If anyone is interested or knows someone who is interested I am making handmade Hair Clips for Little One's. See below.

"Cutie Clips"

Handmade Clips for Your Little One's Hair

All of the pictures you see are samples of what you can purchase. They are handmade by me with the best supplies. The ribbons are attached to a 1 3/4 inch alligator clip. All ends have been treated to prevent fraying to keep your clips looking amazing. Mix and match or use them individually! If there is a certain colour you would like, just please let me know and I can make one up for you!

Makes a great baby shower gift or birthday present for girls (baby or toddler)!!!
If you or someone you know is interested in purchasing one, or has a question about them, please feel free to e-mail me: allisone_61@hotmail.com

Thanks!

Here is a link to look at the current one's I have: http://cutieclipsforyou.blogspot.com/










Holy Cr@p!

Yet another night of sleeping 8 hours ... ahhh I could get use to this! (knock on wood, haha).

Sunday, June 28, 2009

Something happened last night ... Alexis went to bed at 10pm and woke up this morning at ..... 8:00am!!!!! I couldn't believe it!! I've forgotten what 8 hours of sleep feels like! I woke up at 7:34am and looked at the clock, I thought something must be wrong because she should have been up, so I tip toed into her room, but she was all snuggled up and fine ... some how through out the night she managed to scoot down to the top of her crib, but she was sound asleep! I went back to our room and told Derek, he couldn't believe it either. I laid in bed for a bit then expecting her to start to fuss since she heard us up, but nothing ... finally Derek said he was going to check on her, and I figured I should go and get her bottle ready because she would be a hungry girl when she got up ... Derek came down the stairs shortly after with her and I asked him if she had woken up by herself ... he said "no not really, I was kind of bugging her" ... lol ... anyways, let's hope this whole sleeping through the night keeps up and its not just a big tease!

Blue Eyed Beauty





























































Swimming, Swimming, in the Swimming Pool ...

We've had quite the hot weather here the past couple days, so I thought I would take advantage of it to start on a tan, so off we (Alexis and I) to my parents neighbours house to lounge around in the pool with my sister yesterday. It was Alexis first experience in the pool. It went surprisingly well, she didn't hate it, but I wasn't sure she loved it either. She never cried so I guess that means she would go in again. I didn't dunk her at all, just put her in up to her waist. Here are some pictures we took of the day.

- Enjoy

First Time Going in the Water ... Bit of a Shock to the System haha






















































Not So Bad ...

3 Months Old!

Alexis is 3 months old! Seriously where does the time go? I can't believe that my little baby is growing so fast! I love seeing her grow and all the new things she is learning to do, she's quite the little character right now! Here are her "stats" for 3 months old! I won't be able to tell you how much she weights or how long she is, as she doesn't go back to the doctors until next month for her 4 month needles (eek I don't even want to think about them yet!).

At Three Months Old Alexis:


  • Is just starting to wear size 2 diapers ... I was being frugal and making her finish wearing the size 1 diapers we had left ... poor girl was busting out of them.

  • Eats about 5 - 5 1/2 ounce bottles a day which consist of both breast milk and formula.

  • Is starting to sleep through the night! (yay!) She usually will go to bed any time between 9-11pm and wake up sometime in the morning between 4-7am - I know this could be a phase but I am enjoying it.

  • Usually has a solid power nap in the morning, but likes her cat naps (30 mins.) in the afternoon.

  • Can hold her head up fine now without any help.

  • Is a drool monster! I don't know what it is, but she constantly soaks her shirts so I've started to have to keep bibs on her at all times.

  • Loves to smile at you. I love going to get her out of her crib in the morning and she flashes one of her BIG smiles! Daddy usually gets big smiles too from her!

  • Can hold her head up and move it from side to side when laying on her stomach or back.

  • Loves to cuddle on your chest and just hang out there.

  • Loves to play! She likes sitting her in exersaucer - she doesn't do much but will stare at the flashing lights for a good 20 mins.

  • Is a chatty one! Her new thing also is to have long and serious talk with you. She enjoys telling stores, and sometimes scares herself with the loudness of her own voice (must get that from her father). You will find she also throws in a couple giggles and laughs here and there, which is priceless!

  • Has definitely found her hands - and THUMBS! You will often see her search for that darn thumb and once she finds it, in it goes into the mouth. I also caught her the other night starring at her feet ... she must be aware that they are attached now as well haha!

  • Watches Noelle move around the house while she is sitting, and is quite interested in her at the moment.

















































[ I goofed and forgot to grab her lamb for the picture ... next month I will remember! ]
