Happy 1/2 Birthday, Alexa Rose

Alexa has grown and changed so much in just 6 months!










Our last "spring session" story time ~ Meeting my friend, Amy










"Mommy & Daddy, I LOVE squash!"











My friend, Jess, and her little girl, Avery ~ Alexa swinging

We have had a super busy week! Before I go into details, let me just assure my readers that Alexa is doing GREAT on orange veggies!!! We were really pleased with how she was handling the sweet potatoes, but let me tell you, she LOVES squash more than the sweet potatoes! She smacks her lips, opens her mouth really wide, and smiles while she eats 'em. She is eating about half the container per feeding (so one container a day).

So our week... Monday Alexa turned 6 months old - 6 FREAKING MONTHS??? Seriously, where did they go? I looked back through photos from her Birth Day and remember her being so itty-bitty... I have enjoyed so many things during the past few months and am so thankful to be blessed with such an amazing daughter. On Monday, I took Alexa for pictures at Target and then to the grocery store. On Tuesday, we went to our last story time for a few weeks :( The librarians take a break from story times to gear up for summer reading programs. When we got home my girlfriend, Amy, stopped over for a quick visit. In the evening our friends, Ley and Michelle, and their 1-year old daughter, Leylynn, came over for dinner. We had a really great visit! Yesterday, we had a lazy day around the house while I prepared for my 2nd-to-last PSR class. Today was great because we got to meet Avery. See??? I told you we had a busy week! I'm exhausted just writing about it :)

Here are a few videos of Alexa from this week:







It has been 18 days since we've seen my family, but that's going to change TOMORROW! Can't wait for a fun-filled weekend in Perry :) I love Perry, and I love our time with my family. I am so looking foward to this summer... Alexa and I will probably spend a week with Mom & Danielle, while schools out, which means I get to do lots of jet skiing! Alrighty, it's "Nikki-Dan" time. Will post more in a few days. Ciao.
