The Dancing Queen

Do you think Alexis has a future career on "Dancing with the Stars"?
Check out her moves...

Better late than never...

Ok, so Alexis' birthday was over a week ago, which means I am a little late posting these pictures... but I wanted everyone to see the fun birthday party she had at her babysitter Beth's house!

Her best buddy Jake showing her what "1" is...

Hittin' the books together...

Over the Hill

Alexis is getting up there in age... yesterday she turned one year old! We had a little party with just the three of us, and then tonight we had a bigger party. Here are a few pictures to document her major milestone...

Here is Alexis playing with her barn magnet matching toy...
it plays music and she dances!

Sending a letter in her new mailbox... thank you Uncle Scott for the silent toy. Check out the caterpillar on the table... thank you Uncle Brian and Aunt Melissa for the extra extra loud toy... we will be sure to remember this and repay the favor when you have children... heeheeheee. :)

She's got her eye on that cupcake...

The cupcake didn't stand a chance.

The Wild Washerwoman

You may not know this, but Alexis is the reigning world champ in the new ultra-competitive sport of "Laundry Basket Emptying"...
Look at her go!

Needless to say, any folded laundry gets puts high up,
out of her reach...

In this picture it looks like the laundry has gotten the best of her...
See her reaching out for help?

The gold medal champ deserves a break after her long battle!

Happy Baby

Alexis has turned out to be an amazing walker, now that she doesn't have any fluid in her ears to throw her off balance anymore. She still walks like Frankenstein, which is pretty funny to watch. Here are a few pictures of her from our weekend... just us girls, since Cort has been in Las Vegas for a few days.

Alexis being attacked by her new dog Cujo...

Looking svelte in horizontal stripes...
If only we could all pull off that look.

Check out her two little teeth... we are wondering if she will ever get any more, since those two popped through 4 months ago, and we haven't seen any new ones since!

It's over!

The surgery is over, and it was a success!

Here is a picture of Alexis in her tiny little hospital gown...
