Time Flying By

Time is just flying by. Its hard to believe we've been home for 2 months. We started the month by celebrating Jerry's birthday. Alisha loved helping Jerry with the wrapping paper and especially liked his birthday cake. Alisha than celebrated her first Valentine's Day. Daddy surprised her with flowers and a cute pink dragon that sings to her. Then today, was especially fun with Alisha enjoying her first sled ride. We are not sure if she really liked the snow but loved the sleigh ride.

Although Alisha is not yet walking, we have been working on it and she stands on her own for a few seconds. She is crawling and climbing all over and especially loves to climb up the stairs. I am still trying to get her to come back down, but I bet that will happen soon.

We are still waiting for Alisha to start talking but she is understanding more and more of what we are saying to her. In fact, any time you ask her a question, she responds with a yea and shakes her head yes. There is no "NO" in her vocabulary yet. (Aren't we lucky!)

Unfortunately, February has been a rough month for me. I hurt my back and was having a hard time getting better and still taking care of our little girl all day. So Grandma Joan came to our rescue and spent a week with us. Grandma and Alisha had a great time together. They played all day long, took a walk around the neighborhood and went to Gymboree. Thanks Mom for helping out. We love ya!

Other January Events

After reading last months update, I realized I left out a few important events.

Alisha celebrated her first Hanukkah in early January. We went to Uncle Mitchell and Aunt Cathy's house. There was potato latkes, brisket and tons of presents. Alisha had so much fun playing with her cousins and can't wait to see them again. There was also a ton of presents and as usual Alisha enjoyed tearing the paper.. Thanks for the great day!

The following week, we visited Grandma Joan for her first overnight away from home. Alisha had a ton of fun playing with her Grandma and then Uncle Mitchell, Aunt Cathy and Cousin Tara came for dinner. Dinner was yummy and Alisha ate and giggled the whole time.

The next day, we came home early to go to Grandma Pat's birthday lunch. Alisha had a great time hanging out with my Aunt, Uncles and Cousins. Unfortunately, we got news that Josh hurt himself on the ski slope in the Poconos. Thankfully, he is doing much better now. Feel good JOSH!
