All About Alexa :-)

Being the second princess in our family, Lexi always has to share the spotlight with her big sister Emma :) Well, this blog is all for her!
I can quite honestly say that Lexi is the most perfect baby ever! Lol. She has pretty much slept all night since she was born, and has been on a great schedule almost from the get go. If she's not eating or sleeping, she's cooing, laughing, smiling...I just love her and am so thankful for her! I think her being so low-maintenance is the main reason why we haven't had any jealousy problems with Emma. Lexi did end up being diagnosed with acid reflux,just like her big sister before her. Difference is, this time I knew what to look for and was able to treat it sooner. She started spitting up, choking, and screaming after nursing even after I drastically changed my diet and kept her upright all the time. Once she started on the medicine, the crying from pain and excessive spit up disappeared.
We're totally in love with the sweet little cuddle bug God has blessed us with. It's hard to believe she's three months old already!

These are the days ♥

There's an old song on a Jodee Messina CD of mine that says, "These are the days you will remember for the rest of your life. These are the memories you'll pack in a box and pull out sometime..." I think ahead to when the kids are grown and gone and the house is quiet...and neat :) And I realize that these days...right now...are the ones I will look back on with smiles. And tears. Cause time is a thief, and babies grow up, and life marches on. So here I am, savoring EVERY moment. Remembering that the diapers, the tantrums, the runny noses, the messes, the smiles, the coos, the 'I wuv you mommies', are so temporary. And one day I will miss it all.
Memories from August 2010:
This is the night when Emma & Alexa were laughing together. Lexi kept looking at Emma & cooing & laughing. That made Emma crack up. Emma asked to hold her baby 'Wexi' and then wanted me to take a pic.
