie)!
My FIL being the hilarious man that he is. I'm sure he was saying something funny here.
This kid is pretty used to getting passed around on the weekends.
This is the worlds most annoying toy, courtesy of Auntie Mary. I have to make sure to take the batteries out of that one. By the way, the sweater is one that Mrs. Tracey made for Alice. She's finally big enough to wear it, and boy did she need it since we had flurries that day! Who ever heard of snow on Easter?!so Alice will eat pretty much anything you put in front of her:
peas
green beans
bananas
barley (one of her favs)
but this kid HATES peaches! what is up with that??
i guess that just means more grandma's peach custard pie for me :)
FYI: baptism invitations should be arriving in the mail w/in the week. i finally got around to doing them!
