All I TEETH Are IN! :)

At just 14 months Lex cut all 4 I-Teeth! She now has a grand total of 16 teeth!! What a mouth full! :)

:(

So I sold my first "baby item" today... it went to a great home though! We decided to part with a bunch of BIG baby gear.... and the first thing to go was the jumper-roo. I do have to say, my stuff is in great condition, so it makes it even harder to part with it!!

WALKER!

It's official... we have a walker, and her name is "Franken-Babe"... Alexis is walking around the house like crazy!! Usually with both arms stretched out in front of her! So cute!

Alexis is taking steps!

Alexis took her first step on July 22nd... she is now up to 5 steps. She goes back and forth between the walking and the crawling thing, but she has some amazing balance and CAN walk when she wants too! :) Go BABY GIRL!

Pump!!

Jacob & Grace both learned how to pump today on Rylie's swing set!! YEAH!

Long time...

It has been such a long time since I have posted.... things have been beyond busy and chaotic around here with the end of an emotional school year and the beginning of summer. So much has happened and never fear I have it all written on my calendar, just not blogged.

Alexis 14 Months

Our baby girl is getting so big and so BLONDE! She is our little toe head... well with the hair that she has! She is the most sweet, loving, happy baby... and brings such joy to our world!

Babe's new thing is loving to point at people in pictures and tell us who is in them... "RACE" "BUB". She also loves dogs and really enjoys helping her Daddy take Abby outside. She says so many words... some of them are: no, more, mom, dad, bra (brother), yea, what, that, this, cheese, grapes.... I'm sure there are more but that is all I can think of now.

Alexis really enjoys playing outside with the big kids... and she love playing downstairs with her brother and sister. She loves baby dolls, cars, the kitchen, and anything that she can figure out how to push and walk behind!

Alexis still has not taken her first step... but she is walking around things, standing, walking with fingers, and crawling SUPER fast! I'm not in a rush for her to walk... I know she will when she's ready!

Alexis is a good eater.... she loves grapes, toast, waffles, pizza, spaghetti, mandarin oranges, crackers, grilled cheese and fries. She also LOVES white milk... just like the two before her!

Babe has a total of 12 teeth, and I believe she is beginning to cut her I-teeth. She is a tooth machine!

Alexis has a little stinker side like her big sister... she will just point blank shake her head and tell you NO.... if she doesn't want you to hold her or if she doesn't want you to tell her no... or if she doesn't like what you are doing. Although I have to admit the way she says it is kinda cute!

Alexis also enjoys crawling away from Mom to climb the stairs, splashing in the tub, cuddling with Mom in the morning while she drinks her milk, Caseville sand, ruining things her brother builds with lincoln logs, and going shopping!

Alexis is 13 MONTHS!!

At 13 months baby girl is getting so big... hair growth is the only thing that isn't "movin'" on this girl! She is everywhere... and lovin' life!

Alexis is such a great eater. She loves food... little thing can eat 3 pieces of pizza in one sitting! She also loves her milky!

Alexis has grown attached to anything imparticular but she loves satin blankets like Mommy did! She grabs them the same way... it is funny to watch.

Most people (that knew me as an infant) say Alexis is an exact replica of me as a baby! It really is strange to look at someone who looks so much like you did! She is our little doll... and as a matter of fact a few times we have been asked if we would like to persue modeling for her. Now that she is a tan blonde bombshell... I can see why! Her little white creases amongst the tan is so darn precious!

No walking... still just crawling and cruising. And she has recently discovered finger walking... oh what fun for the poor adult that has to be hunched over for the hours that she could do this per day! :)

It's sad to think... we will soon be parting with many of the "baby gear items" that have been part of our home for the last 4.5 years. I'll miss them along with all the the memories we've made and the milestones we have been reaching in our children and as a family.

Bar-RAT

This is what Grace says when she wants a BARRETTE in her hair... silly girl!

FREE!

I think it's safe to say my Little Lou is BUH (pacifier) free!! (As of 6.8.10) She did have a couple of hard nights, but now she tells me she doesn't need it YEAH Gracie Lou!
