"Driving All By Myself"
Alexa was so proud of herself as she showed us
how she can get into her jeep.
She is becoming so independent!
Toddler Pasta
Alexa is quite the picky eater...unless she
is eating fresh fruit. We have found two different
toddler meals that thoroughly enjoys.
Here she is eating her ravioli's!
And of course she insists on feeding herself!
"More please mommy!"
February 12, 2010
Blood work results are in and all is good.
A relief...but at the same time frustrating because
we still don't know what is going on.
February 9, 2010
Back to the doctors for a re-check since Alexa still is having
fevers at night...and this day she spiked one during
the day. Once again, we were told to monitor her breathing
and temperature. Now that her cough is back and nose is
running after being symptom free for three days, we
were told that she has yet another viral infection. We still
have one day left of our antibiotic from the Pneumonia so
we are hoping that with a few more doses she
will fight this virus quickly.
On the down side, we have to have Alexa's blood taken.
They want to check her white and red blood
counts as well as test her for "mono".
Weight - 22 lbs 8 oz
I am a bit concerned since this is the same weight she
was on Jan. 2, 2010 when we were at the doctors with
a viral infection. Here we are over a month later
and she is the same weight.

Pneumonia & Pink Eye
The ever so sick child.
Thursday, January 21, 2010 Alexa started
showing signs of not feeling well...one being she
refused to eat all day and didn't drink much.
Friday, January 22, 2010
In the middle of the night Alexa woke with a fever.
This fever continued thru Monday when we went to
the doctors. We were told a viral infection. Along with
the fever, she has a horrible cough and
very bad runny nose.

Viral Infection
22 lbs 7 oz.
(In case you have forgotten, we were at the
Doctors back on January 2, 2010 with a
viral infection and she weighed 22 lbs 8 oz.)
Thursday, January 28, 2010
Another trip to the doctors because Alexa still has
the fever, horrible cough, and nose running
like a faucet...since last Friday.
This time she weighed 22 lbs 5 oz. Since Sunday
she has started to eat dinner but still no breakfast
or lunch. Again we were told probably a very
bad viral infection but if she still had a fever
tomorrow then we would need to go for
a chest x-ray to rule out pneumonia.
Friday, January 29, 2010
Sure enough, Alexa STILL has a fever, horrible cough,
and runny nose. So it is off for a chest x-ray.
After reviewing her chest x-rays, we were told she
has two pockets of fluid on her lungs. Both are in
the exact same spot on both films. We were told she
has Pnemonia and they would start her
on Omnicef to begin treating it.
To add to the mix, Alexa also started showing
signs of Pink Eye...which she caught from Ayla.
Now it is Sunday night and although her fevers are
gone during the day, she is still having them at night.
So, a phone call to the doctors once again tomorrow.
Rob's Ankle Surgery
January 13, 2010
Rob's long awaited 2nd ankle surgery.
The removal of screws that grew into the bone,
washers, and two bone spurs.
Little did I know that I would be draining the "drainage bag". Not fun for a person who
does not do well with blood!
With Rob still healing,
Alexa is offiacially faster than Rob!
On a positive note, Rob already has more movement
in his ankle and hopefully more to come!
Maybe, just maybe no more limping
while walking. Time will tell!

13 Months Old

13 Months Old
"Do you want some tea mommy?"
"Mommy, I don't know what this word is."
Right at the end of 2009, Alexa had a reaction to her
"1 Year" shots. She had red spots all over her body and
within a week, she had 3 different fevers. The last fever on
New Years Day was over 102...so the doctors wanted
to see us. Her weight was back up a little...
after falling just a little bit.
22 lbs 8 oz.
Since then, we have been well...knock on wood.
Additional good news...about a week after Alexa's
first birthday, she finally, I repeat, FINALLY started
sleeping thru the night! A first since she has been born!
Yippee!

Strong National Museum of Play
December 31, 2009
New Years Eve
Rob and I took Alexa to Rochester to
the Museum for kiddos!
We timed it so Alexa's morning nap would be in the
car on on way there...leaving us a couple hour window once
arriving for lunch and play-time. Then her afternoon nap
would be back in the car on our way home. Since her afternoon
nap is usually the longer of the two, we decided to hit
the outlets on the way home for the notorious Carters store!!
She would sleep and I would shop!
With so much fun, a great deal of walking for Alexa - her choice,
and so much to see and do, Alexa only lasted 2 hours before
showing signs of being ready for her milk and afternoon nap.
There was a lot that we didn't get to like "Wegmans" for kids,
the train ride, airplane, carousel, etc. But that will
allow for many more trips in the future...especially
this summer when I am off of work.
Slanted Floors
Alexa saw the duck and started heading towards it...
but kept looking back at us with funny faces
because she had some difficulties walking
due to the floor being slanted.
In the end, she didn't want to come out.
I had to go in and get her.
Bouncy Bouncy
An entire padded area.
Alexa loved playing in this area and falling
back to a padded landing!
