Winter 2010

Okay, so I'm not the world's best person about updating my blog so a lot of these pictures are from before Christmas. We've had such a busy few months with all the holidays and everything that I just kept forgetting to update but it's finally here:) We really had a blast over Christmas with Alexa this year. She had so much fun opening her Christmas presents and screamed when she came down the stairs and saw her table and chairs and her doll stroller. I'm still trying to figure out where Nic saved all those pictures so I can put them on here too:)

Nic and I just had a wonderful weekend away in Gatlinburg with our Lexington friends. We hated to leave Alexa but we enjoyed getting away for a couple of nights and Alexa had a blast with her Grammy and Poppy in Georgetown. We weren't sure we were going to get to go because Alexa got sick a couple of days before our trip. It was the first time since we've had her that she has ever been sick so it was a little interesting. I just hope we don't get to repeat that again any time soon. As soon as we got home from our trip we started potty training the next morning. Let's just say that has probably been the most stressful and frustrating thing that Alexa and I have been through together...even more than going from a bottle to a cup:) Alexa is finally in Big Girl panties!!! Yay, I didn't think we were going to make it! After 7 accidents the first day I almost quit and I totally understand why people do, but she did go in the potty 3 times so I decided to press on. We had 4 accidents the second day, one the third day and by day number four it just clicked and she didn't have any accidents. I know we still have a long road ahead of us but I can't believe she is doing so well. I think I might actually survive this:)

It's hard to believe but Alexa is turning 2 this month! It kinda makes me sad but she is getting more fun every day and talking so much more so it's easier to communicate. I'm not sure what we are doing for her birthday yet but hopefully it will be a fun day for her.

Here are some pictures from the last couple of months. For some reason they uploaded in reverse order and I didn't fool with fixing it so the newest ones are first.

Alexa is trying to figure out her new toy shelf...in her new panties:)

Alexa decided she needed all 12 pairs of her new panties on...at the same time!

I had to help her a bit but she got them all on.

Alexa's new pigtails at the bottom of her hair.

She looks so grown up with her hair like this:(
