crafty!!

Yesterday was a really good day! Lexi's top tooth broke through her gum yesterday and she has the most miserable sounding "dadadadada" cry when her teething meds wear off. BUT- she still napped and slept regularly. As long as she has orajel, she's super happy, too!! Who does that?!! Last time around, she was somewhat of a nightmare, up every 30 minutes throughout the night. This time (maybe because we've done some sleept training now), she woke up once for 5 minutes, by the time we decided she probably needs more orajel, she was out again... til 7am!!! I seriously could not be more lucky. I absolutely LOVE being a mommy... especially to my sweet baby girl, Lexi!

Yesterday, I found my yarn and needle that I had bought while pregnant with lexi- with thoughts that I could actually make something like a blanket for her.. .haha- if I can find what I accomplished, I'll post a pic. Kinda funny! After laughing off my failed attempt to make a blanket, I got the bright idea of making a hat (cuz that's easier?!) I"m crazy. BUT- I think it actually turned out pretty darn good in the end! I'm sure it'll look a MILLION times better if she had longer hair though. hmm...

Today is Nick's "Friday" and it'll be an early day for him, so I'm pretty excited! I love being able to spend time with Nick at home. He works so hard and is gone SOOO much. -Some days, he doesn't even get to see Alexis (but he always gets up before he heads to work to give her a bottle and say hi). Nick and I wonder all the time how we got so lucky to have such a good baby. I mean- sure, she has her moments when it's rough, but for the most part, She is, for lack of a better word, perfect. It definitely makes me kind of scared to have another baby since she is so good. I can only imagine a second child being the polar opposite and giving me a real run for my money. Haha!

So I just looked down and realized that Lexi has found all the extra yarn I have and has managed to get her hand all caught up in it. LOL it is really soft, so I don't really blame her. I would want to play with it, too! :) Well, we're off to have some fun today! I think we'll go to the mall and Michaels today. I want to get her this! Then I have to find a 16x20 picture frame for her room and fabric to make her name banner. :) Maybe this weekend, we'll finish her room update...
