Our little Beethoven

Alexa has really started to enjoy "playing" the piano. When she gets fussy and nothing else will do, we sit her on the bench and she'll be happy as can be. We even took a video of it so you could see and hear our little prodigy!

Alexa's New Toy

We bought this turtle floaty for Alexa. It makes going to the pool sooo much easier on us since we don't have to hold her the entire time now. She loves being in the pool. After her initial trepidation, she's really taken to it and loves to splash and play! She didn't even get scared of the water when we completely dunked her! She just took it in stride....and coughed since she swallowed a bit of water!! :-)

Daddy's Little Helper

Kevin is in the middle of exams for the summer semester and so he spends a lot of time studying at the computer. As you can tell, Alexa enjoys helping him! She loves the computer and will stare at the screen and pound on the keyboard. Is she a Legal Assistant in the making????

Happy 4th of July 2007!

This was Alexa's first Independence Day so we took her to her first fireworks show on Saturday night. Keeping her up past her bedtime of 7:00 wasn't very easy. We let her take a late nap, but you could tell she was wondering what she was doing still awake. She seemed to handle the fireworks okay though. She got a little fussy...but I think that had more to do with being tired than being scared. We went with our friends, Ben and Waveney Taylor and their kids Rhys and Sydney. Then, yesterday, on the 4th we had dinner with our friends, Kirk and Amanda Graves. I made my 4th of July cake that has become a tradition in our family. Alexa looked adorable in her red, white and blue outfit and we thought the "I'm Independent" on her shirt suited her quite nicely!! She's a sweet little girl...but is really starting to show her personality. Happy Independence Day!

Such a Happy Girl!

We really are blessed...Alexa is a happy baby and such a joy to have in our lives. We love her so much and are so grateful for the sweetness she brings into our home and family.

Am I Wearing a Toupee?

We thought this was pretty funny...when we comb Alexa's hair forward, it looks like a hairpiece!!. She's still pretty darn cute though!

View from our Apartment

After a couple requests, we decided to let ya'll see what we see when we look out our windows. A little taste of Kentucky. We love the summers because everything is so green and pretty. It may look like we live in a forest, but we're actually only 5 minutes from downtown.

Mmmmm...tasty!!

Such Pretty Eyes!

Alexa has the most beautiful blue eyes. She also loves her binky and often puts it back in her mouth upside down. It's pretty cute to see her bottom lip sticking out!

Giggles

7 Months Old!

Typical Girl

Happy one second...not so happy the next - what a girl we've got on our hands!!

Alexa's First Trip to the Zoo. We got to see the new baby elephant that was born in March. By the end of our visit, Alexa wasn't too happy having to keep her hat on!
