Month Three

Dear Lexi,
This was a busy month for you. It started out with a relaxing week and then a lot of your relatives came to visit. You were a very popular little girl. It was a fun few weeks getting to hang out with everybody. After everyone left Daddy started school. That left you and me a lot of time to just hang out and try to get into a routine for when I started school. We finally worked something out to where you were going to bed around 6:30. It was great. You had a lot of first this month and a lot of milestones.
You learned how to grasp. I would put you in your high chair while daddy and I ate dinner. I put a few toys on the tray and you eventually learned how to grab them.
You found your hands. This was a big one because now they are your best friends. You don't want anything to do with your Paci anymore. All you want is your hands. It is really cute because you can only control them a little so sometimes it seems like they are fighting to be the one in your mouth.
You started to chatter a lot more. You would talk all the time. The cutest is when you sing along to Church songs. I would put them on in the car and the whole time you would go AAAAHHH AHHH AHH. You also sang along with daddy when he sang to you.
You started sitting up. Not a lot. But every once in awhile you would sit up for up to a minute.
You started taking Gymboree classes. You had so much fun and you were the highlight of the class. With your chunky little thighs and round cheeks. Everyone loved you. Plus you were so advanced. Everyone was impressed by your strength. You were holding your head up, you were sitting up, and you were standing with little assistance from mommy. You were also engaging. You smiled and were incredibly curious about your surroundings. The only thing you didn't like is the hand puppet of Gymbo the clown.
Dancing. You started to do this little dance thing while you are standing. You would wiggle your butt and puff it out. You would also sway your little hips. It was so cute.


Love,
Mommy

Bring on the Family

Dear Lexi,
On August 3, 2010 the Walker family came to Texas to visit. On August 5, 2010 the HEss family came to visit. And on August 7, 2010 the Matteson family from Georgia came to visit. We had all of daddy's brothers and sisters in town. All together there were 29 people in town. You were the hit of the party! Everyone loved being with you, holding you, and playing with you. You got to meet all of your cousins, Aunts, and Uncles. I also got to meet everyone. It was a very enjoyable week for our family.





Love,
Mommy

Family Pictures

Dear Lexi,
We had our family pictures taken on August 1, 2010. This was the first time that we had professional pictures done for our family. The actual photo shoot wasn't too bad. You were happy as long as you were taking pictures with Daddy or me, but when we tried to get you to do them by yourself you got really mad. We got a lot of really good pictures of our little family.








I love you Lexi,

Love,
Mommy
