Now We Just Need Payton....

Mommy's 'Happy Place' for the next 64 days! :)

Lounger

I have been in search for chair for Alexis for her to read or watch tv in. I have a chair that is too big and one that is too small. Little did I know we already had one that is JUST right.

Eating Like a Big Girl

After months of Mommy saying "no no Alexis Mommy will do it" I gave in and am occasionally letting her feed herself. (Usually before bath time) As you can see she is quite happy about it!

NOT Trial and Error

Organizing the shapes in pairs. Now that is a smart girl!! Or she is OCD... One or the other.

Making Progress

Need to finish the tree and the 's' in Alexis. Working on starting a castle project soon as well. Getting a bed next weekend. We are almost there!!! 11 more weeks.... And so much to do! :)

Loving Her New Puppy

Hot Diggin It

Visited Daddy at his work. He made me a tiny hot dog and french fries. And most importantly ice cream for dessert! I had a great time.

Mama.. Daddy

She's been able to say this for awhile... BUT one year olds don't like to cooperate for the camera.

Not sure why she has to yell my name?! 

Woah!

After our traumatic trip to the doctor to fix her boo boo we had to take a trip to Landen Park.

We visited Daddy and got Hawaiian Ice and played on the swings.

All while repeating her new favorite word, 'woah'.

Newest Family Member

Tyson!!
He is a 6 month old Great Dane. Don't let his size fool you, he's a big baby.

Our First Real Boo Boo

Don't let the smile fool you.. She was NOT pleased once the doctor came in to look at it!
No stitches, nothing a little glue couldn't fix.

Just Gonna Go Ahead and Title This One "UH OH!!!"

Def spells trouble to me! But she had SUCH a good time, as you can tell.

Happy Mother's Day!

Ben came up with this GREAT idea.. that Mommy needs a shirt that says "I Heart My Kids". So he comes to me for help. He drew out the design, down to the fact that he wanted the 'i' to have a heart for the dot. I painted the design on the shirt for him. He gave it to her on Mothers Day, and of course she wore it! Best shirt ever! And she does have wonderful kids. :)

Peek a Boo

Scribble Time

Alexis had so much fun making Mother's Day gifts! She was at it for at least 30 mins, making sure the picture was JUST right. 

Tough Girl!

"If I can't have dessert, then I AM NOT eating a single thing!"

Smart Girl

I have been reading a book that goes through the different developmental stages Alexis should be reaching each month. This month it said that she should be able to pass shapes through a shape sorter. WELL, we didn't have a shape sorter at the time, and this was the only thing on the list she couldn't do.  So what do I do you ask? I make an urgent trip to the store to buy her one! Not only is she getting the hang of working it, but she puts the matching shapes together before she passes them through the right hole. I am one proud Mama!

DISCLAIMER: My dad informed me that it should not be titled
"Smart Girl" because it was merely trial and error. What a party pooper! 

Truett's First Birthday Party

Alexis had a wonderful time.. however she thought the party was for her. 

"I'm one again?"

 We caught you! Alexis your daddy is going to have to lock you up!

 

"What? We weren't doing anything! He had something caught in his...uh...ear."

She even thought the gifts were for her.
