Alex is 4 months today!

We tried so hard to get cute smiley pictures last night, but Alex was far more interested in what her big brother was doing … which was trying to figure out how the camera works, or more specifically – how to get “Nena’s” photo to appear on the screen.

It was a vicious cycle which ended in slightly unfocused, blurry, distracted photos. Come to think of it, that description is pretty fitting for our lives right now!
