Workin' on Walkin'

(I stole the title from one of Sarah's posts)

This is a video of Alexis walking with her lion. I've been meaning to get a video of her doing this for awhile, and I realized this morning that if I didn't do it soon, I'd miss my opportunity. I think she's very close to walking on her own, but I think it's really cute when she pushes her lion. This isn't the best, because her pajamas and socks are falling down, but you get the idea.

Birthday Party

On Sunday, Alexis was invited to go to her first birthday party.


The party was at a park.

So, we found a nice place to sit in the shade.

It was a beautiful day!

Mmmmm...a mouthful of pizza (Alexis' favorite!).

Cleaning up.

In her bathing suit ready to go play in the water!!

Not so sure about this, Mommy!

It was a little chilly!

Where should we go next?

Through the rainforest!
Getting wet!!

Still in the water.

Now what?

Holding onto Mommy for dear life!

That was fun!!

Getting Daddy all wet!

Just relaxing.

A goody bag!

The birthday boy swinging at the pinata.

All the kids getting some candy.

Cake time!

More playing.

What a fun day!!

Beautiful morning

Last weekend, before Grandma & Grandpa left, we all sat outside and enjoyed the morning. Here are some pictures...

Playing with Daddy.

Silly Daddy!

Just Alexis.

So happy.


Sitting on the table.

What're you lookin' at?

So content.

Some more playing.

She loves Daddy's watch!

Black and white

Mischievous look!

Chewing on Daddy's robe.

Front view.
Up to no good, for sure!

Love.

Escaping...

....right into Granpa's arms!

Silly Grandpa!

Grandpa and Alexis.

First 1st Birthday

Since we will be out of town for Alexis' actual first birthday, Grandpa Jimmy and Grandma Kay came for a visit this past weekend. Let the spoiling begin...
Grandma INSISTED that Alexis open one of her gifts, even though Daddy was at work.

This was the nice bag it came in.

Alexis was anxious to see what was inside.

Yea, presents!

I don't know how I managed to not get any pictures of what was inside the bag, but it was filled with lots of nice new clothes for Alexis.

The next day (when Daddy could watch), we moved on to the big present.

Alexis checking out her present (in one of the new outfits that was in the pink bag).

At first, Alexis wasn't sure what to do.

But she was sure something was inside!

Hmmmm....what to do?

Daddy, can you help?
Interesting.

Elvis coming over for another look.

So excited!

This could be fun!

Daddy, take that bow off my head!

All set-up.

Pushing buttons.
Now, to this side.

Do you mind? I'm playing here!

Just a few of the other toys that Grandma & Grandpa brought!

This video isn't very exciting, but in keeping with most of the videos I take, it's short, and I love to see her expressions and watch her in action.
