Welcome Cousin Ashton!

Here's a picture of Lexy's newest cousin, Ashton! He was born last friday May 25th and she can't wait to meet him! Congratulations Jason and Charlie! :)

Here's Lexy showing off in her pretty blue dress...I think she's trying to curtsey...

What a spazz! This picture makes me laugh!

Lexy and mommy!

A Visit to State Farm- Congrats Candice!

Lexy got all dressed up to visit her Auntie Candice at her State Farm office grand opening party! Too bad we were way late and missed the party!! :( But at least we got to see Candice's new office and hang out for a while. Thanks Great Aunt Cheryl, Jacqueline, Amanda and Aryton for the very cute outfit! She wears it almost every single day!!!
Here's a pic from the baptism after party that I love...and just had to throw in so I can look at it online anytime I want!!....my baby and her daddy (so proud)! What a couple of cuties!
Also, did I mention that he surprised me with Lexy by showing up for lunch at my office last week and totally made my day!! What a thoughtful guy and what a great surprise!
So back to the office visit....Here's Candice and Lexy hard at work at Candice's desk! She loves her good neigh-bear and state farm bib! And YES, Lexy officially has Life Insurance! ;)

Such A Cutie!

I just had to put some more pictures up of my little cutie! I swear, she is getting so big! She is able to stand up now (with you holding her hands) and balance pretty good. She also, cannot keep her two fingers out of her mouth!!
Here she is posing, lips puckered, wearing her princess crown from Aunt Candice and her new outfit that Blanca got her!
We got her a new high chair (that fits into a regular chair) so she can sit at the table with us. There is a tray that attaches, but without it, she can scoot right up to the table and play and read her book while mommy and daddy eat! She is totally content as long as she is included in our activities! :)

This is my favorite picture! We bought her this toy with the gift cards we got from Catherine and Debbie and she LOVES it!! She jumps and plays and screams and smiles....seriously, she has a small party in here! She goes so crazy that she uses all her energy and, as you can see in the picture, passes out! This is the best toy ever invented and I STRONGLY suggest getting one if you have a baby! She is so proud of herself when she is jumping and swaying back and forth and if you put her song on for her to dance to (avril lavigne "i don't like your girlfriend") she will bounce and jump so hard that it sounds like she is going to break it!! :) It is very entertaining!

Lexy's 1st A's Game!

Here are some of the pictures taken at Lexy's very 1st A's game! Candice, Darren and Missy joined us for a tailgate and game on Sunday which was so much fun! Lexy was obviously the cutest baby there all decked out in A's gear and her A's blanket. ;) We had so much fun and the A's even came back to win in the bottom of the 9th (classic A's style) with first a 2 run homerun by Bradley to tie it and then a winning 3 run homer by Cust!! We went crazy! Lexy was even excited watching mommy screaming at the top of her lungs and jumping up and down and shaking with excitement! I'm so happy that her 1st experience was a good one....because there are many many many more games in her future! :)

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!!

So Fashionable!

What a movie star wanna be huh?? She is so cute and happy in her sunglasses! I totally thought that she would hate wearing them, but once again...the bunny is happy and likes her glasses. Too funny! :) She also figured out how to do this high pitched scream now. She yells and screams and then smiles at you because she is testing her vocal chords and loves the sound of her own voice!! It is so funny to listen to her...she goes on and on talking and yelling at her toys....
Her is Alexya in her new outfit from Grandma Theresa. What a cutie!!
Here she is in her outfit she got from Missy! Where is the A's bib?? Geeze I gotta go shopping!!
And here's Lexy with Grandma Jeanne at their new home. We had so much fun on our visit!!!

Bath Time Bunny!

We went to visit Grandma and Grandpa in Browns Valley this week and here are some of the pics of Lexy enjoying her bath time...which is her FAVORITE time! She loves her baths so I thought I would share them with everyone. She is almost 4 months old now and is changing so much! She is really laughing now and it's so cute to see and hear her laugh! What a sweetheart she is. She is also teething I think because she can't keep her hands out of her mouth and anything (or anyone :)) that gets near her hands is going into her mouth...it's funny. She also bites down very hard on your finger if you let her and drools all over and chews on her bibs now. She loves to stare at you when you're talking or telling a story, like it's total entertainment for her, then if you make eye contact with her she gets embarassed and smiles at you...like you caught her staring...so funny. I have a zillion stories, but I don't want to go crazy here...so if you want to visit please do...I only have 2 1/2wks till I go back to work and would love visitors before I am totally exhausted again! :) Also, if you didn't receive the baptism evite please let me know!


 

Bunny!

Here are some new photos of our little bunny, which is her nickname Robert gave her. She is so active and happy right now it is so much fun. She loves looking around at everything and when she sees your face she smiles so big that you feel so good! :) She has started putting everything in her mouth and drooling all over whatever she can get in there! She also is just talking and talking. You can lay her down by herself and she will just look around and talk to herself forever. She also really loves standing up and when you hold her and make her dance around she smiles and laughs so hard it's so funny to watch! It's really been fun watching how much she's changing. She's even trying her hardest to sit up and roll over, but not yet! Another thing she loves is taking baths! She would take a bath every single day if she could. She gets so happy in the water and since the tub is on the sink by the mirror, she just stares at herself in the "other tub" and talks and smiles at herself. It is so fun to watch how much she enjoys it. She is such a happy baby and we are SO LUCKY.

I am sending out the evite to her baptism and if you don't get it please email me...I tried to get everyone's email address, but I may have missed some...so if you don't get it please let me know and I will send it to you right away! Also, please feel free to come and visit us and see the bunny in action. She will steal your heart! :)
