2 Months Today

January 16 - Two Months old today

Do I look like my daddy right now or what?

Uncle Joe would love my Scottish plaid

 the first of many new years together

What do you mean you're going to 

leave me here with Grampa Mike?!

Two months old today!  

Alexis, your personality continues to grow, and with it, so do our hearts. You are so much more alert, and we find that we could spend hours watching you smile at us and listening to you coo. You are such a happy baby, and you love to look at mommy and daddy, out the window, at the television and at the fireplace. Ceiling fans always get a smile out of you, and you are so happy sitting up or looking over our shoulders. You have begun to notice yourself in the mirror and have great fun grinning at the beautiful little girl you see in the reflection.

Each day seems to lead to a new discovery for you. Right now, you are fascinated by your hands. While they haven't gone in your mouth yet, it's just a matter of time. You LOVE to be on your changing table and can't help but grin and giggle each time we put you there. And those legs are always kicking. We have a hard time keeping you still long enough to change your diaper. It seems you're just too eager to explore the world around you to sit still. What fun you seem to be having as you stare up at us. You love napping on your boppy pillow, and when you're awake on your tummy, you always test out those arms. You have had your first babysitters (nanny and grampa), your first holiday season, your first walk in the stroller, you went out to dinner with us, have had several playdates, you helped us welcome in a new year, and next weekend, you'll join me on a trip to NH.  And all this excitement and activity must tucker you out as you slept for seven hours three nights this week - hurray! 

At your seven-week doctor's appointment, you weighed 9 pounds, 12 ounces and were 21 inches tall. You're still a peanut, but you're growing by the day. Dr. Homa commented on your strong grip, and we are so proud of our determined little girl. Lexi, you bring such happiness and joy to our lives. How will you grow and change in your third month? We can hardly wait to find out.

All our love always,

Mom and Dad
