10 Months and Counting

Whoa. It's almost mid-October; and I've blogged once during all of September. Not good. Especially since Lexie's turning one in less than one month (o.m.g!!!), I feel this overwhelming urge to catch up in chronicling all our memories of her infancy year. So indulge me as I take a step back into September....

Mom & Dad H came for a long-awaited visit starting in early September. From Lexie's perspective, she loved all the extra attention, doting, play time, walks, and gifts that her Grandparents brought with them from Florida.

Check it out:

We celebrated Mom H's birthday during this particular evening, but look who got the gifts!

and horsey... "Giddyap!"

My sole blog post in September was about Lexie's Baptism; so I won't write too much about it here. But just wanted to share some of the wonderful photos that our professional photographer, Winnie, took during the sacred event:

September also saw the one year old birthday party of Isabella, Deb's daughter. Here, Lexie rode her very first pony. She was frightened at first, but soon enough, she did a "no-hands."

Here are some more pics from Isabella's memorable party:

Elmo & Big Bird were amongst Isabella's visitors

If you can't tell from this photo, Lexie's also fan of Elmo

Can't believe this was Deb and me a mere 13 months ago!

So that's our September in a nutshell. Whew! If it sounded busy, it was. And October is shaping up to be even more so.

Gulp.
