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.
Going for a little walk after brunch at the resort.
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!"
