2011-02-09 Pic of the Day!/ ALEXSA IS ONE!


What a strange feeling it is when your only child turns one. Joy and sadness at the same time?  I’m so excited to go through the next stage in her life, but why must it go by so fast? I had to pick her up an extra time last night before I put her down for one last hug as my little Baby Girl. When I see her again she’ll be ONE.  Now we can measure her age by YEARs.  This is why parents still say “My child is 13 months” or “26 months” or whatever.  It’s to hold on to that last glimpse of babyhood that we enjoy so much.

Some of her accomplishments now that she’s one:
·         She can sign “milk”, “bath”, “all-done”, “more”, “change”, and “shoes”.  Change and Bath are her favorites.  We’ve now had to start saying B-A-T-H when we mention it because she’ll start signing away and say “Uh?” like “Can I have one now?”
·         She is SUCH a walker.  She barely will crawl at all anymore, except when she’s playing.
·         She no longer eats baby food.   She started spitting it out and squishing it through her pursed lips.  At first we thought it was a taste thing, but I think she just  likes the way it feels through her lips.
·         She can take off her shirt over her head if I get her arms free.
·         She can get off the couch without tumbling off. She knows HOW to climb up, but isn’t quite big enough.
·         She still only has 2 teeth!
·         She gives the best hugs.
·         She can blow you kisses.
·         She plays “How big is Alexsa?” SOO BIG!
·         If you sing Minnie Ripperton’s Lovin’ You at the “La la la la la… lalalalala… Do do do do do do do” part, she’ll finish with the high-pitched  “AAAHHHHHH!!” at the end. Its adorable and makes us laugh every time.

Happy 1st Birthday, Alexsa Jade. 
How old is Alexsa? "One!"

2010-01-27 Pic of the Day!

I can officially say that Alexsa is a walker!  She walks all over the place like a little drunken sailor. Its adorable!  So tonight before her bath I thought, How cute she would be walking around all nudy booty?
(like a Johnson and Johnson commercial.) Well as soon as I put her on the carpet she started peeing! It was just a little blip, so I didn't think much of it.  I continued my quest to get a picture of her walking in the buff. Then 20 seconds later she just started GOING.  On my Mom's carpet. I couldn't help but start laughing. I had the water running for the bath, a naked baby walking around willy-nilly, and now I have pee on the carpet and me laughing harder and harder trying to figure out how to simultaneously clean up the pee, take a picture of my adorable baby nekkid, and prevent her from running into the bathroom unsupervised while I sop up her mishap.  This is what i ended up with:

Yep.

I think I got a picture of her stepping in it.
