Happy 4 month Birthday Lexi!! (4-7-2011)

Lexi Lynn

4 months

12 pounds 13 ounces

24 1/2 inches long

Eating

You are a pretty small eater when it comes to breastmilk/formula. 

You only eat 4oz ever 3 hours but I think this had to do with your reflux.

You started solids last Wednesday. 

So far you have had carrots, butternut squash, and sweet potatoes! 

You eat half a jar each time and love it! 

After you eat your num nums you get some pedialyte from the sippy cup

you hold the sippy cup by yourself now :)

Sleeping

You are a great sleeper, but thankfully you always have been!

You pushed your bedtime back to 9pm but you sleep in so that is okay!

No matter where you are you are almost always asleep by 9!

You get a bath around 8 then you read a book and off to bed you go! 

You have been getting great at putting yourself to sleep. 

You will sit there and talk and goo and then fall asleep. 

You don't like blankets at all though! 

Still in mommy and daddy's room but it works for us.

You just got an apnea monitor so we shall see how you do on that. \

Talking and Laughing

You love to talk all the time! Definitely getting more vocal!

You love to respond and talk to 'Your baby can read'

You used to chuckle and today you belly laughed for the 1st time for me.

It was so cute I almost cried.

Randoms

You LOVE baths, its so cute!!

You are beginning to grab toys intentionally. 

You love to stand.

You have rolled over a whole bunch now :) 

You don't really care for tummy time very much. 

You like your back much better. 

You love to be held, alot. But I love it!

You love your Moby.

There are so many things I could say about you baby girl that it is crazy! But these are the important things for now. You are our life and we are so thankful that you cam into it. You are my world and make my world go round. We have had a rough 4 months but they were so very worth it! You are growing more and more every single day baby girl! I love you so much <3 You keep mommy smiling!! Don't you ever forget just how much you mean to us. 

Here are a few more pics of the days events yesterday. Today we are going to take your pictures at city park and I will post those later! 

Baby feet!

Tuesdays are the hubby's weekend so as you can guess it was a busy one with too much to do!! Well first we went to the aquarium and then off to the go grocery shopping! Then came home and put groceries away and cleaned, cooked and did laundry. needless to say last night I was exhausted! here is some pics to re-cap the day <3

What a wonderful start to the week!!!

 Everyday I am reminded again and again just how Blessed we are By Our God and Savior! There are many reasons I say this but one of them is pretty exciting! I was checking the blogs that I follow this morning, one of them being Little Rays of Sunshine, http://morrowsunshine.blogspot.com/   and I found out that I was the winner of her giveaway!! What a tremendous blessing! I am making new friends and winning stuff now! I'm very excited!! Thank you very much :) Lexi is guna LOVE this hat and leg warmer set!! <3

Another reason that I say we are so blessed is because we have a beautiful, healthy (other than a couple issues but nothing major), thriving little girl! She brightens my world more and more everyday. Today we are praying for a friend of ours whose little boy is undergoing heart surgery as we speak. Any prayers we are certainly thankful for. We do know that God has had his  hand on this situation from day one and everything happening is in his will for this baby boy! He is so handsome too may i say!

Well now we are off to go clean and try to enjoy some of this extremely windy weather :)

Wow What A Wednesday!!

Today has been quite interesting!! This morning I was woken up at bout 2 to some terrible weather and I didn't really think too much of it but boy did i miss it! There was apparently a tornado that touched down by my family's house and did some damage. So today we have been busy cleaning up debris from that and taking pics of it. I will post some of those as soon as I have a spare moment.

On a much happier and more exciting note, Lexi got her first solid food today! And she loved it! We gave her carrots and she didn't spit them out until she was full! Yay for Lexi! My baby girl is getting so big!! Will post those pics at a later time too..

Yesterday we took a trip to Baton Rouge just for the day and had dinner with Ryan's cousin and her family. It was a wonderful day! I also have pics from that!!

Later tonight I will be making my first round of Lexi's homemade baby food and I am very excited!! I will let ya know how it turns out for me :) I also have a bunch of cleaning to do! So I will prob get around to posting pics tom when hubster goes back to work!! <3

Ohhh Monday how we love you :)

This weekend has been a very fun weekend!! Saturday was Lexi's friend Veda's 2nd birthday and she had a blast!! It was Sesame Street themed and Lexi got her own personal rubber duckie :) she loves it!! Then we went to dinner with her Great Aunt and Great grandpa! It was delicious!!

We went to church Sunday morning and she wore her new bow I made her :) It was a Louis Vuitton design bottle cap but it just so happens Lexi's initials are LV too so it worked out perfectly!! We then went out to my friend Gabby's moms house and Lexi spent some time with her bestie Neela. (pics coming soon) and we went out to mother in laws for bbg for hubby birthday.

Today mommy went out for some mommy time with Sheila. Had a blast!! Tomorrow we have a very busy day so Im sure ill have more pics to post ;)

Decisions, Decisions...

My head is everywhere right now!! I'm so confused! I know i want to make Lexi's baby food but how? Do I buy the expensive Baby Brezza with no accessories and not so great reviews?? Or do I splurge on the baby bullet (that i really want) that comes with all kinds of neat accessories and a steamer??? Or shall I just buy the cheap Babies R Us blender deal?? Or maybe even just steam my own veggies and use the family blender?

Have I ever mentioned I HATE making decisions! This is so difficult for me. I know what I would like to do but I feel sooo bad spending sooo much of the hubby's hard earned money on something when I could use household appliances and inconvenience myself. Then I have people saying its a waste but it seems like a good idea to  buy something handy!

Then I wonder do i need a cookbook?? If so which one? Should I also buy a silicone ice cube tray? Soo many decisions. I do not like this one bit! And the hubby isn't much help lol I love him though!

So here I sit debating, researching, and going back and forth...
