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!

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday! I still need to post pictures from our Kansas City trip, but I'll get to that in a few days. This week I have been busy trying to get things caught up around the house after being out of town for so long and we have new bedroom furniture being delivered on Tuesday so we need to get our room completely cleaned out! Exciting though!
-
Anyway, I just told Adam how cute Alexa was today in her new outfit with pigtails. He asked that I post a picture on the blog so here's a few for everyone to see. She's just so cute!!! =)

More Exploring

Uh oh... what is Alexa's latest interest? Stairs! Maybe it's time to start seriously thinking about baby gates. =) There are several pictures on this post, but I thought they would be necessary to give the best picture of Alexa's newest adventure...
-
At least it's not a long fall...

-
Mommy won't let me go down, so maybe I'll try the other side...
-

-
Yes, this made mommy nervous, but at least Alexa was trying to go down the proper way.
-
Careful... careful..
-
Oh, forget the stairs... Alexa interested in the camera now!
-

-
Some day Alexa... some day, we'll get it figured out. You are such a big girl and Mommy and Daddy are SOOO PROUD of how much you try! Love you!

Crawling Videos

Here's a couple newer videos of Alexa crawling. She is doing so amazing and gets herself around so much. She does crawl on her own without any incentives from us, but because everyone kept asking for new video (and I never have the camera out), we did use cheerios to get her to crawl across the room for the camera. Little speed monster.

Help Mommy Day

Alexa must have noticed that daddy had to work longer days this week, so she decided she would help mommy out with some chores. :)
-
Mommy has a couple stacks of stuff to organize in the computer room. Here Alexa decides she tired of looking at one of them and since she can finally move, she'll help mommy out with the pile.
Just.. gotta.. get.. over.. the.. pillow...


-
"What? I'm just trying to do you a favor mommy!"

-
Oh and laundry... the joy...

-
Alexa, I'll show you this in about 10 years to remind you that laundry is so much fun!

-

-
She decided to take some clothes to put in another basket. Couldn't carry them all, so why not the mouth?! Maybe she's around our dog too much. =)

Big Girl Ponytail

Well this might be a boring post, but I thought I'd share pictures of Alexa with her big girl ponytail. Her hair is getting so long! She's just a cutie. Oh and if you're wondering why Matty is hanging out so close... it's because Alexa is eating snack. Alexa does a good job at sharing. ;)
-
I took about 15 pictures and 3/4 of them were of her looking down. She just didn't want to smile at the camera today...


-
Big girl ponytail!

-
Snacking

-
Cheese!

-
Doesn't she look so grown up? ;)

Exploring New Places

I am still laughing! In our computer room, we have an extra bed. I'm doing some things on the computer and I turn to check on Alexa and long and behold, she is under the bed!! Our little girl is definitely getting herself around. I'm impressed! Poor Matty. Under this bed is Matty's daytime hangout and now it is no longer inaccessible to Alexa!
-
Silly girl!


-
Matty looks a little annoyed! =)

Busy Weekend

Last weekend was a busy one! Friday night, Grandma Ewing, Aunt Teddi, and Aunt Anna came stayed the night so we spent some time with them. Alexa was still kind of grumpy and clingy since we've been out of the hospital. Oh but she sure loved to give her Aunt Teddi a bunch of kisses!
-
Then Saturday, Grandma and Grandpa Munsch came to visit. And Sunday, we went to the Rohr Reunion to see a bunch of relatives including Great Grandma Holmes. Here are some pictures and videos of the silly Alexa. (She's been so goofy lately!)
-
She loves her chair.

-
She scoots her bottom down so that her feet can touch the floor and she can rock herself.

-
She was totally relaxing! :)

-
At the reunion, sitting with Great Grandma Holmes.

-
Helping Great Grandma with bingo.

-
Grandpa, Mommy, and Alexa

-
There were too many new faces there, she needed Grandpa to protect her.

-
Alexa sitting in her new chair AND being extremely brave causing her to almost take a good tumble.


-
Alexa loves her new swing. She was relaxing and "talking". Sure wish we knew what her story was because it's pretty cute when she was using hand motions!! =)
