Party of Three

I follow many blogs that have "Wordless Wednesday's." Meaning, they just post a picture without a caption. If today were Wednesday I would post this picture without a caption.

On Saturday, April 25th Alexi was baptised at St. Jude's Parish. Most of the family was able to join us in the wonderful celebration. Alexi is blessed with four godparents; Aunt Sarah, Aunt Kim, Uncle Chip, and Uncle Daniel. They all are very important to us and we know they will each serve an important role in Lexi's life.

We have really been enjoying the past few weeks of Spring. Unfortunately , the Stars didn't make the playoffs this year, but on a positive note, Jason's non-traveling work begins sooner than normal! Lexi and I are so thankful to have him home. Jason and I have been "Spring Cleaning" and we are even going to attempt our first garage sale this weekend. We are also baby proofing the house this week because Alexi will soon be mobile! She is sitting up on her own now (we have to be close though to catch her when she begins to fall) and she is super close to rolling over from her back to her stomach. She is learning new things everyday and she brings us more joy than words can tell.

Alexi hearts her activity center from Mimi and PawPaw. Her favorite so far is the piano...

Last Sunday Grandma Mike and Aunt Kim picked Lexi and I up and we all headed to Kentucky to welcome Uncle Chip home from Afghanistan. The trip had many "firsts" in store for Lexi. It was her first road trip longer than 4 hours, her first bus ride, her first time to be on an Army Base, and her first time to meet her Uncle Chip. Of course, Uncle Chip had seen pictures of his niece , but this was the first time he would be able to hold her. It was an exciting and emotional time for all of us. Uncle Chip thinks Alexi is precious...he is once again a very proud uncle. Oh, and have I ever mentioned how very proud we are of Uncle Chip?

Lexi was finally able to get her foot in her mouth today and she loved it! She concentrated really hard and then she held on tight to her left foot, got it to her mouth, and then licked her toes! It was extremely entertaining for me. I was able to get pictures, not great ones though...I'm sure I'll have more opportunities in the near future! Lexi also enjoyed "Green Eggs and Ham" today. Throughout the whole book she grunted and growled . I will try to get that on film because it is truly hilarious. Lexi grunts A LOT. I'm thinking she is getting frustrated with her immobility... Jason and I are really enjoying Alexi's personality. It is so awesome to see her change on a daily basis and to witness her learning new things. She is growing up fast!

Lexi is not a huge fan of cereal, but she loves sweet potato! After the first few initial bites with a sour looking face and spiting it out, she realizes how yummy it is and she begs for more! She will grab the spoon, put it in her mouth, and then she bites the spoon trying to get every ounce of sweet potato.
