A sweet & sassy personality :)

Our sweet princess is growing SO fast, I just can't grasp it ! Everyday she is learning new words and overcoming yesterdays obstacles. Over the last month or two, her sweet but sassy personality has been shinning through those pearly whites ! She is becoming such a sweet, loving, giggly, caring, and curious,  little girl, as well as she is becoming a very independent, outspoken, determined, demanding and sassy little girl. Words can't even begin to explain how much I love her and how much I am enjoying staying home with her everyday teaching, learning, and watching her bloom into HER own individual self.

Never does a day go by where she isn't making my day a million times better ! Her HUGE carefree/heart warming smile just melts my heard into pieces. Her sweet little giggles brings tears of joy to my eyes. Her sweet little conversations we have together is indescribable ! Being able to wake up to her sweet voice singing my name is what makes my world go round :)

Alexa, 

I know I tell you this each and every day, but " I love you more then the sun, More then the moon, More then ALLL the stars above, Thats how much I Love You" You have changed my life from the second I saw you on the sonogram screen, you were just as carefree then as you are now :) You are constantly making me laugh and smile through out the day. Even though your listening skills are still in the works and you are learning the small word "discipline", I still love you more and more each day !! You are not even 2 yet, and I am SO PROUD of you !! I am so lucky to have such a smart, talented, curious little girl like you ! I love how you are always wanting to learn more, how you wake up signing and laughing, I love how everytime I see you, you hug and kiss me.. even if you just hugged and kissed me 2 min before. I love how you tell me every day " mommy, I love you" and blow me a kiss afterwards. I love you SO MUCH Alexa !!!

The last time we took the girls here they were 5 and 6 months old, and as you can see from the picture of them when they were babies to now, nothing has changed ( haha ) 

 Alexa left  ( 5 months old and  Avery right ( 6 months old )

To now !

 Avery left  ( 20 months ) and Alexa right  ( 19 Months old )

Im not sure why, but Alexa ALWAYS has to drink the water l0l

Here it looks like one of the girls gave Alexa and Avery an idea, and Alexa is ALL ears and Avery is staring at Alexa like " Is this a good idea ? " l0l 

Alexa having the time of her life <3

Always so independent 

BEST FRIENDS :)

Here we are at Yogli Mogli, 

THE BEST FROZEN YOGERT PLACE OUT THERE !

As you can see Alexa is very excited to dig into our frozen yogurt.

After the girls had eaten their treat, they decided to be goofy and play around. 

they chased each other, laughed their butts off, pushed chairs around, and sat at the chalk board. 

unfortunately, we didn't get pictured of all of the fun that went on, Brittany and I as well were too busy laughing at the girls and having fun at Yogli Mogli :D

My BEAUTIFUL baby girl !!! Gosh do I love her more then life itself <3

She has been the GREATEST gift Blake and I could have ever asked for ! She is ALWAYS bringing me up when I am down, teaching me things no one could have ever taught me, and showing me the TRUE definition of LOVE <3 Waking up to her sweet little voice saying " momma, where areee you " simply makes my day 500x better then it already was <3

And after a LONG day of fun with her Best Friend Avery

 Alexa has passed out earlier then normal and is sound asleep Dreaming of sweet baby things <3

Week 26 !!

Today I am 26 weeks pregnant 2 more weeks till I'm officially 7 months  !!

Im becoming more and more anxious to meet Bryson and welcome him to our perfect little family <3 

Im trying SO hard to not drive myself crazy with getting his room ready, but I feel like being a stay at home mom isn't helping ( l0l ) I find myself constantly going into his room, just wanting everything to appear in place and all ready for his arrival :) Im happy that this time around I am not swelling like I did with Alexa, and that I am keeping a good weight gain !

HOW BRYSON IS GROWING:

The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. He may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. He's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of his lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when he's born and takes that first gulp of air. And he's continuing to put on baby fat. He now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches (an English hothouse cucumber) from head to heel. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take about two to three days.

She laughed so hard at one point that she was out of breath ! She met two girls who became her body guard and protected her from any kid who was too rough around her, It was VERY sweet !!!

Climbing into the foam fun house

 Playing in the balls :)

Getting her exercise on !

Dancing on the dance floor :)

With her daddy being out of town for work lately, Alexa has gone through some sad days where all she wants is her daddy. So to see her this happy and laugh so hard that day, brought smiles to my face :) She let out her free spirited self and had a blast !!

Best Friend's Forever

The other Day Alexa and Avery had yet another fun play date !! First we went to the pool, then we decided to have some more fun in the bathtub :) To then having a dance party on Alexa's Bed ( l0l) It makes me so happy to see how these girls have grown up together to now almost being 2 !! they talk to each other, hold each others hands, dance with each other, and so much more !!!

But as I was going through my pictures from this fun day they girls had, I ran across some old ones from when Brittany and I loved in the apartments and the girls were just becoming best friends !! I can't believe how much they have grown up in what seems like a blink of an eye :')

This was the start of their friendship <3
