Alex has decided that she likes to be covered in pillows. We heaped them on her last night while we were playing on the bed, and she actually wiggled herself back under them when they fell off her. This was pretty tough work - those pillows are pretty big for someone as tiny as Alex - so after a while, she settled under one pillow and just stared at the ceiling thinking for a bit. She had her arms draped over the pillow and was so still I wasn't sure she hadn't fallen asleep. When she finished zoning out, it was again time for the alphabet and counting.

Alex can now officially say the alphabet up to S. Well, there's a bit of variation in the letters that she remembers, but she got through that much last night with only pronunciation errors, and I think that's truly amazing. And she can count to ten with only one hitch. Seven = salmon. Oh well, also pretty impressive if you ask me. So what if she associates her favorite fish with the number seven?

Anyway, Alex is half-packed for Grammy and Grampy's house, and hopefully she'll be up soon enough to get a bath before she goes since she seems to like jelly in her hair for breakfast.
