Happy Halloween

I've never been much for Halloween.  I haven't enjoyed dressing up since I was about 10 years old and frankly whenever I had to, all it did was stress me out.  Well I have to say, I think I'm going to like Halloween from now on.  Or at least as long as I have little ones to enjoy it with.  I had so much fun picking out an outfit for Alexis. I contemplated between a cow, monster, pig, hotdog, monkey...they were all cute. I ended up picking a monkey outfit and boy did she look adorable!

Here are some pictures of Alexis in her Halloween costume.  We'll be sharing some professional photos soon! 

Happy, Happy Halloween!!!!!

You can find "Everything" at Babies 'R' Us

Half way to Alexis' 1st Birthday

Today Alexis is 6 months old.  Not only is it hard to believe it's already been 6 months but I can hardly believe how much Alexis has changed in such a short time.  She's become such a little person and I see more and more of her dad in her as she grows.  Soon she'll be crawling...walking...talking...growing up entirely too fast.  As I rock her at night and hold her as she sleeps, I find myself wishing time could stand still.  I wish those silent moments, holding my very own miracle, could last forever.  Even though that is all just wishful thinking, it does make me take a step back and enjoy that extra minute of silence....just me and my daughter. 

Below are pictures from this beautiful fall weekend! 

 

Alexis loves to go for walks



She's sitting up on her own...with a little help of course

Alexis is always smiling..she's the happiest baby!
