It's a Child!!!

I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but sometime in the past month, Alexa has changed from a baby into a little girl. Kind of sad. Look at her! She is like a child! A child with teeth! (She now has two on the bottom, two half way in on the top and another one trying to poke through on the top) Anyway, Alexa and I went to Orlando this past weekend. It was the first time we went somewhere overnight without Nick (he was not happy about it) and my mom met us there. We went shopping and well, went shopping some more. Alexa saw Santa at Downtown Disney! She hated him. Actually, she waved and said hi to him from far away but was terrified when we got up close. But she did like the booklet of movie listings on ABC Family that they gave us on our way out. Books are kind of her thing now. Along with phones. She still talks on the phone any chance she gets and she even does a fake laugh every now and then which I think is hilarious. Mom brought us the non-jogging stroller that she got at a garage sale. I've decided to call it the non-jogging stroller because it is really nice until you start actually jogging with it. At that point it starts shaking like crazy which kind of defeats the whole purpose of it being a jogging stroller. Apparently it was working fine at the garage sale and then my dad started messing with it. So pretty much, it's his fault and he needs to fix it when they all come up for Christmas. Anyway, back to our trip. Alexa liked to walk every now and then and she loved to help push the stroller. She also enjoyed the occasional bird chase through the outlet mall. (please excuse my butt in that picture...I didn't realize how bad those jeans look :/) We also went to Celebration to see the Christmas stuff. Alexa had fun looking at the lights, dancing to the live music and she especially liked the snow! And by snow, I mean soap bubbles that then settle on the ground making a slimy, dirty layer of nasty that some other random children were making 'snow' angels in. Face down. Obviously not future Harvard Alumni. Does anyone else find it an oxymoron to say that soap is dirty? Well, in this case, it was. All in all, it was a good weekend. We came back Sunday morning, I worked Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights and my house is an absolute mess so lots to do tomorrow. Plus I have gotten ZERO Christmas shopping done so lots to do on Friday too. We shall see how much actually gets accomplished.
