Another Day in Paradise

As many of you have been doing, the LaBrue Crew has been preparing for another Christmas together. Who would have ever thought.... jk
Christmas time and December in general is always such a crazy time...but yet so fun! Kyle, Alexa, and I ventured to Kansas City last weekend to visit family and to celebrate an early Christmas with my Dad and his wife Marchelle since they won't be able to visit on Christmas.
Alexa had soo much fun running around and playing with all her cousins and their toys. She's getting so grown up and she doesn't need me there to hover around her anymore to make sure she's "ok". It was hard for me to just sit back and relax and let her do her own thing. That's not to say there wern't some disputes between the 5 cousins but sure enough they seemed to work it out on their own. Whenever we're in a large room with a bunch of people Alexa just takes off and doesn't even care where Kyle & I are. It was nice to come home and try to enjoy some time at home before we leave again for our other Christmas in Willard.
Unfortunatley, a few days ago I started getting sick and in turn Alexa started feeling pretty crummy too. But like the trooper she is she is still runnin' around hammin' it up for everyone just to see them smile. (Just like her Daddy)
Let me just say it's so nice to have my sweet mother-in-law nearby to help relieve my in my time of need while Kyle works.
Knock on wood Kyle hasn't gotten the sickness yet....it's really hard for me to resist loving and kissing on my little girl and amazing husband all in the name of not getting them sick.
Kyle has been such a help taking over my responsibilities while I'm under the weather and on top of that still taking such good care of Alexa & I.
Earlier tonight Kyle requested Puppy Chow so as I was making it Alexa was playing around in the kitchen and I looked down to find her sitting on the Chex cereal box scooting around on the floor like it was a car. I tried to get some good pictures but she wouldn't hold still long enough.
I swear that girl is soo creative and can make anything a toy. We all know she gets her imagination from her Daddy, because there isn't any in my blood.
Puppy Chow complete and Alexa doesn't even like it, instead she insists on picking up the pieces one at a time out of the bowl and handing them to Daddy so he can eat them. She was pretty proud of her role as the chow hander outer, until Kyle got impatient with his rations and had to hold the bowl himself. Now she's feeding mommy the chow one at a time until a sugar over-load starts to induce and I have to put the bowl out of her reach.
Yep, we're all just kind of existing and trying to get over this sickness that Alexa & I have but doesn't mean we can't still have fun in the process.
Needless to say, there aren't any pictures of us lately because no one looks good when they're sick but stay tuned for following posts and you may be in luck to catch a glimpse of the cutest little girl there ever was.....and yes, I'm talking about Alexa. : )

Florida Pictures

Alexa haning out pool side. Her favorite spot. She loves sitting on chairs and pretty much anything she can.

Swimming with Daddy. She fell a couple of times & went under, she didn't really get scared or anything but I for sure did.

Here is the Pink Shell Resort where we stayed. Our room was the third floor up on the left.

Posing for a family picture after the wedding.

Alexa is all smiles but when it comes to holding her down for a picture it's a little more complicated. Lucky for us whenever she is near water she's very very happy but hates when we hold her hand or just hold her in general.

Again, with the chairs. She's a climber and got up & down there all by herself. She's growing up sooo fast.

Here is Kylie giving Alexa a kiss...or is it the other way around?

Picture Perfect

The white sand was beautiful and not hot at all so it was fun to walk around bare foot. It's just that when you want it off of you it's not so easy.

Here is a picture of Alexa a couple of days before we left. I had just painted her little piggies for the first time and we were trying to show them off.

Mommy & Boo Boo's newly painted piggies. Not too much longer & we'll be going to get pedicures together! : )

Pretty Pink Toes in White Sandy Beaches

As most of you know Kyle, Alexa & I recently went to Ft. Myers Florida for 5 days to attend his cousin, Kelly's wedding & to get together with all of his brother's & their families.

Alexa did great on the plane ride playing for the 1st part and sleeping the 2nd half. We left Missouri in coats & toe covered shoes and when we got off the plane in Florida we stuck out like a soar thumb. The weather was beautiful and I couldn't believe it was the middle of November.

Alexa loved seeing her cousins Kylie & Tyler again and we even got to meet her new cousin, Jordan (Jeremiah & Sharon's Son).

We stayed at the Pink Shell Resort right on the beach and our Balcony over-looked the most beautiful view I've ever seen. We heard the waves of the ocean crashing on the beach as we slept! So all together there were 9 adults & 4 kids... Belle & Jerry, Verle (Papa), Westen, Amber, Tyler, Kylie, Jeremiah, Sharon, Jordan, Kyle, Alexa & I. It was a lot of people to coordinate timing with but we were pretty successful.

Kyle & I took shifts taking Alexa back to the room in between swims so she could get a nap in. Becaeuse we all know how important those are for the little kids & everyone around them. haha

She loved swimming in the pool & ocean and didn't mind the saltwater at all. She is little miss social so she would walk right up to random kids at the pool to play with them & one little boy was even lucky enough to get a kiss on the cheek.

The resort had different activities for kids to do & on one evening they had the Crab-Tona 500 races. This involved each kid picking a hermit crab & naming it and cheering for it as it raced to the edge (finish line) of the table. The funny thing is Alexa was last in line to pick so she got stuck with the last crab. We named it Boo-Boo & cheered it on and guess what...Yep, she won 1st place!

Boo-Boo was the fastest crab of them all! Alexa didn't seem to care until we all started cheering in celebration & then just wailed because we scared her so bad! 1st prize- ice cream sundae...that she didn't even eat! : )

We got lots of sun & I think I got enough for everyone.

We got there on Thursday & left on Tuesday. Kelly & Travis' got married on the beach Sunday afternoon & their rehearsal dinner was Sat. afternoon.

I had a blast hanging out with my family & their kids. Our nephew, Tyler, around age 10 has a passion for food & G.I Joe action figures. While waiting for the wedding to start he asks me "So if there was meat at the rehearsal dinner last night, do you think there will be meat after the wedding today?" I couldn't stop laughing. I assured him there would be meat, and as promised there was.

We had a blast and it was nice to have Grandma there to babysit. It was hard to head home & see people still laying by the pool. I was wondering what Alexa would think when we got home & she realized it's life back to normal & not near as exciting as vacation was.

But don't worry she was excited to see all of her toys again & her own room & bed, as was I.

When the freezing cold weather hit us as we stepped back onto Missouri grounds it was very very tempting to not turn around and move back to Florida...the thought did cross my mind.

Better Late Than Never Pics & Updates

A pre-halloween trick or treating session at home so we can get all the cousins together in their costumes! If you couldn't tell Alexa was a bear for halloween so we saw it fitting to stick her with her collection of bears in her bedroom!





Instead of door-to-door we did bedroom to bedroom and paraded Preston, Ashlyn, Alexa & Addison and made them beg for candy so we could say "ahhh how cute" and take tons of pictures!
What else is Halloween for anyways?




Alexa's 1st Birthday Party. The girl was flooded with gifts and needless to say she was a little bit overwhelmed but her oh so sweet cousin Ashlyn stepped in to assist and I think got more excited than Alexa. I think Alexa was just wondering why all those people were at her house and why they were all starring at her.





Here is Mommy trying to rassle her down so we can try to get a good picture to send in our thank you notes! It was quite a lot of work...more than I expected but we did get a good one in the end!

Happy Halloween !

The LaBrue Crew had a great Halloween, even though we celebrated it on Friday, so Kyle could take me to my Rob Thomas Concert in STL Saturday night. I don't know why it's so fun to dress up our little kids like animals and parade them around but it's sooo cute! Aunt Michelle was sweet enough to loan us this bear costume that Alexa loved! We had to pin a bow on her head so she didn't look like a boy bear...I had a complex about looking like a boy when I was a little girl so I am making up for that! My friend Jill and her baby Kambrie and son Tanner accompanied us, along with Grandma Bell, Shannon and baby Addison. The outlet malls do a Trick or Treating thing where they give candy from the stores! Alexa loved it..I don't think she's ever had candy before...except for her cousin Ashlyn sneaking her some at her party but she became quite attached to holding a piece of candy in each hand all day! She got a lot of loot...that Kyle and I are still eating! : )
After the outlet mall Kyle & I took Alexa around to some people we know to show off the cutest little bear in the world! It was a fun and at the end of the day I realized Alexa was working up a sweat in that costume but she didn't seem to mind! I think she'll grasp the concept of Halloween and trick or treating better next year!

Okay, everyone clap...I finally figured out how to once again upload pictures on our blog...successfully! Alexa is officially one year old as of yesterday! She's walking great and even almost half running! She's even started to say a few words like "ball" and today I got her to say "Thank You", granted it wasn't perfectly clear but I still think my kid is a genius!
We had a blast at her first birthday party here at our house last Sunday. I def. went overboard for a Sesame Street first birthday party that she'll never remember but it was still fun had by all. My oh so sweet family traveled from far and wide to spend the weekend with us and attend her birthday party! It was crazy but it was fun! I can't believe how big my neices and nephew have gotten!
It was a big day for Kyle and I because we took her last and final scoop of formula! Yayyy! That stuff is worth it's weight in gold but now we've made the switch to whole milk!
Alexa's personality is shining through more and more! She automatically goes to whatever she's not supposed to at all possible chances! She loves giving kisses and loves, especially to her stuffed animals. She's a very loving and happy baby and loves to be the center of attention! And just like her daddy she knows how to work the crowd!
So we celebrated her birthday early because it was actually on a Wed. I tried to make it special as we drove down to Springfield for our family pictures at Portrait Innovations! I don't think she even knew anything was different...except she did get to turn her car seat around and go forward facing! She didn't know quite what to think she just kept starring at Kyle and I and the road ahead of her like something wasn't right. I also didn't make her do anything on her birthday that she didn't want to...that means no brushing her total of 5 teeth and no vitamins that morning! But then I kicked myself in the butt the next day because apparantley she thought that it was her new routine! Oh well!
I am anxiously awaiting Saturday because my swee husband got 4 box seat tickets to the Rob Thomas concert in St. Louis. Granted it's on Halloween night but Alexa needs some Grandma time anyway :) I also have the pleasure of my big sis Shannon and my good friend Jill and my husband to share the joy of the concert with! Don't worry we're changing Halloween to Friday night (because we're just that cool) so we can still dress up our babies like furry little mammals and parade them around to show them off...which is what it truly is because Alexa & Addison can't even eat candy!

So I understand this is a long post but I did have a lot to catch up on so surely you guys can understand...and hey I'll never know if you skipped through everything just to see the pictures!...unless you have a guilty conscious!

Here are some of the many family pictures we had taken yesterday...

I know, I know. There's still no pictures but no one had any suggestions with my little computer problem and I can't handle the frustration of doing all the work of loading them and it not working out again! So you'll just have to make do with my words!
I can't believe it I am seriously planning Alexa's 1st Birthday part! Just thinking about it makes me get a little sentimental! She has grown up so fast and she just keeps getting more and more fun everyday!
She's walking now and getting better and better! She's also quite the little flirt! She has learned how to wave..but she only does it on her terms! The other day we were at the mall and this little boy her age walked up to her stroller and she waves at him and then leans in a gives him a kiss! She's startin' way tooo young! My heart can handle this yet! I thought I was safe at least until she was a teenager! I guess not!
We are anxiously awaiting her Sesame Street Party and I am putting a lot of energy and effort into something that she won't even remember but that doesn't seem to stop me. She loves giving kisses and so far she does it on command..except her version of a kiss involves just leaning in and touching faces! She loves hugging her stuffed animals and kissing them! She has also gotten quite attached to her water baby (one just like I used to have) and she will push her around in the stroller and sometimes stop and lean in for a kiss. However, she isn't so quite of the vacuum still. She doesn't cry (gratefully!) but she will shimmy over to the tallest peice of furniture for safety, only if she can keep her ! Last time though her baby and stroller were right in the path of the vacuum and I could tell she didn't really want to but she summoned up the courage to run over frantically and push her baby to her "safe" spot out of the way of the vacuum! What a good little protective mommy, and she's only a year old!
Along with her first steps came the urge to get into more things she's not supposed to! Kyle & I recently purchased a new front loader washer and dryer and she loves sneaking into the laundry room and just watching the clothes spin around and around! She likes toys but even more than that she likes wobbling through the house and finding random things and making them her treasures which creates a big mess sometimes but oh well she's too cute! As long as she's having fun and safe I really don't care! She loves buckets and purses and just bags in general and even if they're too big she's still determined to carry them around the house...even if they don't belong to her! I could go on and on about her and all the cute little things she does but words don't do her justice! You'll just have to come visit and see her in action!

I've not had the best of luck with this blogging stuff. First it's the pictures messing up and then yesterday I blogged and when I got done the computer died and I lost it all. So I'll try to remember what I wrote and cross my fingers that it all works. Unfortunatley I don't have the patience to try the picture thing again but I can tell you what's been going on with the LaBrue Crew.
Alexa is getting faster and faster at crawling and even stands up on her own. We're working on her walking but she's not real into it yet. She's very talkative and randomly screams crazy sounds...and she doesn't mind if we're in church! She's so cute I can't hardly get mad at her!
She's 10 months old now and when I started planning her first birthday part I had a sentimental moment! I can't believe how old she is! It seriously feels like we were just coming home from the hospital with her the other day!
Kyle's insurance business is doing good and he's a very hard and inteligent worker! Which Alexa and I are very grateful for! Alexa is a great little swimmer and she loves the water. The only problem is she doesn't like sitting in the little boat and she doesn't like us to hold her. She's very into dancing..especially to Michael Jackson *but that might be my fault because I listen to it all the time. Anytime there is music no matter what kind she feels the need to crawl like a banchee over to something she can hold onto and shake what her momma gave her!
She has learned to give kisses but only on her terms..she's very picky about when and whom she gives them to.
We love playing with her and just watching her with all the different things she finds and gets into.
We've had a great summer and it's flown by! Alexa loves being outside and playing in any kind of water!

The LaBrue Crew.... New & Improved

So it's officially been over a month since I've posted on our blog and for that I apologize! Hopefully you guys will forgive me in time! Life has been pretty crazy! Alexa started crawling and ver fast at that! This is what I get for saying I wanted to start working out!She is in the 90th percentile for her height and that only means she can reach higher when she starts swiping stuff! I've learned that silence is never a good thing! Sometimes I'll hear something falling off our bookshelf and I'm just cringing in waiting for that high pitch scream!She loves standing up and pulling herself up on stuff and consequently that means a lot of falls too!Kyle and I try not to freak out when she falls and funny enough she doesn't either! She'll roll over and grab something else and won't ever make a sound...usually! Alexa loves playing peek-a-boo and yesterday she got herself all wrapped up in the curtains and couldn't pull them off of her head like she does her blanket!I was laughing too hysterically to go help the poor child and eventually her little head popped out and she thought it was just as funny as I did! Her little personality shows through more every day! I love crawling and chasing her around the house! Every time I laugh or smile she'll make herself laugh even though she has no clue what's going on! She'll be 9 months old next week and is growing up soo fast! It feels like just yesterday we were coming home from the hospital with her! We've had our struggles with certain things like naps and some days are better than others but every time she laughs or does her cheezy little smile it makes it all worth it!

I could not ask for a better Father to my children than Kyle! He's great with her and she gets oh so excited whenever she sees him walk through the door! He helps out so much and changes just as many diapers as I do! So I know your wondering "Where are the pictures" and I myself have that same question! I have tried multiple times on multiple days to upload these pictures to my blog and when they have loaded and I click on upload pictures no pictures appear in the blog but instead computer mumbo jumbo! Can anyone help me with this because...I'm about to go crazy!
Your patience is appreciated!

Viva Las Vegas!

Kyle, Alexa and I took our family vacation to beautiful Las Vegas thanks to cheap flights and a good deal on a hotel! We were there from Monday the 18th through Friday the 22nd. Kyle nor I had ever been before and it was a great experience! Alexa did great on the flight and either slept or played peek-a-boo with all the people and pulled hair of the people in front of us!Everyone was very sweet and thought Alexa was the cutest...who wouldn't? We didn't rent a car since our hotel (Tropicana Resort) was right on the strip so we just walked...A LOT! It was a lot of fun and it was very hot! We went swimming everyday and Alexa loved it! She did great with all the walking...of course she just got to ride in the stroller and sleep whenever she got tired! She loved all the bright lights and tons of people! She got a lot of attention seeing as how there are not a lot of babies in Vegas! Who woulda thought?
Kyle tried his luck at the poker table to the first night and actually won some money which was pretty exciting! We splurged and went and saw the Bodies exhibit at the Luxor, which was soo interesting! We highly recommend it! It's a little disturbing at first knowing that they are real dead bodies but sooo woth it! We saw the lions at the MGM which was right across the street! And did our fare share of eating! The dancing fountains at the Belagio were beautiful and there were a lot of interesting things and people to watch all around us!
We also went to see a Circus del osel show (sorry, I know the spelling is wrong) called Mystere and it was amazing! Alexa loved all the extravagant costumes and acrobats flying around! On one of our days walking around we came across this Stone Man that was a real guy and he was very impressive! Every move he made was robotic! So I gave Alexa a dollar and told Kyle to go help her give it to him and then motioned for me to take a picture of them all together and he started rubbing Kyle's ears! Kyle about died...if you don't know already...he absolutley hates his ears rubbed or even touched for that matter! He was soo miserable it was funny!
We had a blast but going away for so long really makes you appreciate your own home! As I would like to say, there's a lot to see in Vegas and a lot not to see..if you know what I mean! : )

I have to start this post off with an apology for posting no pictures of Alexa. I have tried many times but my computer is acting up so you'll have to make do with me talking about her!
We celebrated her 6 month birthday last week and had our own little family party at McDonalds, complete with us eating french fries in front of her! Her very sweet and thoughtful Dad bought her two dresses and sunglasses and even wrapped them up so cute for her to rip apart that day! She is rolling over a ton and has been sitting up on her own for a while now. The funny part is she will slowly tip over sometimes when she's tired and will fall face first into the carpet but won't cry or make a sound except "thump", she just rolls over on her stomach and continues playing! She's sooo funny to watch and believe me she gets plenty of kisses from her Daddy and I, and lots of other people! I can't stop kissing her and telling her how much I love her!
She is still working on getting some teeth, I can see the white underneath her gums but we have yet to see one break through, she is constantly chewing on anything and everything!
We took her to the park to swing the other day, which she loves, and this little girl was playing with her and she looks at us and asks "Why is your baby so excited?"
It's true, Alexa gets so excited for everything simple thing, it's so cute how she'll start kicking her legs and panting! She will be one really happy girl when she can walk on her own! She walks great if we are holding her hands for balance and we are working on crawling! She is eating baby food and loves anything we give her, she was born with those genes!
We are headed to our first family vacation with all 3 of us here in a couple of weeks to good ol' Las Vegas! I'm very excited and a little nervous how it's going to be flying and traveling such a far distance with a baby! Alexa always does great no matter what and she's so happy and content with everything it's so easy but I get stressed out easy so I'm the one that's a mess and worrying about EVERYTHING!
I will try and work more to figure out what's wrong with my computer so hopefully next time I will have all the cute pictures posted that I have!

Down on The Farm

Okay, so it's been a very long time since I've posted but here are some irrisistable pictures of Alexa at "Down on the Farm" a couple of weeks ago. It was hosted by Parents as Teachers at the high school's agcriculture building and they had a lot of cool animals! Alexa wasn't into as much as some of the older kids but she enjoyed watching the other kids run around the most! She loved holding the baby bunnies and went straight for their ears! Poor things! Another little girl that was around was panicking saying over and over "She's squishing it, She's squishing it!" Alexa looked at her like "What's your problem?". I'll try to do better about the posting of pictures!

Alexa has grown up a lot and now weighs in at 14 lbs! Can you believe it? She's getting even longer too! She is doing great and is a very happy baby..when she's awake! haha the reason I say that is because she doesn't like going down for naps or bed time and she's used to me holding her during her naps..which is 100% my fault! Now I'm trying to break the bad habit and do the Baby Whisperer thing where I keep going back in her room over and over to comfort her...with out picking her up! Needless to say she's not very happy about these new rules but with my new found inspiration from my support group...aka Mom and my sister Michelle I know the work will pay off eventually...but that doesn't make bearing the high pitch screams any easier!

Alexa is now 4 months old and putting EVERYTHING into her mouth which is very cute and at the same time it makes me cringe because I think about all the germs! Not that that I'm a germ freak or anything it just is gross! Oh well, kids have to learn somehow...I'm not going to be that mom that keeps her trapped from the world in a bubble! We are very excited for the new arrival of her cousin...baby Hufford...Okay, I'm very excited! I just keep telling her about it! I'm really excited/interested to see how they interact with each other...I know it will be a while before Baby Hufford gets accustomed to the world and can interact with things around her but needless to say we're anxious!
Alexa is still standing up a ton..when we hold her arms for balance and loves every minute of it because she can finally see all around her! She's not really the cuddly baby I thought she would be! She hasn't really got the rolling over thing down yet but every once in a while she will turn over on her own..small victories are still victories!
She loves talking and squeeking almost like a little mouse and gets excited when she realizes what she's doing! We have started introducing the rice cereal...which is still a bit of a chore seeing as she hasn't got the technique down of using her tongue to push it down her throat instead of right outside her mouth but soon enough she will get it down!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I bet you are dying to know what's going on lately with the LaBrue crew! Well don't worry you're about to know!
We had a great Valentine's Day....we had to make the best of it! We decided to go somewhere new for dinner..big mistake! (stick with what ya know) So we went to what we thought was this fancy restaurant in Osage Beach..The Brass Door. It was supposed to be fancy but the restaurant was kind of dirty and very outdated! The food took forever to come out and when it did Kyle discovered he had a hair on his steak! My food was hairless but not very good at all! So we left very disgusted but decided to not let it ruin our V-Day. You live and you learn...and you don't go to The Brass Door! We then went to our ward Sweetheart Dance and had a blast joking around with the other couples!
We even got Alexa's V-Day on videotape..not that she knew what the heck was going on..it was more for my sake. She got a beach ball as part of her present and she absolutely loves it!
Alexa attended her 4 month wellness check up and clocks in at 13 lbs and 4 oz. She's soo interactive now and even stands on her own as long as someone is holding her hand for balance! She loves making noises with her mouth and hearing her own voice and especially blowing bubbles! She's my little motor boat!
I'm very excited because she recently has started falling asleep in her car seat in the grocery cart at Wal-Mart and stuff when before she would freak out that she couldn't see everything that was going on! Needless to say it makes trips to the store much more enjoyable now that I don't have to hold her and push a cart at the same time!

Road Trip!

Kyle,Alexa & I made the trip to Kansas City so Kyle can take care of some insurance business and I was able to visit some of my family...the Walker's and the Bell's. So Kansas City really isn't that big of a road trip but with a 3 1/2 month old baby..anywhere out of town is a road trip.
Kendall & Michelle were gracious hosts and Preston was even nice enough to let Alexa use a lot of his things like his walker which made it really nice on us to not have to pack all that stuff and travel with it! There is a lot of stuff to bring for such a little person!
We had a blast and my sister even took us to this cool overstock furniture store..inside a cave! Needless to say, we were very impressed and had never seen anything like that before!
I loved hanging out with my nieces and nephew and listening to the hilarious things that they say! How do they come up with these things? They are all great big cousins and Alexa got a lot of love from them, whether she wanted it or not! She loved watching her cousins play and was so intent on watching their every move!
We were even lucky enough to cross roads with Shannon in Kansas City before we had to head home!
We just want to say thanks to all who made our trip so much fun! We love you all and already miss you!
Now I get to tackle the worst part of coming home...unpacking!

General Update on the LaBrue Crew!

So I thought I was doing pretty good at posting pictures and then I realized I hadn't posted any cute stories or updates on Alexa. So here it is.
Alexa Renee is officially 3 months old now! I still can't belive it! It feels like yesterday we were taking her home from the hospital!
She loves to stand up as long as we hold her hands for balance! She's such a happy baby and smiles all the time! Even her cries are cute when she sticks out her bottom lip and starts pouting. I'm sure it won't be so cute when she's 3 years old but we are lovin' it right now! She's such a great baby and we couldn't ask for a better blessing!
She did great with her 3 month old professional pictures yesterday and it was wonderful having Grandma Bell there to assist and play with her during the long process! I was greatly impressed, she didn't even cry once during the whole thing...there I was stressing for nothing!
January has been a very busy month for our family. Kyle turned 24 on the 19th and I turned the ripe old age of 21 on the 23rd!
I really love being a stay at home mom and I love the fact that I can wear my pajamas all day some days! Kyle and I are so blessed and we love playing with Alexa and seeing her grow and change! She's so much more interactive now grabbing at toys and giggling! It makes all the diaper changing and spit up all worth it!

The other day I was holding her on my lap smiling at her and telling her how grateful I was for her and how much I loved her and I was so happy to be her mommy and she laughs at me and then spits up all over me! It wasn't just a little bit either it was projectile! It's so cute to see her little personality coming through! She loves being carried around and her favorite thing is to watch other people especially little kids! She just wants to know what's going on all the time!
