More new people...

This past week my Uncle Jody, Aunt Jaci & cousins Abby & Jarad came down. It was their spring break & they wanted to meet Lexi so bad! They also brought my mom down with them. Mom hasn't seen Lexi since the week after she was born. My how things have changed since then!! Lexi loved getting to know more new family members! She is also VERY excited to meet her other cousins and Uncle Tom & Aunt Mandy at Easter. All 3 of us are very excited for that. My whole family will get to spend Easter weekend with us. I can't wait!!!


Jar holding her for the 1st time. He told me he couldn't wait to grow up so he can be a dad. How sweet!!!


Ab & Lexi in their KU clothes! :)

Just talking to Grandma


Her Easter basket from Grandma Shell... it was about twice her size!



Here are some pictures of what Lexi has been up to lately.

Be careful what you wish for... Daddy has said in the past his children will never suck their thumb. Well... look who has found her thumb. She actually prefers it over her pacifier most of the time. I think it's kinda cute!




She loves to smile. There is nothing that will melt your heart faster!!

Sitting up... she's not the biggest fan of this, but she doesn't get too mad at me.


Oh my... just another CUTE outfit!

After her 1st round of shots. Two in one leg then one in the other. She was such a trooper! She cried/screamed at the time, but by the time we got to the car, she was asleep. She slept most of the day, and never really cried again. I was pleasantly surprised!

Even though she didn't cry, she still wasn't herself. I guess she just needed daddy to snuggle with. In case you don't know, daddy seems to make everything better!!







She doesn't know what to make of the talking bear Grandma Shell got her for Easter.


As of this past Thursday, Alexia weighs 11lbs 13oz and is 23 inches long. She is in the 75 percentile for her age. Just didn't want anybody thinking she doesn't eat enough. :)

T.V. time w/Daddy

Busy, Busy, Busy

Little Miss Lexi has been a busy girl recently. A couple weeks after Papa Jason & Grandma Nean left, Uncle Jeremy, Aunt Christie, Maddie, & Parker came to visit. It was so much fun meeting new cousins! (Sorry- this is a pretty long post)

Lexi did so good letting them hold her!







Getting some snuggles from Maddie!

We went bowling one day...

Not so much a fan of the bowling alley.

Then we went to the Zoo

She could have cared less to see all the fun animals.

Cute Kiddos!

Yep- this face sums it all up. (If you look real close, you can see an elephant in the back)

On Monday we have a new wave of people coming into town. It's my Uncle Jody, Aunt Jaci, Abby, Jarad, and my mom. We are so excited for Lexi to meet more new people! So during the "break" from people we discovered she has had a cold. What a helpless feeling as a mother. There really isn't anything I can do to make it better. When she isn't fussy, she is all smiles. Just look below for my proof! :)









I love this little girl so much!!!

Just showing off her new shades.

"Playing" with her rattle. I think it looks like she is ready to start talking on the phone. That's my girl!!

Changing

Well, it's official. Our baby girl is changing. Some of the changes are good, the others just make me sad. She has moved up to size 1 diapers, I've taken all of her newborn size clothes out of the closet, and she is starting to change in looks. It is crazy how fast time goes!


Every time I look at this picture it makes me laugh!
I love the look on her face.






She loves daddy!!!

Working on holding that head up.


Another goofy face



I feel like she is saying, "Haha... I'm snuggling with dad."

My little doll

Just hanging out with daddy.

So far, being a mom has been more incredible than I could have imagined.

Mike & I are so blessed!!

Little Model

Mondays are Mike's day off, so we had Andrea McKay come and take some pictures of Lexi. Below are a few of my favorites. Krystal Mann was also able to come take some pictures for us, but we don't have those back yet. We figure why not have as many pictures as possible, right?!?! :)
