Ali is 4 Months . . .

and 4 days. Gosh I am struggling to keep up! She is a doll and has definitely become the princess in the family. This girl is SPOILED!!!!!!! You may remember that I have said she loves me and especially me holding her. Well she only wants me and to be held by me, I need to break this baby girl into the real world and our family and she needs to learn she is part of this family, not the center of it (I will get to it someday . . . . sigh).

Ali is holding her head up so well now that I can carry her on my hip (which really helps out since I hold her a lot). She is also starting to grab hold of things. One funny thing is she LOVES the dry erase calendar I have on the fridge. When she sees it she goes crazy. She will be quiet in my arms and as soon as she sees it she lights up and starts babbling, silly girl! She loves to tell me stories and smile at all the crazy things her brothers do (they sure do love her!)

Crazy Weather

This last week started out crazy hot


(where am I Arizona?)

Then near the end of the week it has had thunder showers and lightning and has been so humid! The thunder scares Zander but the rest of us have enjoyed this rarity.

While it was so hot we went to Aunt RaNae's for a swim in her pool (our favorite thing to do). Even Ali enjoyed the pool (it was her first time in the pool, she had extreme eczema when she was born and I have avoided the chlorine until now).
