Happy Birthday Alexa!!!
It's hard to believe it's already happened but Alexa is now 1. It kinda makes me sad that she is growing up so fast but at the same time she is getting more fun every day. She is now starting to walk. She is getting a lot more confident with it and will now let go of the furniture on her own and take about 7 or 8 steps. She still has her 4 little teeth but she is working on a couple of new ones. We had her one year checkup the other day and the doctor said she was doing great! She weighs 2o lb 2 oz and is 29-1/4" long. She is about 50% for height and 38% for weight. She's still trying to get caught up on her vaccines so that wasn't fun. She knew as soon as the doctor walked in what was going to happen and just started crying. It's so funny how at such a young age they remember stuff like that.
Alexa is just such a joy and is such a fun and happy baby. We've had a string of really nice days recently so we've been enjoying some outdoor activities like going to the zoo and riding our bikes with Alexa in her little trailer to the park. She really loves being outside.
We had a great Birthday party with Alexa and enjoyed celebrating her special day. My thoughts and prayers were with Alexa's birth mother as I'm sure it was such a hard day for her and I just pray that she knows that Alexa is very loved. Here are some pictures from Alexa's party.
