Time with Lexy

I noticed that Lexy looks at her dad in a way that I never see her look at anyone else. It's so crazy because she is only six (almost 7) months old, but she looks at him with such a look of love and awe in her face that just screams "I love my daddy and he is my hero!" Like yesterday, we were listening to Led Zeppelin, and Robert was singing along with this one part in a real high pitched voice and Lexy was watching him and just started laughing and laughing so hard and wouldn't stop!! It kept going on for so long that I actually started crying because I just got so emotional....I know, I know, I'm Always emotional. :)
Robert tells me that he noticed that when I come home from work she acts different than when he comes home or when she sees anyone else...and that makes me feel so good because you don't really notice things like that until someone points them out. She does kinda spazz out and grunt and wave her arms around like she's having a seizure or something when she sees me...oh and she has a big huge smile on her face!
But, I've noticed that she is getting weird with me, like when I leave her alone, after I've come home from work, she crys really hard now! She never did that before, but we think it's because she doesn't really see me that much...so when she does, she wants me to hold her every second so that I don't disapear again. She even fights going to sleep! Even though she is so tired and rubbing her bloodshot eyes, she will start to close them for a second and then, wham, she jolts awake and lets out a small cry like she's mad that she's falling asleep! Lately, she has been falling asleep in my arms, it's so crazy.
I feel so sad sometimes that I can't be with her more. Even on the weekends it's weird because I'm so used to going to work that I don't really know what to do with her in the mornings...like a routine...I just want to hang out with her and she wants to hang out with me...so Saturdays are basically us just sitting together holding on to each other and not wanting to let go! Oh well, I'm not complaining...or maybe I am...I just wish I had more time with her cause I feel like she is growing so fast and I want to witness every second of it!


She has the goofiest (is that a word?) look on her face here!


An action shot! :) She loves playing on the floor with her toys and hitting her sunflower to make it play music. She is practicing going from a sitting to a crawling postion...sometimes it doesn't work out and she goes backwards!

You guys are soooo adorable. It's hard to believe that Lexy even cries. She's such a happy baby! I hope my baby is as happy as Lexy. Soon you're going to be able to spend every morning (and every singly minute of the day) with her!

oh Jessica...that makes me so sad. I can only imagine how hard it must be to leave her every day to go to work. I tell Gerric all the time that I don't want to work and we don't even have any kids yet! But I know when the time comes, I will have to work. Just know that the time you do spend with her, she cherishes so much. You three are such a beautiful family. I would have started crying too! That's SO sweet!
