Hanging out on the front porch.
Like father like daughter:)
Checking out the elephants from Daddy's shoulders.
Brushing the animals at the zoo.
Pictures of Alexa on the pier at the lake near our house.
I can't believe Alexa is 18 months old! It seem just like yesterday we were dying to go to Vietnam to get her. It's so hard to believe that we will have had her for a year next month. She is changing so much and is so much fun. She is a very busy little girl and never stops. She loves to go to the playground and climb up all the steps and go down the slides by herself (which scares mommy to death). She is starting to talk a lot and knows her eyes, nose, ears, mouth and knees, etc. She can do most of her animal sounds when you ask what they say but her favorite is "mooo" which is what she says for most things. She can put her shoes on (of course on the wrong feet and can't buckle them but she likes to try). My favorite is when we go somewhere and get out of the car she pats her head and says "hair bow"...she knows mommy doesn't get her out of the car without one:) She loves her bath still and every time we change her diaper she says "bath?". She's turning into a little girl now which is kinda sad but at the same time she is getting more fun every day.
