Alexis is 11 months

Alexis is 11 months! 28 days ago... Seriously. She's going to be 1 in two days, and I am just writing about this. 

Alexis, Alexis, Alexis... She is just the sweetest. She loves her mommy so much. But she also has a strong personality. Like if the kids want to kiss her and she's just not in the mood, she pushes them away. And if we give her food or a toy she doesn't want, she picks it up and tosses it. She plays with toys a little, but mostly she likes to make messes- the dishes, the books, the DVDs,... She took 3 steps about 2 weeks ago and she can now take about 5 before dropping on her butt. She sleeps great at night, but her naps are all over the place. I blame summer and being the 4th child for that.

We accidentally all dressed in purple.

The mess

11 months the day after the 4th of July

She loves to cuddle with stuffed animals.

That little butt is just too cute, and her hair so long.

I love that smile of hers. She loves bathtime.

I was trying to get her to take a nap. She didn't like that.

Kendall helps her to practice her walking daily.

Taking her to restaurants is a nightmare, so we have to inhale our food.

She enjoys helping me mop and pick up toys, as long as the vacuum stays far away.

Peek-a-boo, I see you!

She recognizes her cousins because we see them often. She occasionally crawls over to them to snuggle (or maybe she wanted his candy...)

We tried to do a smash cake but she wasn't into it. Her hand is messy because I stuffed it into the cake.

Logan likes to feed Alexis like a birdy. It's cute now...
