Lexie is 5 Months

Our Little Lexie was 5 months old yesterday. She is such a big girl! Lots of new things in her world - she rolls over both ways, is sleeping through the night most nights (yeah!), and LOVES her food! She has now had cereal, bananas, applesauce, and sweet potatoes. It did a couple different cereals to find one she likes, but all is great now! She is on a bit more of a schedule than before, but she still does not take very good naps during the day. I was spoiled with Molly who took 2 or 3 naps at the same time every day for 2 or so hours. Lexie sleeps about 30-45 minutes 4 times a day. Makes it hard to get things done, that is for sure!


Molly is growing up so much. It is unbelievable! She beat me in Memory today, and I would say she legitimately beat me. I might have helped her once or twice, but she is good! She loves to talk - talk about anything, and is so fun to chat with. I always have smiles on my face and am in awe of what she says and what she remembers...which is everything! My mom and dad tell me she is a lot like someone else (hmmm, is that me??).


We are looking forward to the Spring weather and being outside. Molly is enjoying her new scooter, along with her bubbles, chalk, swing....

Easter will be very fun this weekend! We hope the weather is nice so we can do our Easter egg hunt indoors and outdoors. Molly is going to love it...and we are going to love watching her love it!

Go Panthers!

It's March!

Hard to believe it is March this week. Time definitely goes faster with 2 little love bugs to occupy my time! :) Molly keeps us on our toes, that is for sure. She doesn't miss a thing and always has questions for us. She is all about "choices", helping with Lexie, and wanting our constant attention. Yes, a bit of jealousy is coming out! We are looking forward to being outside once this snow melts!

Lexie is such a good baby. She loves her bottles but isn't a big fan of her cereal yet. She is still waking up once during the night to eat, but she eats quick and is back to sleep. Pretty painless! I am lucky that Ryan shares this duty with me - we take turns getting up with her. She is just learning how to grab at a toy and put it in her mouth. She gets pretty excited when she gets it there!

Ryan and I spent this past weekend in Des Moines as Ryan played in racquetball tournament. We enjoyed doing some shopping and having dinner together without an agenda. Something we are not used to! :) Molly and Lexie spent the weekend with Papa and Meme (my parents).

Enjoy this pictures from the last month!

Tanner spent 5 days in Cedar Falls while Andy and Allie were in Mexico. Here are Molly and Tanner hanging out on Molly's bed. They had a blast together!

Mommy and Molly got new hair dos - do you like the? :)

And last but not least, Miss Lexie.... :)
