Alexandra May

Today our sweet little girl turned 2! Time flies. She has been such a delighful child to raise, always so happy and pretty obedient. Her smile and laugh are infectious! She is very aware of other people's feelings and observant of her surroundings. Right out of the womb she was staring at everyone that held her - like a deep soul stare! This picture is of her handing me my Mother's Day gift, beautiful flowers. She won't pose for the camera. Stinker.

Yesterday we celebrated her b-day with our familes at a combined Mother's Day dinner at Chris' parent's house. She loved her gifts, a tutu from Grandma Sue and a trike from G & G Andrus, just to name a couple.
The gluten-free cupcakes were a hit!

Today we had a little cupcake party with some of her neighborhood friends. We love cupcakes. Who doesn't? We ended up stripping the girls down so they wouldn't get their shirts dirty. I love this picture, Bentley eating her cupcake like a dog, Alex happy to be eating cupcakes again, Helen and Mayet focused on the task at hand. So cute.

Alex likes to act silly and rough house withe boys, older ones especially! She is curious and observant - when I get off the phone she asks, "whad say?" She minds pretty well and is very helpful with baby sister. She is independent and such a joy to have in our family. I look forward to the future with her but for now, I love all her precious moments. I'm lucky to be her mother! Happy Birthday Ally Magoo!
