Mother's Day and Half Birthday!









Yesterday I had my first true mother's day. It was wonderful. To be honest though, I feel like the luckiest person in the world so yesterday was not too different than other days. Jason did however surprise me with a video of Lexi's pictures (will post soon), a picture frame, coffee mug, luggage tag, and a sweet card. We spent the afternoon at Mimi and Paw Paw's with Aunt Sarah. It was a beautiful day so we sat on the patio and ate sandwiches from Central Market. Lexi missed an entire nap, but she was still in a good mood. Last night when I woke her to feed her the "top off" bottle she fell back to sleep in my arms. Usually, Lexi does not snuggle. When she is tired she likes to soothe herself to sleep in her own bed. I'm confident Lexi fell asleep in my arms on purpose...one more gift for mother's day from her to me.

Today Alexi turned 6 months! I am so excited to see her growing and learning new things everyday. Today, Lexi started truly enjoying her activity center. She played the piano on purpose rather than accidentally hitting the keys. She is now kicking her legs as well while she plays and bouncing when she sits on the ground or in my lap. She is so much fun!

kindergarten boxcar parade

Well, everyone was healthy until Lexi got the flu and I got pneumonia.  Needless to say, it's been a rough week...BUT, we are better again and for the most part back to normal.  Jason, Lexi and I all worked together on this and we think it turned out great!  All the boxcars were unique and wonderful!  The parade was wonderful...it should have been televised!!

daddy/daughter dance

I have some catching up to do on the blog, but I wanted to write tonight while my feelings and emotions are raw... About a month ago we received an email about the daddy/daughter dance tonight.  Jason attached the flyer and forwarded it to me saying, "I have to work."  I frowned and moved on.  I didn't think much about it until the other day.  I had an "a-ha" moment and asked Jason if we could ask his dad so Lexi wouldn't miss out on the ball.  Jason called Kevin the next day and I received a text from Jason right after saying, "My dad would be happy to take Lexi."  I was delighted and Lexi was on cloud 9 when I told her Paw Paw wanted to take her to the ball (side note...we didn't tell Lexi about the ball because we didn't think she was going to be able to attend since Jason was out of town). The next day Jason left work early and met us at the mall for a little ball dress shopping.  Lexi danced around the dressing room in about 8 diff...
