Month Two

At Two Months Old
Little Lexi went to the Doctors :( and received her first shots, She was such a brave little girl only crying a little.

By this time she had been babysat many times by loving family members.

She went to Utah, We drove 24+ hours and 1,000+ miles, she only cried when she needed to be fed or changed... 

Very good Travel companion.
We visited many members of the family and everyone adored Little Lexi.

We went camping 
at "Camp Zarahemla" with family members, and there was so much going on that sleeping was difficult.

Lexi Slept her first 6 hour block at Aunt Suzie's House.

We took 4 Generation Pictures 
with Grandma Sara's side of the Family and Grandpa Alan's Side of the family.

Grandma Sara wants to be called Navi and Grandpa Alan Wants to be Called "Lord Farquad".
(Ya My Family is VERY Weird)

Grandma Geri wants to be known as Granny and Grandpa Terry wants to be called Papa.

God Father Hank got to Hold her for the first time as well and he was instantly in Love! Every One was!
Check her out in her new Sun glasses that we got!

Her at the hospital waiting for dad to get discharged

Lexi also experienced her first Plane ride 
(Flying Standby) on Southwest Airlines.

We left Salt Lake City Airport at 1:30 in the afternoon and we were expecting a 1 hour 30 min. flight to Denver and from Denver a 1 hour and 30 min. flight to OKC with like no Layover!


We went through security smoothly and rush to our plane. we got 3 seats to ourselves and Lexi got the Window seat (not that she looked out the window).

She loved Take off, yawning like a pro.  
She stayed away nearly the entire time we were in the air.

The next flight was a little crowded and we didn't get 3 seats together. and was not able to take the car seat on the plane. 

Lexi had to sit on our lap Again she Loved take off, smiling and laughing the whole time. 

But Landing was not her favorite she would only cry for a few seconds, mostly the cabin pressure was not to her liking.

Weight: 11.8 lbs
Height: 23.5 inches

She Discovered her Tongue and learned to blow bubbles.

She if able to make the following noises:
Goo
Gra
Hi
Hol
Oo
Waa
Ahh
Lexi enjoys the pleasant conversations she has with adults.

She likes to look at her hands and feet. 

Showers and Baths are an enjoyable time, still. 

Binki is a have to thing, meaning she rarely requires it! 

She Laughs regularly, Which is enjoyable for anyone who is with her. 

She eats every 2-4 hours and usually will sleep about 10-20 min. 
and sleeps in 4-6 hour blocks at night! 

She has began to play in her Jenny Jump and is slowly learning how to use it. small bouncing and swinging. 


I believe one of the reasons you likes it is because she gets to be up right to look at everything and it feels like she is being held. 



She doesn't like it when the puppy comes and licks and/or chews on her socks.
Puppy also does "Kiss and Run" praying no one figures out that he just licked the baby!

She hasn't done much in the rolling department. 
Probably because Mom (me) is too busy teaching her to walk.

She Also Had Her first Halloween. 

She was dressed as Little Link! 
(Navi made her whole costume, the shield, and the tunic)


Grandma "Navi" was dressed as Midna
Grandpa "Farquad" was dressed as Grown up Link
Emily was Arial (Little Mermaid)

And I was a Fairy 
(Did my makeup in the car on the way to church)

I will have more next month. 
Till next time!
