These are the first "professional" shots taken of Alexandra (like I haven't taken enough myself).   Alexandra was 11 months old at the time (September '98). 

It's amazing how 5 grown adults can make complete fools of themselves jumping around the place trying to make one small child smile for the camera!  As you can see we must of made pretty good fools of ourselves because we did manage to get a couple of good smiles.
