Alexa

I wanted to make a little post about Alexa and how wonderful she is since a lot of our attention is now going to our little Preston boy, I thought I'd take a little time to talk about our little Lexi :o) Well first off, Alexa is such a girlie girl! She loves wearing high heels around the house, loves to take care of her baby dolls, (taking them shopping, changing their stinky diapers, burping them after she feeds them, and making sure it is quiet in the house when her dollies are sleeping, oh and she will even give them a time out if they do something bad like hitting or spitting). She loves to put on make-up whenever mommy or Nana is putting on make-up, and loves changing into different outfits, multiple times a day. Alexa is also very motherly and is such a sweet girl who loves her little brother! She is also a TALKER (to say the least!) It's not stop talking All Day Long!!! Sometimes we have to ask her to not talk for a few minutes during the day so our ears can get a little break! lol She is just so curious, she asks the infamous "why" question all day long... she also loves being the center of attention! Today she even said, "I'm in charge".... what's it going to be like when she's a teener??? :o/ She loves to sing, mostly primary songs like "I am a Child of God" "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam" and "I Love to See the Temple" which is super cute! She is currently obsessed with rockets and wants a pink one to ride in! She has told me multiple times recently that when she grows up she wants to be an "engineer to drive rocket ships!" Oh and lastly, Alexa is such a WONDERFUL eater! I have never seen or heard of a child that eats as many things as Alexa does out of their own free will. She loves salad (she has even asked to have it for breakfast!!), red peppers, broccoli, edamame beans, hardy wheat bread, almonds and practically anything we ask her to try. I couldn't ask for a better eater! She honestly eats better than I do!!!
Anyway, Alexa is such a sweet little girl that is growing so fast! She brings us so much joy and excitment in our lives and I am so thankful she is in a our little family!

2 months old

Today Preston turned 2 months old! It is so true that time flies when you have kids! I took him to the doctor today to get measured and get some shots :o( Well he weighs 13 lbs and 13 oz (91%) is 23 1/2" long (71%) and head circumference was 16 1/2" (also in the 90%). What can I say...we grow 'em big! lol Preston really is getting to be so big!! He smiles now and even lets out a few of the cutest chuckles!! He can wear up to 6 month clothing now! He is also a huge snuggler, which I love! He sleeps very well- he wakes up only once to feed but we both end up falling asleep in bed shortly after or during the feeding so I'm not too bothered by getting up that once. On another note, Preston's Great Grandma Charlotte sent him some money for his "birth-day" and we went on a fun shopping spree and got him some super fun toys and new outfits :o) THANKS SO MUCH Gma!!! Ill see if I can get some pictures of him with the things we bought. Oh and Alexa also got some new toys from Gma Charlotte as well... a dollie crib and some dollie clothes and she absoultely LOVES these!! Every night Alexa has made sure her baby is sleeping within her reach inside the dollie crib, and she uses the new clothes for both night and day! We also bought Tangled for Lexi and of course she loves that too!!
