Not only was last week Alexis’s first Thanksgiving, but she also celebrated her 6th month birthday. Last Monday she had her 6 month check up and to say that I was shocked, is an understatement. She is weighing 14 pounds, 25th percentile, and is 27 inches long, which puts her at the top of the charts in the 95th percentile. I knew she was tall, but I would have never guessed that tall! She did great on her shots once again and after a bottle she acted as if nothing happened. We even went shopping for Thanksgiving dinner.
On Wednesday A watched her daddy make her a gingerbread house. This is a Mannion tradition and Brian couldn’t wait to make one for Alexis. I have deep rooted traumas when it comes to building gingerbread houses so I didn’t participate. Maybe another year!
Thursday we hosted Thanksgiving at our house with the Mannions and the Catheys and Friday we went to the Lake to do our 2nd dinner with my whole family. We had a great time at both and it was by far my favorite yet!
A is learning so much! Just in the last week she has started jumping like crazy in her jumperoo, she has begun teething, she holds on to things for longer periods of time and she loves to laugh. I’ve got a few videos that I need to upload, but I will save that for the next post. She is very close to sitting up and she is starting to get on her knees when she does tummy time. All in all she is still a very happy baby. We are currently going through our first snotty nose. I feel so bad for her. Tonight she had a hard time getting to sleep, so I had to rock her. Hopefully that goes away soon.
We have so much to be thankful for this year. At the top of the list is Alexis! She has brought so much joy to our lives. We are so happy and we love her so much. She brings a smile to my face every time I think about her.

Her 6 Month Birthday Bath picture. She still loves her bath time. She is getting much more active and Mommy ends up getting pretty wet too!!
My first two babies! I LOVE this picture. This will probably appear on our Christmas card. Belle is almost 12 years old and Ranger is 8. They are getting old but they still love to play.
Alexis on her first Thanksgiving.
Making gingerbread houses. Notice Daddy's LSU and Aunt Missy's Ole Miss. They all had a blast!
