Lexi at 3 months

Lexi is such a joy!! We are so in love with this little bundle. She is so sweet and considerate. She waits patiently for the most part until Nicholas is down for his nap or asleep to get in her time with Mom. She is full of smiles and coos. I just LOVE having a baby in the house again. She also brings back so many great memories of when Nicholas was a baby, because I think they look just a like.

Lexi makes me feel wonderful every time I am near her. She gets as giddy as a school girl if anyone pays even the littlest bit of attention to her. She starts kicking her legs and smiling when I glance her way. If you talk to her, she will laugh and coo back. She just worships you.

Weight: 17.5 lbs (I think her checks alone weigh a pound each)
Height: 2 ft
Clothing Size: 6 month
Eye Color: Blue (They are fading to a lighter and lighter blue)

Hobbies:
  • Licking fuzzy things
  • Staying up late and hanging with Mama
  • Refusing to take a bottle
  • Sucking her binkie only when she is VERY tired
  • Cooing at people (She likes it when you get close to her and do super huge grins.)
  • Sleeping in her carseat
  • Laughing hysterically when I sing her the ABCs.
  • Rubbing the hair on the back of her head off
  • Snuggling
  • Long walks around the house
  • Slipping her hands out of her swaddle
  • Wearing cute outfits
  • Sleeping in random places and in awkward positions
  • Convincing people to hold her
  • Getting her checks kissed by Mama a MILLON times a day
  • Sucking on her hand when she finds it
Sleep Schedule: None

Most Surprising Thing: She doesn't drool or spit up like Nicholas did.

Here she is in her pajamas and a hat hanging out in our backyard.


I'm so glad to finally have another girl in the family to help me with girly things. The above pictures are of our girls afternoon out to Ikea. Lexi had a fabulous time and gave me great advice about which curtains to buy. While we were out, two different children asked if Lexi was a real baby.

Lexi snuggling with Grandfather Muhlestein.

Nicholas thought he would help Lexi catch up on some of her reading. She didn't make one noise while he piled these books on top of her. She just seemed happy to be included.

She is sporting the best baby hairdo ever. She has got a giant bald spot in the back and a little tuft of hair that loves to stick up at the top. L

The thing is, as cute as these pictures are, they don't even BEGIN to cover how absolutely ADORABLE Lexi is! We definitely need to come visit again! I want to kiss those cheeks some more!

Oh, wow. She is SO a Muhlestein! That pink picture (the Ikea one?) especially reminds me of the cute Muhlestein babies I played with when I was young (Michael and the girls) (and then later George & Mary).
That's funny about the "real baby" thing--nice she's not screaming to the world to who them how real she is.
I was sad not to fly through Dallas this year and get to see you guys :( (though it was lovely to fly in only 15 minutes from home).
