Dancing in a Diaper

It has already been established that she loves playing on her Dora "racecar." Today, she started dancing to the music, especially when we started dancing with her! The camera is shaking because Eric was doing a covert operation (and laughing) since Alena gets distracted by it. She was getting really warm near the pellet stove with her Packer outfit on, so we took it off, thus that naked baby. She likes it better that way anyhow! She is such a cutie :)

More Pics From Last Weekend

So serious in some silly leaves!

Play time

Getting some lovin' from Great Grandma Cance :)

Playing in Leaves

Of course this is Alena's first fall. She sat outside in her stroller last week as I blew the leaves out of our yard, but didn't get to explore. Last weekend, we were in Minneapolis to visit Jeremy, Cristina, and Clara Hermann and to see their new house. It was a gorgeous weekend, and we did some yard work and Lena loved the leaves outside! So, we gave her a whole pile to play in! The video speaks for itself.

Splash Splash Time

Alena has taken splashing in her bath to a whole new level. She emphatically and joyfully slams her feet down so hard that she splashes water all over the batheroom. She thoroughly enjoys her little "playtime" in the bath!

Yummy Puffs

A few weeks ago, I bought some organic baby puffs for Alena. They're like Cheerios, but are lighter and easier for her to mush down with her gums. She can't get enough of them so much that she very quickly learned the sign language for "more." Gotta love the little sneaky, "watch what I'm gonna do" eyebrow lift at the beginning of the video! Such a stinker!
