oh no!!! 5 weeks!

I completely forgot to post something for last week. Here's a quick little update on Alexis before I get her all packed up for our weekend get away to Lake Mead.

Last week, we took Alexis in the pool for the first time and she LOVES it. When I say she loves it, I don't think even I understood how much she does. She has been so cranky lately and fights her sleep (thanks to thrush, a diaper rash, and goopy eyes!!) and the ONLY thing that will make her a happy baby again is putting her in her little swim suits and putting her in the water.

Here are a few pictures from that. Will hopefully get some good pictures this weekend!! especially one of her in her little life jacket... it's just ridiculous!! It's so big on her!!

Have a great week!!

I love her smiles. I know I'm a little biased, but this is one cute baby!! :)

If she knew how to laugh, I'm pretty sure she'd have the biggest belly laugh to accompany her smiles when I put her above my head then make her splash the water.

intense staring contest with a plant. hmm.

Such a good listener.

MOM!! You're not looking at me anymore!!!

Okay... let's splash!!

Enjoy the heat. Stay safe. Stay cool.

one month old!!

AHH!!! My baby girl is a month old already! I can't believe it! Part of me feels like this past month just FLEW by while the other part of me feels like she has always been here. It's funny. People always tell you how fast it goes, but I didn't really see it until now. The pregnancy just DRAGGED at the end, but looking back- those 9 months flew by... and now this past month of being at home with my daughter (still so weird to say) happened in the blink of an eye.

Let's see, in this last week, we hung out with Rachyl before she and Gma Laura headed off to Maui for two weeks! We got the Overland Jeep Jogging stroller, which has been used every day so far! I love taking Alexis out for walks and being able to listen to music without fussing over headphones staying in my ears. It's AMAZING haha :)

I think I'm going to have to start packing up newborn clothes already, too! It's bittersweet since the clothes are so cute, but she is getting too tall for them! Definitely not too chubby for them yet, so the new 0-3 month clothes are just hanging on her... making her look bigger than she really is! She'll fill 'em out soon, I'm sure!

She also started to have some male pattern baldness set in! haha She looks like an old man right now with her receding hairline, so I try to cover it up with headbands... which is super cute! :)

On Saturday, Great Grandma and Grandpa Blount came over to play games! It was so fun and we had a good lil baby!! :) Such a fun family day!! Definitely looking forward to the next one!

Well, I kind of failed at taking pictures this week, so there aren't too many, but I did get a couple cute ones!

Firsts this week:
-went to a restaurant!! (and slept the whole time)
- let mommy and daddy eat dinner at the same time!
- slept for 5 hours straight almost every night!
- baby talk "ahh" and "oooh" sounds! so cute!
- one tear duct came unblocked
- staying awake for about 4 hours during the day!

It's been a GREAT week! :) Can't believe I have a 1-month old already!! :) LOVE her!

After eating from a bottle (only after she's being a piggy for too long and hurting mommy), she prefers the milk goatee over the mustache. not so sure it's a good look for a girl, but she enjoys it. :)

I slept the entire time when Grandpa Steve took mommy and me to lunch!

I love this outfit from Great Grandma Dale!

Love my cupcake onesie! :) so soft and comfy!

Have a great week, everyone!! Hopefully, I'll have lots of stories for next week!

week 3

So this week started off fun and sad. BBQ and pool party with Lexi's godparents and our family and friends! Its always fun to see everyone, but sad this time because Alexis' godmother, Danielle, left to work on the last Twilight movies. We miss her, but we plan to have many MANY skype dates to say hi throughout her time in Louisiana and Canada!

Sunday was another first for little Lexi! She went to her first Angels baseball game! We went with a bunch of friends and took Lexi in her Baby Bjorn for the first time. Look below for pictures! :)

The rest of the week was filled with Aunt Rachyl time... a couple trips to the mall and then a 3 day weekend with Nicholas HOME!! :) Sunday, Crystal and her babies came up to my mom's house, so we spent the day up there hanging out with them! Such a fun week!

Things she LOVES:
- Keona
- her swing
- her bouncy chair
- tummy time
- rocking in the glider

Things she HATES:
- powder formula (she gags when she tastes it then throws it ALL up every time!)
- being stuck in traffic
- trash trucks early in the morning
