A Day in the Life...

All of these videos take place on different days, but they give you an idea of what a typical day in our world entails....Enjoy!

When Kevin studies at home, Alexa is constantly looking for him since he shuts himself in the office/spare room to keep our curious little girl out. She'll knock on the door and keep saying "da-da" over and over, which I'm sure helps Kevin with his studying!! Of course, as soon as I grab the camera though, she stops what she's doing!

This is how Alexa "reads" books. She goes back and forth between books and has to hold them herself. She usually jabbers on and on "telling" us her own version of the story which means we don't get a lot of actual reading in!

Alexa has her own corner of the living room where her toys are situated. She's getting better at entertaining herself for longer moments which is nice for me so that I can get a few things done here and there.

Our Little Chatterbox!

The image of Alexa at 13 just flashed before me!!! Oh wait, that's her at 14 months! Oh my, what do we have in store??? This is seriously one of her favorite things to do, she wanders around the house with the phone attached to her ear, saying "haaaaaiii" (use your best southern belle voice!). It makes me smile though because it's one more thing that proves she definitely is MY daughter, not that there was any question....but growing up my mom would find it humorous to go to parent/teacher conferences for me because my teachers always said the same thing "she's great, we love having her in class, straight A's...blah, blah, blah (yes, I am tooting my own horn!).....but she really does love to talk, doesn't she?!" Like mother, like daughter! Happy Valentine's Day Alexa, you have filled my life with so much love!

THANK YOU!!!

Thank you to my fabulous friend Amanda for helping make my blog look so darn cute....and more up to date! We love the new look and appreciate all her time and hardwork! Amanda, you're the best!
