Can't Get Enough Love

Ashlynn loves to snuggle with Alexis. Every opportunity ashlynn can get to hold Alexis she takes. When the kids decide to go outside Ashlynn will go and find Alexis and quietly hold her in my bedroom so the other kids will not know and try to time her to get their turn.

Brayden holds Alexis one last time before he leaves to go to football practice. Brayden always has to give Alexis one last kiss before football practice and then as soon as he gets home the first thing he does is find Alexis and give her another kiss and says "ah how cute."

Hunter just adores Alexis. Anytime she is laying on the bed he will sneak into my room and hold her. We have told Hunter not to pick up Alexis on his own and that someone needs to put her in his arms cause she is too small. In this picture Alexis started to cry and before I could get to her Hunter had crawled on my bed and scooped her up into his arms. I had to take this picture because Hunter said "See mom I am big enough to pick her up. I picked her up all by myself."

One Proud brother. Hunter got Alexis to stop crying all by himself.

The kids take turns picking out Alexis clothes for the day. Brayden was so excited to dress her in the little onesie he bought for her.

Kayla is such a thoughtful big sister. She crochet two hats for Alexis and made this cute blanket for her and cross stitched her name on the blanket. Alexis will love this blanket for years to come. Kayla is so talented. It just seems to come natural for her. I wish I had that talent. She makes her own patterns up to crochet and they look great when she is finished.

Brayden loves his baby sister. He treats her like an angel. When he gets up in the morning the first thing he does is give Alexis a kiss and then he says "ah how cute."He is so gentle with her. He loves to sit in my glider chair and rock her. Words can't express how precious it is to see the sweet bond that has taken place between Alexis and the kids. She truly is a blessing to our family.

kayla is like a little mother. She is so good with Alexis. I do not even have to tell her what to do with Alexis. It just seems to come naturally to her. It is hard to believe she will be in young womens in two weeks.

Doesn't she look like a natural mother.

Speaking of mothers Alexis is not sure who her mother is. We call kayla mother1 and Ashlynn mother2. Ashlynn is also really helpful with Alexis. She loves to take care of Alexis and spend time with her. She is the living baby doll ashlynn has always wanted.

too sweet

We Love Alexis

One Proud Dad

Hunter brought his favorite stuffed animal to the hospital and gave it to Alexis. How sweet is that. True love.

Hunter looks for every opportunity to hold Alexis. He is so cute and gentle with her.

Uncle David enjoys holding Alexis.

Oma has to wait in line to hold Alexis but she finally got her turn.
She now has five grandboys and five grandgirls. Oma came and helped with the kids while Alexis was born. I am so glad and thankful she was able to come and help.
