PJ Party

Today Lexi and I decided to stay in our PJ's all day.

I was busy cleaning and she was busy playing.

Getting SO Big

I had a sad moment the other day. I realized that I needed to move the straps up on the car seat. Do you know what that means? Lexi is getting Big! She is no longer using the "newborn" settings for her car seat.

*Snif Snif*

This is Lexi at 3 days old - First day in the car seat:

And this was yesterday (7 Weeks Old)

Look at the position of the yellow label on the left side -

her head is above it now.

I dont know if it is "proper" to post naked pictures of a baby... but I just had to! She has little rolls on her legs and her tummy is TOO cute. She still has the smallest waist so it makes her tummy look huge! She would still fit into Newborn diapers if we wanted her too.... but I need to start using up our stash of the bigger sizes.

Just thought this was too cute!

Sleep in heavenly peace

I'm probably going to jinx myself by saying this, but I'm proud to announce that Lexi slept for 7 hours straight last night, woke up to eat, then slept for another 3 hours. Monday and Tuesday night, she slept for 5 hours straight!

This is BIG news because up until 3 nights ago she was only sleeping 3 hours at a time at night!

YEAH! I'm hoping that this pattern will stick.

Our happy girl

Well Lexi is now 7 weeks old and she has been changing so much. She is starting to interact more. She smiles when we talk to her and she will follow us with her eyes. She loves to look around and will let us know when she wants a change in scenery.

I have nicknamed Lexi as our "Go Girl." She always wants to be on the move. When we are in the car, she will cry when we stop at stop lights, but then as soon as we start moving, she is fine. She doesn't like to stop. So needless to say, I try to avoid stop lights when she is tired, otherwise it makes for a long car ride!! Haha.

She has been so much fun! We love having her around!

Such a big smile!

"Party - My Crib - 2am!"

1 Month Photo Shoot

Here are a few shots from Lexi's first professional photo shoot! She was such a good girl. The photographer was shocked how calm she was for her age, and the fact that we had her naked. She said that most newborns dont like to cooperate with these photo shoots.

Video of Alexis Smiling

Alexis has started smiling when we talk to her! We have been having SO much fun with her.

Lexi and her cousins

Lexi had a great time being smooched by her 3 year old cousin Caroline, and slobbered on by her 6 month old cousin Jack.

Visiting with Family

Lexi was snuggled the entire time we were there. She was in heaven.

First Airplane Trip

We just got back from our week trip at Grammy and Papa's house. We had a great time and Lexi just loved getting to know all of her family and friends up in Northern California.

Daddy just finished feeding Lexi and we are getting ready to get on our plane:

We are on the plane ready to go!

Lexi was wonderful on the plane. She slept the entire time, there and back. It was really nice. Everyone around us kept saying that she is such a good baby!

Off to see Grammy and Papa in Northern California

Well today Lexi will ride a plane for the very first time - So say a quick prayer for us... and the people on the plane. Hopefully she will be okay. If she does cry the whole time, at least the flight is only an hour.

I wont be able to post again until we come back next Wednesday. But I should have lots of pictures to share!

1 Month Check Up

Can you believe that Lexi is already 1 month old??? My goodness time flies!

So today at the Dr's office Lexi weighed in at 9lbs 2oz!! And she is now 21 inches long! I cant believe how big she is getting! Overall her health is great. We are switching her over to Soy formula because her tummy has been upset and she has been a tooting machine! Haha. She also has clogged tear ducts - but that is pretty common.

We really like our Pediatricians. They are a husband and wife team, and they are SO great with Lexi. Today we saw Dr. Tony for the first time and he was SO cute with her. He cuddled her and wanted to give her a bottle. She got mad at him when he took it away. She will certainly put people in their place! She knows what she wants and will do what she needs to get it.

Also, Lexi can hold her head up for extended periods of time! She just loves to look around!

And of course I cant forget the pictures:

Her cute little feet

Look at how little she is compared to Daddy's hands

She was really tired!
