2 months and Milemarkers!

Wow, how time flies!! Can't believe Lexi is 2 months old today. We have had some milemarkers this week. Last weekend at Nana and Popi's over the 4th Lexi officially smiled when she was awake. We have seen that gummy smile several times this week. Yeah!

Tonight Lexi took her first bath where she didn't cry, we could hardly believe it. She also went to sleep like a charm at 8:00. Hopefully this will continue. Maybe that 2 month magic date has hit and we'll wake up in the morning running to her bed to see if she is still breathing....of course she will be, just slept through the night. One can wish, right?!?

Lexi is getting out her running legs and biking legs and gabbing up a storm. She looks at times as if she will flip over onto her back at any moment. Somehow that basketball round belly that she has with the cork stopper popping out seems to help in the turning and stopping. Ha!

Mommy is getting out on her own a bit. She went on her first 2 hour bike ride with a friend today, managed to go for a run this week, and runs errands while leaving Lexi behind with our sitter. Freedom, Sweet Freedom.

Yep, sitter. We have an incoming 7th grader that lives down the street coming to get experience with Lexi while one of us is at home. She is doing great! Cheap labor and a ton of help when I can get in a shower or run or just clean up while she holds Lexi on a fussy day, or plays with Lexi when she is awake. A couple hours here and there allows her to get some money to pay her texting bill. She is a quick learner and has fared well through some of Lexi's cranky moments. I don't know when I'll leave her by herself, but as long as we are in the area and her mom is home maybe sometime sooner than I had anticipated.

Lexi's room is getting closer to being done. Just waiting on some wall art that a friend is painting before hanging any of the other stuff. Her butterfly rug came this week and her crib is made. We'll be moving her to her crib soon, atleast for naps for the time being until she gets closer to sleeping through the night. Most nights she'll go a 5 hour stretch first, than a 3 hour stretch second. Sometimes she fights going back to sleep at 4 or 5 in the morning...I think she hears the birds and thinks...yeah, time to keep mommy and daddy up. Well, bedtime while we can. I"ll post more pictures next week!
