Happy 5 Months Baby Lexi!!!!!

I think I say this with every new month, but I cannot believe she is 5 months old. I feel like it was yesterday that I was waiting in the doctor's office for my ultrasound. The 'official' ultrasound to tell us for sure (yea, I know.. not always) what we were going to have. I had an u/s at 14w for fun b/c my first doctor wasn't busy, so he gave me an impromptu u/s. He didn't see anything, so he thought maybe girl, but of course too early to tell. Then at 17-18w, we had another.. and still didn't see anything, but I needed to know about those 3 little lines to make for sure... then the good u/s at 20w.. and it was confirmed. 3d/4d ultrasound showed Layla was going to have a little sister and I couldn't believe it. Now, I can't imagine my life without them. :)

It's Tuesday?

This weekend went by way too fast. I am all in favor of all weekends being 3 days. 4 days working (for those who work or whose husbands work, etc).. and 3 days off. That just seems more fair.

This weekend I had a breakdown. I thought I lost my camera and I was so sad. My camera bag was gone. We went to one of Layla's 'friends' birthday party this weekend and I thought I'd get some pictures, so I took my camera. Inside the bag was also my video camera.. which I have NEVER unloaded any videos off of.

This video camera is not anything snazzy like my camera, but it means more to me than anything because of the memories it holds. Layla's 2nd christmas, her 1st dance recital, her 2nd birthday, her 3rd and Lexi's 1st christmas, Layla meeting Lexi for the first time. It's just endless. I have never unloaded the videos b/c we are lacking in memory space and I need to clean up our computer and back up files. I'm HORRIBLE and remembering that.

Ryan accidentally left the car unlocked and I thought someone had stolen the camera. We couldn't find it anywhere, my friend looked at her house, didn't see it. It was awful! But ... finally it was found! Yay! The kids had moved the camera bag somehow at the party and my friend found it in a very odd place.

Lesson learned. Upload and backup as soon as you can! That's another resolution that I have now. So what if it's 3 months late ;)

catching up...

Lexi is now almost 4 months old, but I need to post her 3 month pictures. I think I'm going to try to stick with my New Year's Resolution to follow through with more things.. and try to maybe do new things, but I don't know if that on will stick, lol!




It is seriously crazy how she has grown so much since she was born. It's too fast!







I just love babies. I know a lot of people hate the infant stage and love when they get older and more self-sufficient, but I love when they're teeny tiny too. I just hate that it goes by so fast!

FIrst blog post ever..

So I have decided that I want to be one of the "cool" people and have a blog.  I think I'll probably suck at it.. and it will probably be something that I forget about except for random moments. But I guess that's what all blogs are.. random thoughts.  I guess I might be good at that, I'm pretty random, lol. 

I think this will be a work in progress.. and it will take some getting used to.  I like to write, I always have.. but my words are usually all over the place and it takes a lot of editing to get them in the right order :) 

Today, like most days, is a busy day here.  Layla has music class on Wednesdays and that's always fun.  Except today she was wild and running all over the place.  She's always been her own person though.  All the other kids are clingy and sit with their moms, but not Layla.  She is up and adventuring out all over the place, visiting the other kids and parents.  She comes back to me when she needs to and I guess that's all that matters :) 

Lexi is still figuring everything out.  She still likes to look and examine her surroundings like most babies do. She is very inquisitive and likes to be held.  It's different from Layla, their little personalities are already showing how different they are going to be.  Layla is so independent, but Lexi is seemingly more cuddly.  I wonder if she'll stay that way!
