Our daughter is something else. Here are the many expressions of Alex. Just get her going and she will make you laugh. Here she is Miss Serious
Miss I don't want Mommy to take my picture so I will pretend I am playing with Chickie's hair
Miss Oh no I ate all the jelly beans
Miss Give me a smooch or I'll get ya
Here was our first attempt at coloring Easter eggs. Alex had a ball except she kept wanting to crack the eggs together. 
April 9 was the second anniversary of our Gotcha Day. A day that changed our lives in so many ways. The day our beautiful daughter was placed in our arms. My-- how she has grown and blossomed and enriched our lives. She is the sweetest girl and we love her so much. Here she is the day we were blessed to become her mommy and daddy
And here she is a big girl in her new toddler bed. (but she will always be our baby in our hearts). I told her to give me a thumbs up if she liked her new bed. I guess she liked it.
We recently bought our little sweetie some fingerpaints and did she love them. She has made everyone a picture and we now have artwork on our refrigerator.
My friend Stephanie and I took Alex and Audrey to see Disney Princesses on Ice. It was really good. Alex seemed to really like it but she kept turning to me and saying "Rella" for Cindarella. I guess that is the one she wanted to see the most and of course that was the one at the very end. Here she is with her princess wand. Almost all the kids were dressed up, I didn't know they did that or I would have put her in a princess dress. Oh well -- 1st time mom. We had alot of fun and the girls were really cute together.
After Disney Princesses on Ice, Steph, Steve, and I took the girls to Champps for lunch. They were so cute together. Alex is finally starting to say "Audrey" (Audee) and she asks for her all the time. They were hugging each other -- it was so cute.
Little girl cuteness
This is what I walked in on the other day when I went to check on Alex after she said she had to go potty. She can get herself on and off the potty so I usually let her and then check on her in a few minutes. She told me "Book, Mommy". This toddler cuteness just cracks me up
Sooooo-- my daughter has become very independent and part of that independence has to do with her clothing. She wants to pick out her own clothes, dress herself, and call it a day. So these pictures are a product of her independence. Heaven help us all if you want her to wear something specific and she has it in her mind that she is not going to wear it. I asked her if I could take her picture and she immediately said yes and sat and did these poses. Hilarious!!!!
My friends recently came to visit and we had a great time. I made dinner for them and 3 of my friends from work, we went to the spa and downtown to a new restarant, and we went to Chinese New Year. Here are a few pictures from their visit. Aunt Suzy above and Aunt Catie below
This is the group I had over for dinner at my house.
