January in Review!

Yes, I've been a slacker lately with the blog. I promise to get back on track for February. Just so you don't think you missed anything, here's what we did in January.


Alexis in her snow suit!
Of course, the minute our plane touched down back in Belgium, the coldest few weeks of the year hit Belgium. I think the high was 20ish....record lows for Belgium. Anytime we went out we all were bundled up.

Soon after we got back to Belgium, Alexis realized she could pull herself up. We quickly found the instruction manual and lowered her crib. She can still pull up...just not fall out!

Alexis joining Scott after his training session for work.

Getting ready to go out and celebrate New Year's Eve.....we celebrated with Alexis at 7pm.

We went out on New Year's Eve and enjoyed a Belgian Waffle.

All bundled up.

Alexis discovering a whole new world now that she can move around.

Who's cute?

Crawling under the table.

Scott and Alexis trying out the backpack. She liked the view from way up high!

All smiles!

THE BLACK FOREST IN BADEN-BADEN, GERMANY

Shannon and Josh were in Switzerland over MLK weekend and we had planned to meet up with them. All of us had wanted to see the Black Forest so we met up Saturday morning and spent the weekend touring around.

Aunt Shannon and Uncle Josh!

Alexis touching snow for the first time. She really didn't care for it. She takes after me!

The guys throwing snowballs at Shannon.

Alexis hearts Aunt Shannon.

Big laughs!

Alexis high-fiving Uncle Josh. She learned to wave a while back and now waves at anyone and everyone and expects them to wave back. Scott taught her the high-fiving thing and she likes that too.

Thanks guys for meeting up with us. We had a great time!

INAUGURATION DAY

We brought out the pots and pans to bang on.

Alexis cruising around the furniture. She likes to hang on the furniture and walk around it.

She might look back one day and appreciate this picture..who knows?

PLAYTIME FUN!

Ummmm...things are moving a little more quickly than I thought they would. We were taking pictures in her track suit for Aunt Kelly and the next thing I know....

She crawled UP the suitcase. The stairs are any day now I just feel it!
