Hi, everyone! It's hard to believe that Lexie is 5 weeks old! She's already changed so much in the short time she's been here.
We haven't been back to the pediatrician since my last post, so we're not exactly sure what she weighs, but she's gone through at least two growth spurts since then, so I'm sure she's put on a few ounces... :) She's definitely got a healthy appetite. At some feedings, she's taking five ounces! Of course, other times she'll take two, so the kid's a little finicky (like her mom?).
She's starting to smile socially, and it just lights up the room when she does it. Her grin is infectious, and you just can't help but smile back when she smiles at you.

We've been going on lots of field trips. She's a good traveler, and almost always falls asleep in the car. We haven't had to take her on a car ride to get her to go to sleep at night yet, but we've got it in reserve... We've visited Daddy at work several times.
It's not all smiles and sunshine, though....
Overall, she's got a pretty laid back personality (at least for now...I'm told that kids can turn on you in the blink of an eye! :). A lot of the day, we just hang out and talk to each other. Other times, she likes to be on her own for awhile. And her Soothie is her best friend...
She's starting to find her voice and is beginning to coo and almost giggle. (Daddy can't wait for that to happen.) Enjoy the following video, but please ignore the Mommy voice... It just comes out without my thinking about it...not very flattering...but she sure is cute!
Lots of love to you all!!
