HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEXIS!!

As of March 27th Alexis is officially 1 year old! Oh my how time does fly. My little girl is growing up so fast. She has 4 teeth now. She is such a little tease. I will ask her to say mama and she looks me square in the eye and says dada, and then she grins so big. What am I to do with her? She is still not walking yet. I believe that she figures that there is no need for walking since she can crawl everywhere she needs to be. I will just be patient and let her grow up in her own time.

We celebrated Alexis' birthday at her aunt Stephanie's house. Where our close friends and family got together to wish her a good birthday. Stephanie and I slaved all day long on a pink castle cake. I also rushed to make a princess cake for Alexis to have herself. She was spoiled with lots of fun gifts; a singing bear, a singing purse, new clothes, blocks, a Tinkerbell doll, a push toy, a puppy(plush), coloring books, crayons, a bubble machine, stickers, a potty chair, and sippy cups. She already loves her new toys although she's not a huge fan of the potty yet. LOL! I am starting to get rid of her bottles and switch to sippy cups. Easier said than done. I never realized how much of a comfort item the bottle is to Alexis. She will get it eventually.

Happy Birthday Alexis!!

Ouch!

Today Alexis had her first injury. She was walking aroung the coffee table, lost her balance, and smacked her mouth on the table. I picked her up to comfort her and Luther told me she was bleeding. Her bottom teeth cut the roof of her mouth. Ouch. I gave her a cold rag to suck on and she's fine. I was just hoping the first injury would be later rather than sooner. I still feel bad for my little girl. It's strange how much empathy you have for your children.
