Lexi went to her first pool party at Olivia's house. The girls all had a great time together - the water was just a little too cool for their liking so they splashed in it instead!

Pool Party
It's been such a long time . . .
since we have blogged because we were getting ready for Auntie Deb to visit! Aunt Deb (Rick's sister) came to meet Alexis for the first time - the two of them had a lot of fun together and Lexi has been missing her buddy. We visited the zoo and went swimming while Deb was here. We also did some shopping so that Auntie Deb could spoil her favorite niece! She brought along lots of new books, toys, clothes, and shoes, too. Thank you Auntie Deb for coming all the way from New York to meet me and for all the new things you brought me!
Aunt Deb reading me one of the new books she brought me about the farm. 
My new safari hat to wear at the zoo from my Aunt Deb.
Splashing in the fountains at the pool.
Auntie Deb bought me my very first Elmo doll! "I love this thing and it is just my size."
This post wouldn't be complete without mentioning my 1st Mother's Day. Alexis treated me like the Queen (she's the princess going on Queen). It all began the Saturday before when she and her dad went out for a few hours to get some surprises for mommy. She came back with a bouquet of flowers and lots of smiles! The next morning (the official Mother's Day - isn't everyday mother's day?) she woke me up and had 2 balloons for me. We went off to church and then we went to the Westin Kierland Resort for a delicious brunch. She had a few other gifts for me in a bag, but the best gift of all was when she said "Mama" for the first time! It couldn't have been more appropriate than to say it for the first time on Mother's Day. It was a wonderful day and I felt very appreciated and loved.

Finally, a picture of her two bottom teeth.
Helping mommy with dishes (let's hope she remembers how in 10 years).
Look at me, "I'm only holding on with one hand!"

8 Months Old
A day in the life of an 8 month old baby girl:
7 am: Time to wake up and say Good Morning to my Daddy. I tell him hello on the monitor and then he comes to get me out of bed. (Mommy is out jogging so it is just me and my dad) I play and daddy sings to me as he gets ready for work.
8 am: Mommy is home from her jog and it is time to wave bye-bye to Daddy as he kisses us goodbye.
8:30 am: It's time for some milk - I'm hungry (it's been 12 hrs. since I had a drink)! After my milk I have a Goldilocks's size bowl of oatmeal and a jar of prunes. Yummy - breakfast is my favorite meal of the day!
9 am: Bath time. Rub-a-Dub-Dub I love playing in the tub.
9:30 am: All the eating and bathing has me tired. I'm ready for my morning nap.
11:30 am: Time for some more milk and then lunch. Wonder what mom has planned for lunch today: fruit, veggies, yogurt?
12 noon: Storytime, Swim lessons, shopping, a playdate, a few errands to run - whatever activity mom has on the agenda it is time to take a ride and get out of the house for awhile.
2:30 pm: I think I'll take an afternoon snack now. More milk, please. And when I am done with my milk, I would like a few Che*rios and my sippy cup with water.
3 pm: It's naptime!
4:30 pm: Time to take a walk to the park and see the kids play in the splash pad (boy, I can't wait till I can splash around with them).
5:30 pm: I'd like to have some milk and then some chicken for dinner. After I eat all my dinner, I usually get to have a cookie (baby rice cracker).
6:00 pm: Daddy's home - time to give him a rock star welcome! Yeah! (I really love my mom, but it is always nice to see my daddy at the end of the day)
8:00 pm: After mommy and daddy read me a book, I'm going to have a little bedtime snack (aka. milk).
8:30 pm: Night, night mommy and daddy! I love you!
Alexis with her "milk mustache". I think she is cute enough for a Got Milk? ad in a parenting magazine, don't you?

Auntie Sage Graduates
On Saturday, Auntie Sage graduated from the University of Phoenix. We went to the ceremony at the new football stadium and then to lunch at El Encanto. We met Sage's family from California for the first time and had a great time socializing with everyone and celebrating with margaritas!
Alexis loves her Auntie Sage - especially when she comes to play with her every week!

Little Fins
Alexis had her first swim lesson this week. She loves the water and enjoys splashing around!
Ready for the pool - with baby crocs, sun hat, and her cover-up.
Having a blast chatting with her friend, Olivia!
