No, Alexandra isn’t a bionic woman (though she is pretty fantastic)…I got a new laptop!! As those who’ve been following the blog may recall, my old laptop was showing its age and it finally hit the wall last week. I officially maxed out the hard drive and could no longer sync my phone or camera. Which meant no new pictures for the blog! The horror! Clearly, the situation had to be resolved, and quickly.

I’m now styling on a new MacBook Pro with a generous 500GB hard drive, which will hopefully support my photo-taking habit until Alex is at least a few years old.

In the past week and a half, the big news is that I finally connected with a playgroup. Alex LOVES hanging out with other babies, mainly because it involves new toys to steal and other children’s socks. (Yes, she has taken off other babies’ socks. Twice. Not making this up.)

MY maraca! (At her first playgroup, January 28th. Note that it’s not actually her toy.)

We also went to the Peninsula Humane Society last week, as Alex adores animals. While we were checking out the cats, I was holding her and unfortunately don’t have video of her giggling. They also have rabbits as the SPCA, but she didn’t quite know what to make of them. The dogs, however, she was very happy to see.

Doggie! (January 29th)

Can we take him home with us? Pleeeease?

We’ve also been attending Music classes, which Alex seems to like. At the very least, she smiles a lot and enjoys trying to eat all of the musical instruments. We’ll save that cuteness for the next post.
