Alexis vs. the shampoo bottle

For some reason, Alexis thinks it's hysterical to knock over the shampoo bottle.

I just had to take a video!

San Gennaro Feast

This past weekend, we went to the San Gennaro Feast. It was basically set up like the fair but with lots and lots of Italian food.

And a very tall "short" bus

Alexis wasn't sure what to expect.

She once again refused to wear her hat, so we loaded her up with sun block and bought her these new sunglasses.

Once we got inside, Alexis decided that this was her kind of place.

And she enjoyed some of the food.

Mmmmm....delicious!

Garlic French Fries. Good? Yes. $6 Good? Probably not.

Daddy & Alexis playing around.

Tired and ready to go home.

Our Little Monkey

Alexis has turned into quite the little monkey. She's getting very good at climbing on furniture and even walking (with assistance), so when we saw this monkey shirt, Mommy & Daddy just had to buy it for her.

Mama's Baby or Daddy's Girl?

As if there was any question, I now offer you indisputable evidence that Alexis is ours.

Brushing her teeth, definitely Mama's Baby!

Playing with cards, gotta be Daddy's girl!

Gilcrease Nature Sanctuary

This weekend, we took a trip to the Gilcrease Nature Sanctuary.

The sign read "Bird Sanctuary", but all the brochures said "Nature Sanctuary".

Horses out for a stroll.

Alexis making the acquaintance of a large bird.

A pure white peacock showing us his feathers.

Alexis saying hello to a goat.

Then, one of the goats came over to say goodbye.

A pretty pond.

Mmmmm...Alexis had frybread for the first time (it was a hit)!

Donkeys & llamas and emu, oh my!

Colorful peacocks.

Hello horsey!

Daddy & Alexis enjoying the day.

Riding on Daddy is always fun.

Some kind of ostrich species.

A nice creek.

Apparently, this tortoise was VERY hungry, because he found it necessary to sit on top of his food and eat!

Alexis enjoying herself.

Shhhh...the piggy is sleeping.

Baby ducky!

Mama & Baby

Swan

Pretty colors.

Is that Toucan Sam?

The red parrot was very pretty.

This birdy even talked to Alexis!

Breaking into the Secret Hideout

The other day, Alexis was happily playing in the livingroom, so I went into the kitchen to get some coffee, and things got very quiet. I knew something was going on, so I went back into the livingroom. No Alexis. I knew she couldn't have gotten far, and I hadn't heard the doggie door open, so I peered behind the chair and what do you know...

Alexis had committed her first act of breaking and entering. The space behind the chair has always been somewhat of a secret hideout for Elvis. He uses it to keep his toys and an occasional doggie treat that he wants to come back to. Even though it's always been his space, he didn't seem to mind sharing it with his little buddy. So, the two of them played back there together.

Hilarious!!

Perhaps it was the wine that Mommy & Daddy had with dinner tonight, but Alexis was SO funny, we just had to catch her on video!!!
