some catch up

So it begins! The first purchases of food for Lexee. It has been so nice the past 6 months, we have barely spent anything on Lexee. Free food since we are breast feeding, and we got pretty much everything we needed at the baby showers including enough wipes to get us through her first year...haha ... or at least close, and we have only bought about 4 boxes of diapers on our own. It's been marvelous. So thanks to everyone who made it so nice for us! You are all so wonderful! But now I guess it's our turn to feel the weight. Little Lexee did pretty good eating rice cereal and baby food for the first time. We have started with butternut squash and rice cereal which she seems to like for the most part. She still prefers the breast, and so do I. So much more convenient and easy and FREE!! But I started back to work 5 hours a week at Avante salon and spa, so I need her to be able to eat. So anyway...These are the pictures for her first time eating mush

And we were SOOOO Lucky to have some family visit for New Years and longer... and I have such wonderful friends that got us all into the zoo for FREE cause they have zoo passes!! THANK YOU THANK YOU AGAIN!!

So my momma and Garrett got to come for a week and LUCKY us got to have Dally pooh stay for 3 WEEKS!! It was so awesome! We miss them all already!

And thanks to Sarah Darby for the idea of taking our little giraffe to see it's other family! There is a better picture that I need to get from Michelle where the giraffe's are much closer, but for now this is what we have.


Uncle Dally was being so kind to drop her off for us...

P.S. Notice the Giraffe's in the back ground SITTING!! I don't think I have ever seen giraffe's sit til that day!

And this was the first time that I have been to the Phoenix zoo where you could actually see the Lions! And boy are they beauties! He is such a handsome guy! Love those lions! Thanks for showing your face finally!
Cody, Lexee and I went for a walk, and Daddy always has the best ideas on how to carry little Lexee and keep her warm. She is in the wrap under the coat keeping those little tooties warm. I just kept cracking up cause she looked so funny in there. The picture doesn't do it justice. She looked like a growth coming out of his jacket. Such a riot! I couldn't get enough! Love this man and this adorable baby girl! I'll post the 6 month update when I get my pictures back from the JcPenney studio. :)
