Lovin' some Sweet Potatoes

Well Mommy finally gave in. She let me have FOOD! For about 2 weeks she kept giving me YUCKY cereal and didn't get the hint that it was GROSS! But last night she finally let me try the good stuff. And boy was it good! I wanted more, but she told me that I had enough. Bummer. Hopefully she will keep giving me this stuff. I like it!

On the Move

Mommy was busy on the computer and she thought that I was innocently playing on the floor... little did she know, I rolled myself all the way across the room and under my crib!

Open mouth, Insert foot

Mommy always talks about putting her foot in her mouth.....

is this what she means?

Eating a Biscuit

Yesterday my Mommy gave me this thing called a Biter Biscuit. It was great! Since I dont have any teeth I couldn't really "bite" it, but I licked it, and it was yummy.

After a while I forgot about the biscuit because I realized how yummy my fingers tasted!

In Loving Memory of George

Our dear friend, George Tyree, went home to see Jesus

We will miss him dearly.

This is a picture of George and Lexi that was taken during one of our camping trips this last summer.

In Memory of You

By M.S.Lowndes

We want to always remember

The beautiful life you lived

And keep alive the memories we have

Through remembering what you did

For you’re so special to all of us

A wonderful person indeed

Your love, laughter and warm smile

Reflected a heart that believed

Just in the everyday things we do

We remember your faith and love

In the words you spoke to help us through

Is a continued reminder for us

Although we miss you so very much

We know we’ll see you once more

For this is the hope we have in God

Being re-united in the Lord

And as we gather we’ll continue to share

Special times we went through

For these are memories that warm our hearts

As we honor the memory of you

What is this wet stuff failing from the sky?

This morning we woke up and Mommy said that it was raining! I'm not sure what this means, but it means something serious, because she bundled me all up.

P.S. Thanks to my cousin Keri Moffitt I have a cute warm sweater. I dont think that Mommy remembered to buy warm clothes for me. But she said that we get to go shopping today! Yippee!

Cereal. YUCK!

I think Mommy and Daddy are trying to torture me. Someone SAVE ME! Last night they tried to feed me this thing they called "Cereal." What were they thinking???? SO GROSS!!!!

Watch this video. I think this is child abuse and here is my proof.

Like Father, Like Daughter

Here is me and my Daddy cheering on our favorite college football team!

Go USC!

Our Move

Well we have finally finished moving. Here is the scoop.

Mommy and Daddy are planning on buying a house within this next year. So instead of being stuck in a lease when they found a house, Grandma was nice enough to let us move in with her. This will allow Mommy and Daddy to take their time and make a good decision.

I think Grandma likes having me around all the time too!!! So it works out for all of us.

Wish us Happy House Hunting!

Moving

We are right in the middle of moving, so there will not be any updates for a week or so. Please be patient.... Mommy will post new pictures soon!

I love Toys

Why do I need toys like this....

When remote controls are much more fun!

Notice that I'm sitting up like a big girl. I can now sit for about a minute before I fall over! I'm getting strong!

I can sit!!

Look at me! I can sit up! All by myself! I did it!

I can only sit for about 15 seconds before I fall over, but I can do it!!! YEAH!!!!!!

Clothing by Daddy

Here are some outfits that Daddy picked out for me:

I just realized that I have something on my shirt!!!

Daddy's Little Girl

Its Mommy here. I just have to tell you what little miss Lexi did yesterday.

All day long she would light up every time she saw Daddy. She has a MAJOR crush on him.

Fast forward to bedtime. She finally feel asleep around 10pm! Yikes. She was really hyper and didn't want to go to bed. About 30 mins later, she woke up. We let her play for a while, in hopes that she would fall asleep again, but nope. Her playful screams turned into mad screams. So I got her out of bed and was just holding her on my lap.

Her Daddy was sitting close by, and she kept starting him down. This was the conversation that followed:

Daddy: "You're supposed to be in bed"
Lexi: (Pouting lower lip)
Mommy: (Laughing)
Lexi: (Smile at Mommy)

Daddy: "Its bed time Lexi"
Lexi: (Pouting lower lip)
Mommy: (Laughing)
Lexi: (Smile at Mommy)

Daddy: "Lexi, you need to go to bed"
Lexi: (Pouting lower lip)
Mommy: (Laughing)
Lexi: (Smile at Mommy)


This went on about 10 times. Anytime Daddy said that its bed time, she would pout her lower lip. It was SO funny! She was trying to pull at Daddy's heart strings! She is already trying to get her way out of things.

My Pug Nose

My mommy finally caught my pug nose on camera!

I'm rolling all over the place

Today I mastered rolling from my back to my tummy. This was harder than I thought. Once I figured it out, I rolled all over the living room! Mommy took away all the cool things on the floor that I wanted to get - like a really neat tape gun! I wanted to chew on that so bad!

5 Month Pictures

Here are the pictures that my Mommy took of me today. I was a little cranky, so she is going to try again after my nap.

5 Months Old Today

Today I am 5 months old. I didn't have to go to the Dr this month because I'm healthy and don't need any shots (Thank goodness!)

Here are my 5 month stats according to our scale and measuring tape:

Weight: 16.1 lbs

Length: 25.5 inches

This month I have really mastered my hands. I love to be able to touch, grab and chew on anything that I like. I am keeping mommy and daddy on their toes because I can grab just about anything. The other day I knocked over a water glass in a restaurant... whoops. They haven't quite figured out that they need to keep the perimeter clear of these things... otherwise, I'm going for it!

I still like to roll over, but I dont like to roll onto my tummy. I get to see all the cool things when I'm on my back. Maybe one day I'll roll both ways.

Just a few days ago I figured out that if I scrunch my nose up and breathe fast, it makes a funny noise. Its a good way to get every ones attention because its new. Mommy says I remind her of a Pug doggy. hehe. Mommy isn't sure how I learned how to do that, but Daddy said its because she does it to me.....

Here is a picture of me... almost sitting up on my own:

Weekend Project

So this weekend my parents put a shed together in my Grandma's backyard. It was about 105 degrees while they were trying to do this. They were really hot. Grandma and I stayed nice and cool inside the house.

(I think they were a little jealous!)

Here are some pictures. I think they did a great job! Dont mind my Mommy's green hat! At least she didn't get sunburned!

Taking a little break
