This had better work! I feel as though I am murdering my child. I hope she catches on quickly.

We really should give her more tummy time. But she hates it!

Lexi Rollover

Lexi is growing fat, I mean fast. She isn’t much longer than last month but is over 14 pounds at the beginning of her third month.

Our little Lexi Kinz likes to put everything in her mouth including her thumb and clothes

She likes to pull hair

She is experimenting very loudly with her voice

She had great fun with her Aunties (despite the indifferent look on her face here)

Lexi loves to laugh and giggle…maybe someday I will catch it on video…and she hates tummy time.

Lexi does, however, like to sit in her Bumbo.

She is still an excellent sleeper. Just recently she started going to bed at 9 or 10 instead of 11 or 12. Hooray for sleep.

We love our little Lexi (and perhaps someday she will look at the camera)

It was a wonderful, bright and windy day.

Lexi’s Grandma McBride made her the beautiful dress

Here is GMa’s handy work close up

Here is Lexi enjoying her dress

Lexi is now over 2 months old. She’s about 13 pounds and 25 inches long. The last few weeks she’s been

Smiling
Laughing/Cooing/Squealing
Crying less!!!!!!
Sleeping about 7 hours a night
Eating her hands
Playing with her toys

She’s also been to two movies. What a good baby!

Lexi is one month old and 10.6 pounds! My sister took tons of pictures while she was here, so we will share.

Pooping

Hip, hip, hooray! Lexi is getting better. After going to the doctor’s/hospital everyday for almost two weeks and using light therapy at home, her bilirubin count is finally going down and should stay down. She looks much less yellow and is acting a lot more like a newborn. Instead of sleeping 5-6 hours, she sleeps 2-3. Who knew I would be thankful for less sleep. Light therapy is over, and we don’t have to go to the doctors for another week!

Here she is at 24 (she looks like she’s praying):

Here she is at about 17 (wearing the bili blanket):

And today at an 11 (her left eye is still pretty yellow):

We are so happy to have our little Lexi home with us. Ellexis Kinzy McBride was born on March 17, 2010 at 1:16 pm after only 30 minutes of pushing. She weighed 8 lbs. 1 oz. and was 19.5 inches long. After a couple nights of wonderful help from the nurses at the hospital, we thought we were finally ready to bring her home. Little did we know she was slowly turning yellow. On Sunday we went back to the hospital for a serious case of jaundice. Thankfully, they got her feeling better, and by Monday night we were finally able to have her home with us for good.

Here is Lexi with her Mommy and Daddy.

One of her first pair of pajamas were the bunny pajamas that her aunt Quin gave her, they are soooo soft. She even tried on the headband her mommy made for her.

Isn’t she soooo cute.

“Please, no more pictures. Let me sleep.”

Thank you family and friends for two very fun baby showers. I got tons of cute clothes and things I need for this soon-to-arrive baby.

My first shower was over Christmas break. It was planned by my sister and in-laws.

(Fun facts: I made the necklace my sister is wearing…and I’m totally stuffing my face with party food; note the cracker in hand.)

My family got crafty on some onesies.

Then I had a baby shower in NC a few weeks ago hosted by some wonderful friends.

We played a fun game of baby pictionary. It was pretty hilarious watching people try to draw breast feeding and yelling out “Bottle! Nipple!”

Thank You for two very fun nights of celebrating this little girl.
