Prescott and the Phx Zoo!

Friday we had a very quiet and peaceful ride up to Prescott.  We were there for the weekend to celebrate with The Hibberd's and their friends for Jackson's first birthday.  Let me just say that it was so wonderful to get to be a part of such a momentous occasion, Tamara and Nate did such a great job on the party.  I was pleasantly surprised by how well Lexi did at the party.  She wasn't glued to me and she even just went about her own business playing with toys and visiting other people.  The sweetest moment was when she crawled over to grandma and fell asleep in her arms.  Aside from the birthday party we got to spend a lot of time with grandma and grandpa.  My mom was in heaven on Monday morning when she ran home from work in the early am and Lexi reached out for her to hold her!  THEN it happened again when we went and surprised her at the end of the day at the health department.  It is so great to see my little girl go willingly to those who love her.  She has changed so much in a just a matter of weeks.  It didn't take long at all for her to remember her grandma and grandpa and we didn't have to spend 3 or more days getting used to them again.  It was a much needed and appreciated break of bottle giving and getting her to bed.  It melts my heart to watch my parents enjoy their time with her. 

At our favorite place in Prescott....Macayos patio

Today we meet with Becky and Hayden and spent the whole morning at the phoenix zoo.  It has been so long since I have been and there are so many neat new things there now.  I think Lexi really enjoyed it, even if she was people watching more then animal watching.  I love the zoo and am so glad that it is a place where Lexi and I can go together.  It was a great way to get some exercise and mommy time for Becky and I and I can't wait to go again!  Lexi is still sleeping and it is going on just about 3 hours now so it was also a good way to wear her out.  We are now members so if anyone wants to go, hit me up!!

First time at the zoo

best friends?!  i think so :)

Update on what Alexia is doing to this date:  sleeping is still more bad nights then good, but we are making it through.  I find her balancing on her own more and more especially when she is busy with something and doesn't realize she is no longer holding onto anything :)  I swear she is starting to teeth, she must be.  She gnaws hard core on anything she can get her little mouth around.  Last night it was my knew and elbow.  She has also started making a cute little clicking noise with her tongue and she finds it incredibly amusing when you do it back to her.  And last but not least and certainly the most adorable.  She has finally really found her feeties!!  She will sit in her stroller or carseat and just play with them forever.  They have found their way into her mouth and I think it is so cute!!
