Alexya's Baptism

She did it! Alexya got baptized on Sunday in front of her family and friends at St. Perpetua Catholic Church. We are so happy and proud of her..she did great through the entire ceremony (with the exception of the organ scaring her awake from a nap at the end). She didn't cry when she got baptized, in fact she looked up at Father John with this look of concentration on her face like she was really listening to what he was saying. It was so cute. Thank you to everyone that attended and thank you for all of the beautiful cards and gifts from everyone. We are so lucky and happy to have so many people around her that love her and support her. She had so much fun at the party afterwards too...she got to spend time with both her grandmas and many of her great aunts and cousins and her friends and aunts and uncles and so on....basically she was surrounded by loved ones! She stayed awake through the whole thing, even though she was so tired, she was having a great time laughing and playing with everyone who would hold her. What a great day!

Here's Lexy spending quality time with Sushuma (this was their first time meeting each other)...and it's about time! :) Sush needs to visit more often cause Lexy loves her!
Here's Alexya with her cousin Jazzlynn...this was the first time they got to meet each other and they look so cute together! Lexy is 2 months older than Jazzy exactly. She was born November 27th and Jazzlynn was born January 26th....they even have similar taste in clothes....and they were trying to hold hands :) CUTIES!!

Back to Work

So Lexy is going to be five months in like 3 days and she is so different! I put some pics of her with Torett0 (her BFF) because she loves him so much it is crazy!! She watches him wherever he goes and reaches out for him to come over to her and grabs his fur and rips it out and loves to feel it with her hands and feet. They are so cute together! He totally watches over her and lets her do whatever she wants to him...in between licking her face and legs! :) She has learned to roll over and hold her head up really good while laying on her tummy. She wants to crawl so bad...but she can't yet. For now she just lays there and looks from side to side and drools and smiles at you...like she's proud of herself! :)
She is also getting used to being home with Daddy while Mommy is at work. It is so hard to leave her in the mornings because she just lays there in bed staring at me and watching me get ready for work. I actually enjoy being back at work, but the commute is the worst thing ever. We definately are looking to move now so that I don't have to drive so far (1 1/2 hours each way!). I have to leave so early and by the time I get home after sitting in traffic I am just wiped out. But let me tell you, I love coming home to my cuties!! Robert is so great on his days off at taking care of Lexy and he even is now making these gourmet meals for dinner for me!! I'm loving it! I also love the fact that he takes care of her, just the two of them, because they have totally bonded in a way that never would have happened if I had always been around. He even noticed that he feels different about her...a way that's more protective and responsible for her. So, actually, going back to work has been a blessing in the way of bringing Lexy and her Daddy closer. :)

4 Months Old!!

I can't believe Alexya is 4 months old already!! Time has gone by so fast. We went in for her doctor apt Thursday...for more shots :( Poor thing...they make you lay her on the table and they give her 3 seperate shots in her thighs then one liquid one in her mouth. I tried to distract her and it worked for the first shot, but the second one she screamed and started to cry and by the third one...her face got all red and she was hysterical. I felt so bad. :( Then the liquid one she liked and started to calm down and then we gave her the liquid tylenol drops (which she loves) so she was ok, but still had lingering tears in her eyes as we left the doctor's office. Also, as we were leaving, we could hear another baby in the "shots room" screaming...what a torture chamber! Anyway, she's fine now and she is officially 2ft tall and weighs 13 lbs exactly! She's a bean pole!...well except for her thighs (thanx mom) ;) She loves her A's mobile and hanging out in her green elephant crib. Yay, baseball season starts today! Go A's!!
