One month in...

Lexi is one month old, so I thought I would give you an overview of our month as a family of four. :)



~Lexi attended 4 little league games watching big brother play in the playoffs.
~She was originally 8lbs 3 oz, and lost quite a bit of weight, down to 7lbs 4 ounces. Last Thursday she was back up to 8lbs 1 oz, hopefully at her weigh in tomorrow she will be back up to her birth weight.
~Lexi loves baths! She is quite content lounging in the "tub" (aka the kitchen sink), and taking it all in.
~Her eyes are currently blue, but that can change for up to a year....I think.
~Lexi has gotten to meet all of her Grandparents! She has met Auntie Katie and Uncle Rob.....just have Uncle Chad and Auntie Katye to go!
~Lexi had her first photo shoot.
~Lexi has pretty good neck strength, she can lift her head up pretty good and move it from side to side when she is laying on her stomach.
~Lexi rolled over from her stomach to her back! I thought it was a fluke until she did it again! :)
~Lexi sticks her tongue out at her dad...good habit to start early...lol.
~Lexi does NOT like her crib.....we are working on that one this week.
~We have had a couple of smiles.....sometimes they are gas related, but we will take what we can get.
~She has gotten more and more alert making facial expressions and starting to focus on things in front of her.
~Lexi is really good at spitting up on a clean outfit after a bath.
~She has been in to visit Mommy's friends at work
~Lexi loves her carseat, stroller and riding in the car
~She has just this week found her thumb and put it in her mouth....not consistently, but she is not far off.
~She holds her binkie in her mouth....today she flipped it out of her mouth with one finger and promptly started screaming.
~We think she is a pretty good sleeper....3-4 hour stretches are nothing to complain about.
~Breastfeeding has been an adventure....if you are interested in details...call me. :)

Derek, Ryan and I have all fallen in love with our little Alexis, she has been such a great addition to our family, we are excited to watch her grow and shower her with love.
