Kick!

Even though she doesn't change the expression on her face, I'm certain she likes swimming.

Shout out!

We stopped by Westside Cyclery tonight to play a little game of Hosier Daddy. 

Lil trike

Alex needs a bike sponsor.  Anyone?  Anyone?

mmmm BEER

Billy Rae took full advantage of "the offerings" at the bike shop.

cooler on wheels

I would like one of these please.

French fried taters, and mustard saaaauuuce

I told you she liked it.

Um, Jack...wacha doin?

We went swimming again, cuz it's Mama's favorite thing in the whole world to do with Alex.  

We invited Jack, they're on the same swim team.  He wants a piece of Alex.  

You can see the K-Man in the background, he's real hard to capture a still photo of these days, on a counta he moves so fast.

After swimming part du

After swimming pic.  Her eyes weren't even at half staff this time.

Grandma Sunshine

Grandma Sunshine came in for a visit.  You can see that we gave her some old fire boots and put her to work...thanks mom.

Swimming!

I took Alex swimming today.  We had so much fun.

Today gave me great hope that she's gonna do well in the swimsuit portion of the Pageant. 

Lil swimmer

half capacity

After swimming...she's all tuckered out.  In fact, she's so tired that her eyes only open to half capacity.  

Uncle T-Rav

Where does she get those great big eyes?  

Just when you think the song is over...

Did you know how many verses there were to the song?

tan lines

From Arctic temps to record highs...gotta love tan lines in January.

I think my ankles look really skinny in this pic.

HaterAid

Meet cousin Kelly.  She has hair extensions from India.  She also told her little brother that she used to have a kangaroo before he came along and ruined everything.  

Well, cousin Kelly doesn't care for babies.  Here is Alex asking her why she sips on the HaterAid.

Family night

Most of the time in Michigan was spent looking at the chicken.  Here is a picture of everyone smiling and giggling with her and her newly found facial expressions.

Later tire

Saying goodbye to the tire.

"Stop!"

I just needed a full belly laugh tonight.
I know it's a repeat entry, and I also know that I'm an awful, awful person for enjoying this sooooooo much, but just put your morals aside and laugh with me.
I especially like it when she says, "Stop!", and then I also really enjoy the noises she makes.

gone fishin'...

Dear Virtual Friends,
I'll be back to my regular blogging schedule this week when I return to America. I'm in Detroit visiting the giant tire...stay tuned.
Kennequa

bunny suit

We woke up to a surprising snowfall this morning.  I wanted to go sledding, but the chicken is not quite big enough.  Next year...I have a real good hill picked out with our names on it.  So we put on her bunny suit and made the best of it.

Future firefighter

Our little future firefighter sure had rosey cheeks when we came inside.

Famous quote of the day

"She has cankles on her wrists."

Here is the chicken showing off the cut of her jibb again.

Holy cow

I think Lori and I just look amazing in this picture.

Bumbo and the elephant

This cool little invention is called a Bumbo.  It gives Alex a whole new perspective on the world, being able to sit up like that.  Know what else is cool?  Her elephant on her wrist.  Ask her, she'll tell you all about it.

BAPA

Bapa came by today.  Alex was tired during his visit, but you can tell she likes him by the way she holds his thumb.

Two Chicks

Check out her shirt.  Thanks Hot Tomato girls!

Oh girrrrlllll...

A little break from the cutest baby in the world.
I absolutely come undone listening to these news casters.
Thanks to Johnny Cakes for bringing this to my attention.

All clean

Splash!

Alex loves her baths.

Alex is going to be just fine

This kid is gonna go places.  I can tell by the way she is smiling and telling me to eff off at the same time.  

No lie

I told you guys she was good at sucking her thumb.  

A fairy is born

Alex giggled for the first time yesterday.  It was UBER cute.  

Legend has it, when a baby laughs for the first time, a fairy is born.  (Kind of like when a bell rings, an angel gets his wings.)

I just hope that kid's parents are gonna be cool with him being gay.    

Lil' smokies

Nothing says "Happy New Year" like this spread.  Chips, Guac, Pizza, Lil' smokies and shrimp cocktail.
