Stained Glass at Church

Every Sunday at church Alex finds herself drawn to the stained glass windows. She talks to them, touches them, and licks them of course. She has been fascintated by the beautiful windows since she could walk. I had to snap a picture of her and yes it was during service but I did it quietly. I have waited months to capture this photo. No one was sitting near me so I could get away with it.

Everyone can catch Trout

This fake pond with fish is also in "The Yellowstone Room" has fish with magnets in their mouth so that kids can try to catch and relase the fish. Alex just wanted to swing around the fishing pole.

Museum of the Rockies

The new exhibit for kids called "The Yellowstone Room" is phenomenal! They did an amazing job incorporating all the wonders of Yellowstone in a kid play area. From animals made from recycled junk to fake geysers, Alex loved all of it.

The best toys are free

Alex apparently has been watching her Mom do Zumba every night and has become preoccupied with anything that shakes like her weights for Zumba do. She found some pill bottles (which makes me nervous) but they were empty luckily. To her dismay, they didn't shake so we filled them with dog food and she danced the night away shaking with Zumba-force.

Jamin' with Mom's iPod

Yeah for my little techy girl! She discovered that iPods are used for music.  Then she discovered the ear part of the head phone. We jammed all the way to Helena. She loves music and dancing.

Last sledding day for this winter

 
While at a sledding party at the Watson's cabin, Daddy and Alex had a great time sledding once again. Alex did not want to come inside at all. At one point she did because she had snow in her jacket, but she wanted to go back outside within a couple of minutes. She is a true outdoorsy gal!

Pigtails

I am very excited to be able to put my little girl's hair into pigtails. I love playing with her hair!

Mini merry-go-round

Yes I am one of those Moms who lets her daughter ride one of those stupid mall type rides. I thought they were fun as a child and now Alex loves them just as much! Yes it was worth the 50 cents. This one is outside of Kmart in Helena.

Pipe is fun to crawl through

 
Daddy's expensive culvert is a great play thing while it is not being used. Since the weather is warming up, we are exploring all the fun things in the yard. We are getting very dirty while playing too!

Zumba!

We love to Zumba together. Alex loves the beat and Mom loves the workout! What a perfect pair!

Alex put herself to sleep

Alex loves pulling the pillows off the couch and laying on the floor, but this is the first time she put herself to sleep on the floor. I hated to pick her up and move her to her crib. 

Ring Around the Rosy...

This week Alex learned how to play Ring Around the Rosy and now Alex wants everyone to play with her. She even somehow got her Daddy to play. She just loves it, especially the "all fall down" part.

Storytime at the library

j
Grandma takes Alexandra to the library on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for storytime. The Wednesday class is specifically for up to 2 year olds. I was able to sneak down and view Alex sitting with some friends and enjoying. I am normally teaching during this time so it makes it hard for me to be able to come and see her. The little girl next to her is very close to her age. Since Alexa is moving to Manhattan (Montana that is) I am hoping she can meet some new friends through this library program.
