Playtime...

This past week Lexi has started to discover toys. I've been laying her under these hanging toys and she loves it!! Especially in the morning! She coos and smiles as she swings her arms to hit the toys while her legs pump. Its pretty funny to watch! She grows and changes everyday! I can't believe how fast the last 6 weeks have gone! I love that she is starting to interact more but kinda sad that she isn't a newborn anymore. We sure love this little girl! She has both Tip and I wrapped around her little finger!!

Lexi sure loves Tip.

I promise it was Madden that was making it stink!! Haha

Tips awesome tricks!

gotta love this girl!!

Tip and McCord!!

Ella loved Lexi!! She was a lot of help!!

We had the opportunity to go up north to bless Lexi. Since most of our families live up north we decided it would be easier to have her blessing at my parents house so that our families could attend. Tip gave a beautiful blessing!! It was nice to see all of our family there supporting us! Thanks to everyone for making the trip!! Why we were up there we also enjoyed some pool time! Lexi experienced her first little sunburn nose. Even though Linzy and I sat the entire time under the umbrella both Lexi and Madden got a little sun on their faces. Opps!

Happy One Month!!

Lexi is One Month Old today!! I can't believe that she is already a month old! It amazes me how much she changes and grows every day!! She is the cutest little girl!! She is the best baby and we love her so much!! Here are a few things about little Lexi Grace:

1. She takes at least a half hour to wake up, its a process!

2. She loves to stretch! You lay her flat on any surface and her arms and legs shoot straight out!

3. She love her Binky!! (and I love that she does!!)

4. She is a great eater!

5. Bath time is a favorite, and we get the best coos after bath time.

6. She likes her blanket right up by her face when she sleeps, and only one blanket will do the trick!

7. She prefers to sleep right next to Mom!

8. She makes the funniest faces!!

9. She is so content. She doesn't mind just hanging out!

10. She is not a fan or milk, diary, or chocolate. (I will miss these foods while I am nursing!)

11. She loves her hands by her face and usually holding onto her ears!

I could go on and on and on....I sure love my little girl!! I love watching her grow! Its crazy to me how much she has changed in one month!!

Best Buddies...

This past week I went up north to be with my sister Linzy when she had her first baby. Madden George Morgan was born on Tuesday morning at 1:08 a.m. He weighed 8 lbs 1 oz and 21 inches long. He has a full head of dark hair!! He is so, so cute!!

Lexi and Madden are 3 weeks apart and Ryder is 10 months older. These 3 will be in the same grade. We just know they are all going to be best buddies. Lexi is going to have to learn to hold her own against 2 boys!!

Here is there first of what I am sure will be many pictures together! (don't mind Lex's pulling a weird face). We laughed at the huge difference in age. Even 3 weeks you can see the difference between Lexi and Madden, and well Ryder just looks huge and super smart next to these two! But in a year or so you won't be able to tell the difference in their age. I loved growing up with cousins my age and I am so glad that my daughter will have the same opportunity!

Madden and Lexi, they already love each other!! I have a feeling Madden is going to pass Lexi in size in a short time!! Don't they look so cute together!!??

One year down...eternity to go!

Has it only been a year?? I feel like Tip and I have been married for so much longer, but today is our One Year Anniversary!! We have accomplished and gone through a lot in this first year! We have had many trials and many blessings! There have been lots of laughter, tears, great memories and even some fighting . We have learned a lot about each other this past year!! We are both so blessed! I know that Tip makes me a better person! I am so lucky to have him in my life. He is my best friend, a great husband and a fabulous dad! I love him with all my heart! Happy Anniversary Tipper!! Heres to many many more!!

Lexi's Photo Shoot!!

I had Lexi's newborn pictures take last Friday and I LOVE them! The photographer name is Christina Palmer and she rocked!! I recommend her to any one (her link is on the side of my blog)!! She was so patient with Lexi and me! She did such a fantastic job that I don't know how I am going to choose! Her is a sneak peak at some of them!! Thanks Christina! I can't wait to have you take her picture again!!

Life with Lexi...

I can't believe my baby will be 2 weeks old tomorrow!! Crazy!! These past 2 weeks have been quite the whirlwind. After we came home from the hospital my mom spent a couple days with me. It was so nice having her here. I didn't realize how much I wanted her here until she left! After she left, I slightly had an emotional breakdown (which I blame on hormones), so we decided to go up north for the 4th of July weekend! It was a blast to be up there and see my family. We enjoyed swimming and BBQ and some good card games. It was what i needed!! (thanks to my sweet husband who dropped everything so we could go! He is the best).

Lexi is the best baby! She is very content and happy! She stares at you like she is trying to figure you out! She makes the best facial expressions, most of which her Dad makes the same ones! She is totally Tipper's daughter, there is no denying that! She looks exactly like him!! She changes everyday! She is a pretty good sleeper! I am still getting used to the night feeds, but we seem to have more of a system down! I sure love this little girl and can't imagine our lives without her!!

Here our some random pictures I've taken over the last 2 weeks, in a random order!

Ryder loves the baby! He kept putting his cheek to hers and saying ahh

Nap time with Dad (we both love when she cuddles up with us!)
