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!
