Lexi loves music! Shocking, I know. ha! For a couple weeks anytime she heard music, she had to dance. It's not normal "dancing" though... She isn't standing up. She is actually sitting down. And it might be one of the funnier things we've since her do yet.

Birthday at Home
We decided to spend Lexi's actual birthday (Jan. 19th) at home, just the 3 of us. We already had a big party in Iowa, and she is too young to understand what's going on. Next year we'll do something more special. It was fun to just be home that evening, as a family. It is so hard for me to believe, that my little baby is 1. The past year seriously flew by! We are so thankful to the Lord, that He chose to bless us with this sweet baby girl!
Birthday Party in Iowa
This post is long over-due! We had Lexi's "big" 1st birthday party while we were back in Iowa. It was very important to Mike & I that our families were apart of her big day! I didn't get many pictures on our camera. Hopefully I'll get copies from anyone else who took pictures that day! :)

Thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate Lexi's birthday. Even though we live far away, we still want Lexi to know her extended family. Which also means... we think Nashville is a great vacation spot for anyone in our families!! :) And we will soon be in a house, so you are more than welcome to visit any time!

Happy 1st Birthday Lexi!
I cannot believe how fast this past year has flown by. Our baby is 1! Neither of us knew what to expect the 1st year on this amazing journey of parenthood. We are continually blown away by God's goodness to us. Mike & I are so thankful for this life that was given to us. We look forward to watching this beautiful child grow and being able to teach her about our wonderful Savior!
We love you Lexi Bear!
We love you Lexi Bear!

Christmas in Iowa
We traveled up to Iowa a couple days after Christmas and spent about a week & a half there. It was crazy busy as usual, but we are so thankful to be able to see all of our families every time we visit! This trip was pretty hard on Lexi though. We were going to split up the drive both ways and stay at Chad's in St. Louis. Well, we decided to drive the whole 12 hours, no stopping at Chad's, both ways. What were we thinking???? On the way back home, we were thinking we wanted to get home so she could see her doctor in the morning. The day before we left, we took her to a doctor and found out she had ear infection. Then, when we got back and took her to her doctor, we found out she had croup. Our drive home was pretty miserable. She couldn't breath well and kept coughing. She is all better now, but those few days when we got home were pretty sad. We'll have to take it a little easier on her next time!
So cute!!

Lexi loved playing w/her cousins.
Painting w/pudding. She was such a girly girl about it. I guess she doesn't like to get her hands dirty.
Lexi learned how to climb stairs. We tried to block off the stairs when we were all in the basement. She thought she could still manage to get through. She got stuck. :)
Blocking off the other set of stairs. She loved climbing them... thought she was pretty big stuff!
Just doing what Grandma showed her to.
A drawer full of lids!! What could be more exciting?!?!!

All 3 of the little blond-headed girls! :)
Natalie & Lexi loved playing together!! Wish they could play together more often!
Lexi stood up and grab Uncle Chad's finger before she realized who it was. The look on her face says it all.

Christmas Eve & Christmas Day
Even though Lexi didn't really have a clue what was going on this year, it was still fun to spoil her a little. :) We very much enjoyed getting to spend our 1st Christmas with her at home, just the 3 of us!
