We decided to let Alexis really experience her first real snowfall by playing outside for a few short minutes. She loved that fluffy white stuff. She even made a snow angel. (A note: We were only outside for about 3 minutes, her nose wasn't even cold :)
Alexis, thanks to mama nini, has learned to play patty cake and clap. She just randomly claps all day long. (Sorry the video is sideways, I couldn't figure out how to fix it.
Our friend Tom (www.tomspics.com) took these for Alexis's 6 month pictures.. I am so excited to see the rest.. I'll post some of them as soon as I get them.
Alexis is going to be 6 months old next week. It is so amazing how time flies.. she used to be so tiny (see above..she was probably 1 week old there). Tim and I are so blessed by her everyday and we can't wait to see what she has in store for our lives.
I just had to share this new photo of Alexis taken by Jamie Alley (Aunt Jaimie's sister in law) in Chicago last weekend. Aunt Jaimie bought her her first tutu while we were there. We always have a great time visiting Aunt Jaimie and Uncle Matt and their family.
Here is one of my favorite photos from Christmas morning at our house. Alexis loved her fish bowl and ring stack. We had such a great holiday season and I can't believe its already over. We celebrate with our families and friends about ten different times. We also started our own family tradition of making an ornament with Alexis each year. Here is a photo of her making her handprint clay ornament.
