New Friends and New Things

Alexis has had a busy week meeting new friends and trying different things! She has also been an amazing sleeper! I know I shouldn't say anything, but after the rough week we had last week, its good to know that she can still go down for naps and bed time without being rocked! She has, however, found her fussy time. That is between 5 and 6 pm. It's hard to believe she is just tired, considering I am having to wake her up from her naps, but maybe she is just growing and she is just ready to go back to bed!!

This week she met her new friends Marlee and Erin. We went and visited my friend Erin who is going through the same thing that I went through with Alexis. She is 34 weeks along and now on bed rest. She is doing better at home and we are praying that Margo cooks for a little longer. Alexis has also been sporting her Bentley's Bows gear! I just love all her new bows. She spent the night with Grandma and Grandpa Mannion last Friday and they just loved having her, I actually thought I wasn't going to get her back!! Last but not least, she got in the pool. We put our tent over the spa to block the sun, which made it pretty cold, so it didn't last long, but until she got cold, she seemed to enjoy it.

This morning I had to pull out her 3 month onsies!! She has outgrown her newborn onsies and it kind of made me sad. I know I couldn't wait till she got in her dresses, but putting away those little onsies made me realize my little baby is no longer little!! She maybe well over 10 pounds!!

Brian and I are heading to Austin for a long weekend away from Alexis while she goes to Mimi and Pappa B's house. Mom and Dad are super excited about having her and I've already typed out 2 pages of notes! This is the longest we have been away from her and I know I will be sad, but I am looking forward to a little vacay! Even though I haven't packed her or myself!

She is finally able to fit into her cute dresses!! She just looked so adorable yesterday when we met Aunt Tracy for lunch and went to see Erin. Unfortunately, lunch lasted an hour longer than we expected because a huge rain storm came in and we were stuck without an umbrella. Just when we thought it was safe to leave, the Heaven's opened up and Mommy got drenched!

Doing what she does best!

The first day she got her bows!

This is how I found her this afternoon, with her cute little butt in the air! Mind you, I had to turn the lights on and take her blanket off and she is STILL asleep and not moving!

Grandma Mannion brought over this singing, light flashing, attention grabber, and boy does it do the trick! Most times she really likes it! She also loves the fan! At night, I've been turning on the stars on the ceiling, and she loves those too!! Anything to keep this baby happy!!

Another outfit I got to break out this week!

The first time in the pool! She's real thrilled, can you tell??

Alexis and Daddy getting ready for the Texans to beat the Cowboys!

I just love this picture! Marlee Saldana is 5 weeks old and Alexis is 3 months and 1 week old. She looks so big! It looks like she is trying to do what Marlee is doing!
