I love swimming!

Mommy took me swimming today!  The bath is fun, but swimming in a Florida pool is the best! 

My Mommy's B-day present!

My daddy got mommy a really special birthday present this year!
My mommy wanted to get a tatoo of MY name on her wrist, so Daddy surprised her with it. She had to wait a month till they could schedule her and last night she got it!

I can't read it yet, but when I get older I know I'm going to think it's really cool!

What can I say, my mommy loves me SO mcuh!

My first Field Trip!

I had a mini vacation day with my Uncle Bob, Aunt Debbie and cousins.
They took me to Lancaster, PA. It's Amish Country. I got to go for a horse and buggy ride, eat at Shady Maple and see lots of green grass and covered bridges!
Take a look at my day!

Thanks Uncle Bob and Aunt Debbie!
I love you!

Next week...

Wednesday the 27th my mommy and I are going on a plane to Florida to see my Grandpop and Grandmom. Daddy has his "guys weekend" at the cabin so it was perfect timing!

I promised my mommy I would be a good girl on the plane so she knows she can take me back!!!

I am very excited for my first vacation!
I'll have plenty of pictures when I return on May 2nd.

Love to you all!

My favorite Easter present...

I'm just like every other child...I liked what my easter basket came in!

Listen to the noise I can make with these wrappers!

My first Easter Day!

Happy Easter everyone!!!

Today Granny had the family to the Philadelphia Cricket Club for an Easter brunch.

It was a beautiful day; 85 degrees! I got to see an Easter Bunny, participate in an egg hunt, we had a family picture taken, and I got to open a really cool Easter basket from my Grandmom and Grandad.

Here's a few pictures of my day!
This is me before I left the house...

Here I am with my Long cousins and Granny...

Blessings to All!

Friday night with...

the Easter Bunny!

Mommy and her girlfriend Debbie took me to see the Easter Bunny at the 263 indoor Market. He wasn't the nicest looking Easter Bunny but mommy said "it's ok, it was free"!!!

I'll go to anybunny...take a look!

Have a Blessed Easter everyone!

Alexis!

Random pics...

Here I am in a pair of sunglasses.

This is what happens when you don't feel good and you just can't take any more.

I'm not afraid of a big white cat! This is my Aunt Debbie's cat Romeo. He's a friendly cat and I like how soft he is.

Here I am with out Romeo!

I've discovered I'm even MORE like my daddy...I have an obsession with holding the remote!

My trip to Grammy's House!

I took my first Road Trip!!!
We surprised Grammy with a visit for her Birthday! It was also Grandpa's Birtday! We got there Friday night and came home on Sunday. Although I don't have a picture of it right now, I did get to meet my Aunt Kristy too! What a joyful weekend! I unfortunately went up with a bit of a cold and came home with an aweful chest cold along with a nasty cough. I still had a great time though.

Grammy loved me and made me feel comfortable,

Grandpa talked to me and watched cartoons with me!

Aunt Kristy played with me and the dogs nicely watched me play!

Saturday was especially nice with a visit from Aunt Brooke, Uncle Mark and my cousin Roland. It was fun to all be together for the birthdays!

Thanks for having me Grammy! Can't wait to see you all soon!

I love you!

Six-month check-up.

My Mommy's a little late in reporting my growth stats, so here goes.
Mommy took me for my six-month check-up on April 14th.
I am in the 48.81% of growth percentile based on weight-for-age.
I am in the 63.14% of growth percentile based on length-for-age.
I am in the 54.34% of growth percentile based on head circumference-for age.

I weighed in at 15 lbs 15.2 oz. (Five days later I was back at the doctors for a cold and I weighed 15 lbs 10 oz.) I am getting bigger and stronger but still no teeth.

I'm able to start Stage 2 baby food and I will start to get one more feeding (of solid food) a day! Mommy's game plan with me is to try to stop my Zantac in two months and in another month I can try Soy formula to see if my tummy can tolerate it!

Exciting times are ahead of me!
Thanks for staying up to date with me!

As seen on

Computers and TV's everywhere...
Videos of babies laughing are a big hit! I can do it too!

While Daddy was talking with me he suddenly startled me and that was the beginning of it all! I quickly learned that my daddy was a funny guy! All it took was him saying "boo" to me.

I'm six months old today!!!

Happy six month Birthday to me!!! I'm a half a year old!
It turned out being a beautiful, sunny, 86 degrees day! I got to spend most of the day outside with my cousins and I even got to take a nap outside in the fresh air!

Take a look at my day!
This is me enjoying my first bottle of the day!

Of course I have toys to play with while I getting changed! Notice my big blue eyes!

This is me outside with my cousins Taylor, Myranda and Tannor.

Just me! "What do you mean, do I want to go inside?"

I told my Aunt Debbie I wanted to nap outside in the fresh air! Look at all my toys I get to play with!

Awake and spending time in the grass...what's grass?

Back inside waiting for mommy to pick me up!

It was also my first dinner in my new high-chair! I loved it!

What an eventful day!

Guess What?

Look what Mommy and Daddy bought for me!!!

This will be the place I grow up in...it will be all I know...it's going to be my HOME!!!

It's a four bedroom, two and a half bath single house in Warrington.  I will have a really big room and a beautiful, large great room to play in.

We make closing on our condo and settlement on our house June 15th!

We are all very excited!

Our sophisticated

little girl.

Watch out America...here comes Alexis Marie!

Isn't this too funny?

My Granny's 89th Birthday Celebration!

We had a wonderful, surprise Grand Tea Party for my Granny's 89th Birthday. It was an afternoon full of surprises!

We walked in to Aunt Carol's house and our cousin Kathleen (Scott's wife) was standing there! She flew in from Chicago to see all of us! What a wonderful surprise! She is very beautiful and I loved her long hair!

Speaking of long hair, my cousin Andrea has long hair and she is very pretty too!

My Granny has six Great Grandchildren and three of us were able to make the ladies tea! Here I am with my cousins Sorrell and Morgan.

 I learned some new technology and got to meet my cousin Scott (who was in Chicago) through a Webcam.

It was a beautiful afternoon and a fun way to celebrate my Granny. I love when she holds me!

She makes me laugh.

Here we all are!

We certainly missed Kate, Sophie, Heidi and Lucy.
