Alexis' First Birthday!

Our little girl turned one in August! She is such a little light and made our family so complete!
She is still a horrible sleeper (up 2-4x/night) even though she isn't nursing all that much! We started giving her whole milk and she isn't a huge fan just yet :/  She discovered that she loves eating muffins, chicken pesto pasta, and she still LOVES pancakes and waffles! She made her toys portable by putting them in her mouth (just like her Bubba used to). She isn't quite walking super long distance, per se, but she can take 4-7 steps by herself before she falls down! She loves to cruise along the furniture and let go from couch to couch! P-Mo came to visit and to help us celebrate her first birthday! We took a day and went to the national zoo where both Lexi and Caleb loved the pandas! She still babbles a lot, but her favorite word is Dadda! We call her Bonkey because she loves to throw her head back no matter where she is at (changing pad, high chair, couch, in someone's arms, etc)! We also call her squish face because she does just that - squishes her face up to smile or squeal depending on if you made her happy or mad! lol!!
At her first birthday she was 16 lbs 13 oz, 27.5 inches long and had 5 teeth!
Her invite:
12 months!

P-Mo made a great chalkboard sign for her party!
