About three weeks ago, Alexa and I traveled to Dallas, TX, to visit Mimi and Pop while Daddy was in New Orleans for a conference. I realize it’s late but I just couldn’t resist sharing some of the cute photos from our time with them.
One thing we discovered on this trip is Alexa LOVES dirt. She loves to dig, and much to her Mommy’s chagrin, she doesn’t care very much about getting dirty. Here she is trying to climb into the flower bed. 
She enjoyed taking out the mulch and placing it on the pavers. 
She enjoyed removing the dirt from the flower pots. My parents are probably upset I’m sharing pics of dead flowers. They did plant new flowers after we left! You have to remember, it was mid-March when we visited. 
Here she is removing more dirt. Maybe she’ll be our lil’ gardener. 
The other ironic thing about this visit was that Alexa DID NOT want to take a bath. She would literally cry in fear and cling to me as we got close to the bathtub. We think she might have been afraid of the inflatable duck bathtub. No matter, on the third day of our visit, we HAD to bathe our little girl who smelled of wilderness and had dirt under her fingernails to prove it. She was quite the happy baby once she got all clean.

Mimi’s getting into it. Alexa loves it! 
Such an adorable pic. 
Alexa’s taking a closer look at her Pop. 
Eating Cheerios and looking at the birds outside. 
Pop had to save the day when our ball fell into a drainage hole. Thank you Pop! 
Alexa loved walking everywhere with her walker but when she knew it was time to go inside, she made a getaway the fastest way she knew how – crawling.
