Baby-cessories

Alena likes to fully accessorize her outfits. On Wednesday, Aunt Melissa took her and Tillie to the St. Patrick's Day parade where they scored some cool bead necklaces. Throw in the jelly bracelets from Dad and the purse from Grandma Diane and you have a complete ensemble!

Grandma Dee will be happy to know that Alena is tucked away in her crib and had fallen asleep within a couple of minutes of getting in the car. It was a busy weekend for the little girl and she needs her beauty sleep.

Cat-cessory--I have no doubts that Jones will be wearing complete outfits before long.

Slack rope walking

I already forget why we thought it would be fun to try slack rope walking. We have seen people doing this in a park in Minneapolis, so Ben decided to google it and see what came up. We ended up taking a flat nylon rope and stretching it between the pickup and the tractor. Balancing is harder than it looks. I was finally able to walk the length without falling maybe 1 out of 10 tries. Our next attempt will be stretching the rope across the pond or riding the unicycle across it. Or maybe I will juggle while walking across. I haven't decided yet. Thanks, Dad, for the technical support.

Bracelets

Daddy bought Alena some cool new jelly bracelets.

Alena takes bracelets very seriously.

Stand up and walk

Alena has gotten pretty good at walking. She walks mostly on her tiptoes which is a fun way to do it. If she reverts back to her knee walking, if you tell her to stand up and walk like a big girl she usually will do it. Here is the way she usually stands up. I think it is how the T-2000 did it when he was a baby.
