Greetings, blog friends! I just wanted to say a quick thank you for your kind interest in my life and progress.

Mommy won't read them to me, because she's afraid I'll get a big head, and my head is big enough already. It's actually rather heavy, I have difficulties keeping it under control at times.

I've been doing some research into the principle of cause and effect.

This has some interesting connotations which I would like to follow up on.

She is, I regret to say, somewhat of a monomaniac on that topic.

For what, you ask? A pressing interview? A national crisis? No, a bath. It's so provoking!

Altogether, the experience is an exhausting waste of time and energy.

I will keep you posted on the progress of my research. Have a lovely day!

Delightful!! :)
Oh, my poor Alaina- things will get better in the future and one day, like your mother herself dicovered, changing clothes is one of a girls favorite things to do.
In no time at all you will have more energy than you will know what to do with. And sooner than they know, you will spending way too much time in the bathroom attending to girly things like hair, makeup and which outfit should I wear today.
The head thing gets better over time, too.
Make sure your parents keep the pics coming- from a totally devoted fan...
Loved the pictures and description! I actually laughed out loud... :)

I love picture #2! Those cheeks are absolutely adorable, Alaina. I'd have to say your mommy is doing a pretty good job keeping us all updated, but do you know how hard it is waiting until we get to see you in person? It's torture!
See you (oh, and your parents too) soon!
~Faith
Oh, that made me laugh! How cute! I especially loved the tea party picture!
~The Dunns
You're too funny :)
Gretchen,
You are the most perfect mother for a little girl. Alaina has some delightful days ahead of her!
Julie P
I agree with my mom...Gretchen is a perfect mom to a little girl!
Alaina...you can come join your friends Miles and Luke. They disliked changing clothes so much when they were your age!
Keep the pictures coming! Actually why don't you bring her to zion!!!
Heather
I enjoyed the narrative, obviously this is one bright girly-girl! Sounds like mommy is having a lot of fun being a mommy. How wonderful for both of you (and Daddy)! Thanks for the lovely pictures and "stories". Especially like the last pic with that big smile and kissable cheeks! Sue B.
Oh, we loved it - the pictures, the letter and everything! We both laughed, oohed and aahed over the adorable pictures. How sweet the last one is of her precious little smile. Of course, we loved the one of her with the teacup, too. Oh, what fun you must be having being a mommy!
We're looking forward to meeting Alaina sometime and seeing her mommy and daddy again. :-)
~Ellen and Elaine~
Enjoyed all the pictures and story line. Oh what fun is ahead for you sweet Alaina as you grow! :)
Too cute!
She is so cute! She has the cutest cheeks!
Lydia
Hi Gretchen~
I haven't been able to figure out who Alaina looks like before today...in the pictures with her mouth open where she's either smiling or crying, she looks like you :)
