A New Season

Well, technically Spring has sprung here in Virginia, but you'd never know it by the weather. We're looking forward to doing more with Lexie as the weather gets warmer. She loves being out and about.

We had Lexie's 6-month well baby visit last week and she's doing great. (We're actually switching pediatricians, and I'm so much happier with her new doctor.) You can see on the "Watch Me Grow" sidebar to the right that she's growing like a weed! She's such a happy baby...always smiling. She's sitting up on her own now, and when she's on her tummy she'll pull her knees up under her and try to push off, but doesn't really get anywhere yet. But it won't be long before we have a mobile baby! Let the babyproofing begin in earnest!

To that end, we're finally getting geared up to get all the finish carpentry done inside the house. We're also taking the pool out this year and rebuilding the back deck. So, lots of projects still in the works.

Lexie is eating at least one meal of solids per day. She LOVES to eat. Carrots are her favorite. We're excited to give her some Cheerios for the first time, but that may be a few weeks away yet...

We're having a baby play date this weekend with two of the other babies born around the same time Lexie was. We're seeing our friend Emma again, and getting to meet baby Grant for the first time. Lexie loves all the other babies in her daycare class, so I'm excited to see how she interacts with a new face.

And now...a few pictures...

Everything winds up in her mouth these days....

Her first snowstorm. She is not amused....

This is how she ends up after most car rides....

Happy, happy baby! Daddy took the day off to spend with her at home.

Like father, like daughter....

The day after her 4 month shots - I can't tell if it's the fever making her face pink, or the fact that she's surrounded by pink...
Tummy time is fun!

Hope you all are well. I have LOTS more pictures to post. Some new pro pics, and some of our visit with Lexie's Great Great Aunt Hazel.
Lots of love!!

You think so? I can never tell which one of us she looks like. But thanks! :)
