My chubby monkey!

So this past weekend was kind of a bust! We played the entire time inside! Lexi was in a pretty good mood, but she's been skimping on her naps so I've been pretty exhausted by the time Nick gets home. I feel pretty bad just crashing or being a little grump when Nick gets home, so this week- I'm going to be happy. It's always a choice to be happy, so I'm going to forget how tired I am and just be happy!

Lexi is hanging out on my bed right now 1/2 way in her sleep sack still. I LOVE that she is mobile now. She starts off snuggling with me, then decides it's time to lay on her back and stare at the ceiling fan and then snuggle (try to...) with Klepto Kitty. We call her Klepto because she brings us the most RANDOM things... and leaves them burried in our bed. It's always a surprise what we get to put away when we go to bed at night.

I'm probably taking a million pictures a day so I can remember how chunky her little legs are. I never want to forget these adroable little details!! Lexi is such a chunky monkey! I'm not sure how tall she is now but she was 18.5 pounds a couple weeks ago when I took her into the dr for a rash I was unsure of. Now that she's crawling, everyone tells me that she'll slim right down. I never want to forget her chunky baby stage. Afterall, it's really the only time when everyone seems to agree that chunky is cute! haha

 I love these chubby cheeks and 2-toothed grins! (and- as always her amazing BLUE eyes!)

She's a little monkey crawler!! :)

Yesterday, we went to Hollands first birthday party. It was so cold out, so the party was moved inside. We all had a pretty good time. It's fun hanging out with other babies and their parents!! It turned out that Holland's grammie is a baby/ child photographer, so I kept the camera in the car and stayed out of her way. I'm sure she got some GREAT shots, which Jennifer said she'd email us. Needless to say, when I get them, they'll be on here. :) She was dressed in her "party" dress and Maddie bow. super cute- as always!!

It got me so excited for Lexi's first birthday!! Hers will be so much different, but I'm so excited to see how the other mama's in the mom's group celebrate their LO's big FIRST birthday! :)

Well, I'm going to take off for now. It's time for Alexis to get some lovin's. Happy Monday!! Enjoy this two-day break from the storms!!
