Our First Camping Trip

We went camping at Carlsbad State Beach (which is close to San Diego) and we had a great time. But wouldn't you know it- WE FORGOT OUR CAMERA!!!!! Thankfully all of our friends remembered theirs and were willing to take pictures of us. So a BIG thanks to Misti for taking these pictures and sending them to us so quickly so we could share them with you! She got some great shots of our family, and Lexi's first experience with the beach!

Our Family

Just relaxing with Mommy

Proud Parents of a beautiful little girl

Getting some sun with Daddy
(Dont worry - she had sunscreen on!!)

This was the entire group that went - 8 families!

Our Beach Babe

First time on a Boogie Board

Our feet in the sand

First time in sand and the ocean

She slept ALL night!!!

Lexi went to bed about 9:30pm and she slept until 8am!!!!!! I cant believe it! She started to stir a few times last night, so I got up and gave her a pacifier and she went back to sleep! This is HUGE for us! Now she is in a great mood!!! Yeah for Lexi! (But I think this benefits Mommy more than anyone!)

Going on a Mini Vacation

Tomorrow we are leaving to go camping at Carlsbad State Beach. This will be Lexi's first time camping and first time at the beach. Thankfully we are taking Grandma Ann's RV! It would be really tough to tent camp with a baby! So yeah for RV's! (Thank you Grandma!!)

This is also the first time that Mike and I have been camping. This is going to be an adventure. Thankfully we are going with a bunch of friends who know what they are doing! We'll take lots of pictures to share with you.

I am also going to try to get a nice picture of the 3 of us. I realized that we haven't taken a "family portrait" since the day that Lexi was born. (I wasn't looking the most glamorous that day!)

I will be sure to post pictures of our vacation on Sunday or Monday.

This is how she decided to sleep.... does this mean she was trying to quiet herself?

Lexi and Mommy

Sleeping at the Party

We went to a birthday party this weekend and Lexi had too much fun!

Check it out!

2 Month Check Up

Today Lexi had her 2 month check up! Can you believe that she is 2 months old? Anyway, she is doing great - Still has not gotten sick!!! YEAH!!!

She had to get 4 shots today but she handled them well. Of course she cried, but it didn't last long. I gave her a bottle right after the nurse was done and that seemed to distract her.

Here are her "stats:"

Weight: 11 lbs 11 oz

Length: 22.5 inches

A day at the Childrens Carnival

Today our church held their annual children's carnival. Even though Lexi wasn't able to participate in the water slide or the games, she still had fun!

We forgot to bring a hat for her... so we made one!

Sticking her tounge out like always!

Playing with Mommy

I think that she was licking the air - it was really windy

Giving Mommy a smile!

Just hanging out with Daddy

"Alright you crazy people, enough with the camera already!"

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!

Sleeping on Daddy's chest

Big girl trying to hold her bottle...

She's just not sure how to feed herself yet...

Sleeping in Mommy's arms...

Something caught her attention
