3 months...and an update

So, I know that I'm the most boring blogger in the world. I would put pictures on and stuff, but all of the pictures are on my mom's computer and I rarely use it. Anyway, Ali turned 3 months old on Thursday. I can't believe how fast time is going by!! She is as cute as ever, she giggles a lot and is still a pretty happy baby. She doesn't like tummy time. I think she has come close to rolling over a couple of times, but hasn't quite gotten it yet. I can't wait! She just makes me smile. She loves her mommy. She loves her Grandma, too. She is still not sure about Grandpa and Shanna. Michael and Dani don't really care that she's here, but Lexi loves her. And Ali loves Lexi right back. It's really cute. My mom has given her a little bit of ice cream here and there. I don't really know if she likes it. My mom has been telling me that I should start giving her cereal just at night so that she'll sleep longer. But I don't know. She already sleeps for like 5 hours at a time, wakes up to eat, goes back to sleep, and wakes up a little while later. So I haven't decided about that. Anyway, she's just so good. I love her so much and I'm so blessed to have her.
As for me, I'm doing really well. I went to the temple a couple of weeks ago to do baptisms with Shanna, and it was so fun. It was our first time going without a group, so we didn't really know where to go or anything, but the people who work there are so nice and friendly, so it was alright. I'd really like to go again soon.
Michael, Lexi, Shanna and my dad all started school. Michael, Shanna, and my dad started a couple of weeks ago, and Lexi started Tuesday. So it has been good. Lexi loves it. Michael sometimes says that he wishes he could just skip school. My dad...he hasn't really talked about it. I think he likes it though. Anyway, so it's just me, Ali, my mom, and Dani at home in the morning until 11:20 when we pick up Lexi from kindergarten. We actually started walking in the morning while Lexi is gone. We have been talking about walking together forever, and we FINALLY started. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. We have already felt some benefits. And we just walked 3 days! I'm super proud of us though.
I have decided to start school in January. I'm scared to death, but I know it's the right thing to do. I don't know whether I'm going to start work or not. But I need to take the SAT to apply. (Only because I'm under 21. Lame.) I don't know what I want to major in right now, but if I can't figure it out, I'll just get my generals out of the way.
So yeah, life is good. I love being a mom. And I am trying to treasure every moment I have with Ali before I start school (and maybe work?) and won't see her as much. I'm so blessed to have all the help that I do. Until next time...
