My baby girl....

I wanted to hurry and just jot down some stuff about my baby girl :)

Alexis has been mine and Jonathon's whole world for the past 4 years... I've been trying to catch up on scrapbooks and things before the baby comes, because I know I probably won't ever get to it if I don't. So I've been going through old pictures of Alexis and watching old videos. I seriously cannot believe that my baby girl is 4 years old. Jonathon and I did not plan on having a baby so soon. Alexis was a huge surprise. I didn't even know I was pregnant with her until I took a test on Jan. 11, 2006. We went to the Doctor a couple of days later I believe, and he said that I was already 13 weeks along. We were shocked to say the least. My pregnancy with her went by very quickly and before we knew it she was here. Alexis was breech my whole pregnancy.. so I had to have a c-section. We were only at the hospital for maybe an hour and a half and then she was there. She was so tiny and precious!! From that day on Alexis has been my number one priority :)
Now she is so independent and just so grown up already. Right now some of Alexis' favorite things are.. Chocolate Milk, Reading books before bedtime, Sorcia and Izzy, Playing Outside, Playing guitar and singing (the other day she asked me if I will be there when she has a song on the radio!) She loves to play dress up, she loves to dreesup as a cheerleader, dancing, waffles, mac n' cheese, horses, puzzles, dressing up like a cowgirl, brushing her teeth, Disney channel, Preschool, Recess candy bars, practicing writing her name, talking and singing to my belly, Ami's dog Shadow, and wrestling on the bed with her dad.
She is such a busy body.. and will just go and go all day long. Alexis still comes up with the funniest sayings.. I don't even know where she gets some of the things she says.. But she sure does keep us laughing. She is so excited for Halloween and keeps asking me when it will be here :) She loves going over to Sorcia and Izzy's or having them come play over here. From the minute she wakes up she'll ask "Mom, when will Sorcia and Izzy be out of school?"
Alexis has a really great imagination. She can keep herself entertained for hours.. just playing some sort of pretend game. It's funny to watch because she'll talk to herself and make it really dramatic!! If I let her.. she'd jump on the tramp and play outside all day long! She likes to act out different parts of her favorite movies.. For instance she loves the movie "Bolt" right now. In the movie the little girl has a dog.. so Alexis will go get her stuffed dog and act out her favorite parts of the movie! I really think that Alexis could be a little actress and I'm sure people that know her would say the same thing.
She can definitely be a little drama queen.. but a cute drama queen! She can't wait till her baby sister gets here.. and I know that she'll be such a wonderful big sister!
Alexis still loves to cuddle right between Jonathon and I before bedtime. She'll usually fall asleep that way and then I'll put her in her bed. Jonathon and I enjoy cuddling with her just as much! Even though I am so anxious for the baby to come.. I'm trying to enjoy this time with Alexis, because I know it won't ever be the same. I love Alexis more than I could ever explain! She is so beautiful and still gets at least 2-3 comments on her hair every day :) I'm so proud of her already!
