6 months old/Snow suit

My princess is officially half a year old already! Time has always flown by but now that we have a daughter it's going by 20 x faster!

Here are some pictures I took for her 6 mths. We will be getting some done professionally next week along with her Halloween pictures.

Alexis is waving "hi!" with tons of drool!



This past week we went and bought Alexis a snow suit and a new hat and gloves for winter. We've been looking forward to buying her one since last winter (as much as I hate winter)

We found the snow suit at Old Navy and hat and there is matching gloves at Kohl's.

Such a happy baby!
We got the size 6-12 mths so it's kinda big on her but should fit her all winter.

New pictures

This is just a post with some random shots of Alexis. I take a lot more pictures on my phone..about 5 a day to send Kevin while he is at work so I just put them all on my computer. She always smiles a lot more for my phone camera since there is no bright red light unlike our camera. Here are some cute ones!
She loves to sit and play in her high chair. Usually I put about 10 different toys on the tray for her and she throws them off. Its pretty loud since we have hard wood floors!
Since Halloween is just about my favorite holiday I have to dress Alexis in Halloween gear!

Sitting up all by her self!
Grabbing her feet watching the Packer game. Her new favorite thing to do is eat her feet! We lay her on her changing table and right away she grabs her feet and starts to eat them. Then when we pull them away to change her she thinks shes funny and then rolls to her side. So goofy!
This was taken yesterday. Alexis LOVES Dakota! But Dakota is just kind of like ohhh boy..the baby! Dakota is very good around her though which is good.

Gerber Photo Contest

I just wanted to let every one know that I entered my sweet angel into the Gerber photo contest. She could win a $25,000 scholarship and a chance to be the next Gerber baby!

Voting has already started but you can vote once a day, every day til the end of the month.

This is the link for it : http://www.gerber.com/photo/?entryid=143799&/#/detail/

(If by chance the link does not work you can go to gerber.com and find the photo contest. When you get to that you can search for her. Type in Alexis and for city put Milwaukee and her cute picture should appear!)

Thanks every one! We appreciate it!

Alexis first time going to the zoo!

On Wednesday Sept. 29th my parents came in town so all of us could go to the Milwaukee Zoo. We've all wanted to go but waited for the weather to cool down a bit. The weather was absolutely perfect! High 60's...totally sunny!

Before we went to the zoo, we all went to lunch at Fudruckers.
A huge, giant vulture!
Family picture by the elephants. The one behind us I said was dancing..she kept swaying back and forth. It was so cute!
Very pretty Jaguar! Every big cat we see some how reminds us of your cat Dakota!
The big lions were right up to the window just staring at every one. It was so neat! Their paws were like the size of Alexis head! Of course the lions reminded us of Dakota also.
The adorable Red Panda!
3 Giraffes. It was neat watching them eat the trees with their big, black tongues.
Alexis was such a good little baby the whole time we were at the zoo! She stayed awake most of it and as long as she could see everything she was fine and "talking"
My parents by the brown bears.
Grandma and Alexis! Alexis was determined to get my moms hair in her mouth! Do you all like Alexis shirt? It has all sorts of animals on it...I thought it was perfect for a day at the zoo!
I don't remember what this type of snake is and I hate snakes but this was so cool to watch this snake raise up like this! He even got higher after we had shut our camera off. Sooo glad it was in a cage!





We all had a lot of fun! It was also so nice not dealing with the crowds that we would have dealt with if we had gone on a weekend or in the summer.

Besides it being Alexis first time to the zoo it was also Kevins first time going to the Milwaukee Zoo. They both had a blast!
