19 Months old

Alexa is proud to announce ...

that in

February 2011

she is going to be a

BIG SISTER!!!!

Alexa loves saying "baby" and kissing

and hugging mommy's belly!!!

These last few months have been a lot of fun

with Alexa. Her vocabulary is expanding each day

and it is rather amusing to listen to her talk!

She loves saying "suse you dada" whenever he

burps, clears his throat,

coughs, sneezes, hiccups, etc.

She has gotten really good at her

"pease" ... a.k.a. please and

"tank you" ... a.k.a.

thank you and now even adds the name

of the person she is referring to after

her "pease" and "tank you".

She is a very independent little girl with a mind

of her own. Her favorite words that we here a

lot of are "No", "Nooo", and "No No".

She still at times wakes in the middle of the night,

crying to the point where I have to go in and

settle her back down. Her response to me

"night night all done". Even in the wee hours of

the night, I have to admit I do get a chuckle out

of it while assuring her that

night night is FAR from over!

I am still amazed each month with all her new

accomplishments, achievements, and milestones!

Looking forward to another month being

at home with my baby girl!

18 months old

1 1/2 years - where has the time gone??

Alexa's favorite necklace.

One happy girl!

"Please stop bothering me

mommy. I am reading."

The Obsession w/ Books Continues...

Alexa continues to love looking at books and being

read to. When you ask her where something

is on each page, she will point right to it.

Between Barney and Elmo,

Alexa is quite content!

And then there is the ice cream book.

She has to find the "hee hee pop" - a.k.a.

popsicle on each page.

Most of her words are very clear and we can

understand what it is she is saying or asking for

very well when she talks. However

popsicle - not so much. Alexa's version

of popsicle - "hee hee pop".

If Alexa is not sitting in her chair, then she

will plop herself in our lap with a

book in hand!

17 Months Old

Where has the time gone? My baby has

her first 4 Wheeler and is old enough

to drive it all by herself.

It's scary for me to think and say this, but Alexa

has absolutely no fear these days. In her eyes,

the sky is the limit. What is amazing to me is how

much she learns each day.

Her vocabulary

increases daily as she repeats things we say and

is putting 2 and 3 words together now.

She is very determined.

When she wants something,

she will go to the extreme to figure out

how to get it or make it work.

She is the light of our lives!

Obsessed with Slides

We don't have our real play-set just yet.

I am still trying to design the one I want as the

last quote I received was for over $10,000.

Needless to say, I was told to go back to the

drawing board. I am trying to make some

decisions quickly though, because this thing

below, isn't going to cut it much longer.

"Here I come Mommy."

"One, two, threeeeee."

Tractor Ride

Going outside these days, results in a walk

to the shed, lots of banging on the shed door, and

screaming "cactor"... a.k.a. tractor.

Alexa quickly figured out that she has to "try" and

lift the handle to open the door.

And then she climbs aboard.

With the nicer weather these days, the tractor has

had many miles around the driveway!

When mommy has had enough, I tell Alexa that

the tractor is all done. So Alexa puts her hands

up and says "all done, bye bye cactor"

with lots of waving.

Spring Break - Myrtle Beach

In route to our destination. In the picture below we had

about 2 hours left before arriving at our resort.

Alexa's nap in the car. We looked back to see if Alexa

had fallen asleep only to find this...

She really is used to sleeping in the dark.

I was planning on getting her "monthly birthday picture" once

we got here since of course they always HAVE to be

on her actual b-day - but that obviously didn't happen.

So these pictures will have to do until I post pictures

from our vacation. Having 10 days here, I am sure I will

get a few that I will be able to post.
