Happy Halloween from Lexie the Ladybug!

Shopping with Dad

Lex and Jeff had a successful shopping trip to Lowe's today to buy new plants and flowers for the backyard.

Week 7

Happy Baby!

Grandma comes to visit!

Grandma came to visit this weekend to help with my transition back to work. Lexie smiled at her for the 1st time on Saturday and continued for the rest of the weekend. She sure loves her Grandma!

Week 6

Daddy!

I'm headed back to work tomorrow :( and Jeff will now be home with Lexie all day. So sad to be leaving Lex but glad she is in good hands.

Tummy time

Kick, kick, kick

Working on neck strength

Family Happy Hour

Tonight we met Matt, Veronica, Callaway, Ashley, Kevin and Phil at Dos Gringos for happy hour. Looks pretty funny with us rolling in with our strollers, diaper bags and babies.

Pacifier Crisis

Lex constantly knocks her pacifier out of her mouth with her own hand and is instantly upset when it's gone. Can't wait for the day when she learns not to do this, but pretty funny to watch.

Week 5

Greenbelt Walks

Lexie and I have been doing lots of walking on the greenbelt behind our house. Pretty much I do all the walking and she rides in this cozy bed, all bundled up. This was an early morning walk when it was actually slightly cool.

Mama Sierra

As predicted, Sierra had been very protective and motherly toward Lexie. She looks for Jeff and me when Lex is crying and seems to panic if we leave Lexie in a room by herself, looking or pacing back and forth between us and wherever Lexie is.

Visit from Jess

Yesterday my college roommate, Jessica, and her family came to visit. Baby Ralston is super cute and active and it was great seeing them. They also gave Lexie this adorable duck towel that we used for her bath later that night. Thanks!!

New Friend for Lexie

Last night we met Matt, Veronica and Callaway for dinner. Lexie chilled the whole time and Callaway was very interested in looking at her. So funny to watch one baby look at another, like they know they're the same!

Happy One Month!

Lexie is one month old today! Can't believe it's already been a month since I had her. She has already changed a lot. She is more awake and alert everyday and has started tracking things with her eyes, especially the little birds that go around on her swing. Her legs, arms and neck are getting stronger by the day and her checks are starting to get chubby. Exciting to see her new developments but sad that her newborn days are flying by. We love you, Lexie!

Week Four

Newborn Randomness

First Trip to the Mall!

Today we ventured to the mall to run some errands and practice taking Lexie places! After figuring out how to collapse the stroller, we loaded her in the car and headed off. She did great for most of the time we were there but started to lose it at Macy's when the cashier was taking FOREVER to check us out. I was about to lose it too! Every time we take her out of the house it's a new learning experience.

Gripewater

We have been giving Lexie gripewater for gas relief. It is hilarious when we give her the drops because she makes this loud squeaking noise.

Tummy Time

We've been doing some daily 'tummy time' with Lexie to help her build her neck muscles. I can tell she is getting stronger daily. Good work, Lex!

Snugli!

Today I tried out the Snugli with Lexie and she loved it! Even though it's still a little big for her, she fell asleep almost right away. The free hands allowed me to clean up the kitchen and make lunch... two things that are fairly rare now. Thanks, Kristie for giving us the Snugli!
