Last Beach Day

She's getting so good at sitting!

Showing off the belly

Alex with Auntie Jill, not enjoying the cold water!

Well Alex and I had our last beach day for the summer. I cannot believe how fast it has gone. Pretty soon we go back to "normal" life where I will be working, Dan will be working and Alex will be with the sitter :( I am totally not ready to leave my baby girl, but I am kind of ready to get back onto a normal schedule. Things have been so crazy with going to Australia, going up to camp, weddings, etc. I'm looking forward to those cool fall weekends where I can hang with the hubs and my baby and bake/try new recipes. I'm actually looking forward to having weekends where we don't have to go anywhere or do anything-where a big trip out is going to Home Depot!

Anyway-we had a great time at the beach yesterday. We went with my bff, Jill, and her two kids (Rylee, age 3; Reese, age 4 months). Alex enjoyed looking around and seemed ok with the sand-she did NOT, however, like the cold water! Just think-next year she will be toddling around the beach :) Alex is getting so big so fast. Within the last few days she has become quite a babbler-stringing her consonant and vowels. Right now her favorites are "bababababa" "wabawabawaba" "wawawawa" and "gagagagagoogoogoo". She's said "mama" a few times, which is quite heartwarming, and has also said "good" three or four times.

In other news: exactly 3 weeks from today is when we return to our fertility specialist. I'm getting excited, but also nervous. I hope I don't have to go through another HSG test again...especially now that I know what to expect!
