October pics

Wearing Mommy's hat
Yummy- squash is delicious! (Little did she know green beans would be next and she would like them even more! Pictures to come)

Smearing baby cereal all over her face but looking cute doing it


All worn out from helping make dinner. Ok, really she just sits there and talks to Mommy but it maks the night a lot more fun

4 month check up

Alexis had her 4 month check-up yesterday (we waited a week to get in with the pediatrician that we like). She is doing great- 14.4lbs (60th percentile) and 24.5 inches long (50th percentile). We have tried cereal a few times and she is getting more used to as I play with the consistency to see what she likes. The doctor said we can go ahead and start her on baby food- I can only imagine the mess that is going to make after seeing her when we are finished with cereal. I think I might have to start figuring out how to give her a bath in the sink to make it easier. She is a VERY chatty little girl and really enjoys chiming in on conversations while I am on the phone. She is still extremely happy as long as she is not hungry. Nighttime typically goes very well. This last weekend, I woke up before her and got a lot done before she woke up.
I am doing well in school and work is going good. There have been a lot of changes at work so the last month was kind of interesting catching up but I am getting used to things. I may never get used to setting my alarm for 4:03am (it has to be an odd number) and now that it is really dark when I am going to work, it stinks a little but I do love my afternoons with my princess so I guess it is all worth it. Just looking forward to a long weekend off for Thanksgiving and getting ready for Lexi's first Christmas!!!
