Summer of 2011 will have many changes for our small family. Adam pursued a new job that is moving our family to McKinney, Texas. Starting June 1, he is working for Traxxas. And if a move isn't a big enough change already, we are expecting a baby girl due July 19. Alexa already loves "baby sister"! We feel strongly that God has been clear on His plans for us and that makes us so excited for what is in our near future. As we are (sadly) leaving many amazing, amazing friends and family in Kansas, we felt it was important to start the blog back up so we can keep everyone in the loop. Thank you all for your never ending support on this adventure for our growing family!

Pigtails - First Attempt

Today, we did our first attempt at pigtails! Almost all of Alexa's hair fit, so it was fun! I will have to try it after her bath though because that's when she gets the cute curls!!

"Mom, I'm trying to eat my Cheerios"

"I can't believe you took me away from my food just so you could take pictures of me."

"I suppose I will smile though. Happy?"

-
"Can I also show everyone how I like to count my teeth?"

Alexa's hair looks red with the sun shining on it!!

Favorite Toy!

Alexa's favorite toy came today! Thank you Grandma for ordering it. Our church has this wall toy and Alexa LOVES standing at it and playing with it at church, so we had to find one for home. I haven't put all the toys on it yet. I had to get it put together quickly so Alexa could start playing on it. It's great because she loves to stand and the height of this wall is perfect for her standing height.

Alexa and her Baby

I had left Alexa with some toys and when I came back, here's what she was doing. She had her baby doll in front of her while looking at a book, which was wide open in front. (The book is hard to see in the picture though).

Cutie Pie

Alexa likes to smile for the camera. She also likes to get up close and personal with the camera. :)

New Fun!

Look at what Alexa figured out today and she thought it was fun! I was trying to eat a snack real quick and she wasn't in a good mood to do anything else, so I just let her stand in between my legs while I ate. She found the cupboard door! She thought it was great fun to open and close. Then she figured out that if she pulled it far, she could push it shut and it would make a louder noise. Luckily my camera was in reach so I could film it a short bit. She is standing on her own and my hand is just in reach in case she fell. I was laughing and laughing when she started doing it because it made her so happy!
