Bigger every day!

Lexie is now 6 weeks old and we are consistently amused by her! She smiles at us at least once a day now and it is such an adorable smile! I have yet to be able to get a picture of it but trust me when I tell you, it's a heart-stopper. :) Our exciting event of the last week or two is that she has grown out of the newborn sized clothes and is now wearing the 0-3 month size! Very exciting! I am amazed at how quickly she has grown. Those newborn clothes look so small already.

Here is her 1-month birthday photo...



Lexie has been more and more physically active over the last couple of weeks. Her new favorite activity is lying on the floor and kicking her legs all around. I did manage to get a picture of that one!


We have been getting used to our new life with our beautiful baby and we are adjusting to some new routines. Other than general sleep deprivation and an increase is dishwashing and laundry, Lexie has brought a few fun new activites into our lives.

Every Tuesday evening Lexie and I have a standing date and my mother's house for dinner. Lexie loves this because she gets some good grandma time in on a regular basis.

Lexie likes to dress up for these outings and so far, Grandma has not seen her in the same outfit twice!

24 days old!

I can't believe that Lexie is 24 days old already. Time is sure flying by. We have been very busy getting to know our little angel and she has been busy growing. We have had lots of visitors here and the house and have been doing a little bit of visiting ourselves. Lexie's baptism was this past Sunday and Grandma and Grandpa Scheper and Grandpa Phyle came into town to meet her and to celebrate. Here are bunches of pictures of her first 24 days...

Snug as a bug in a rug!

It didn't take Mark long to become a pro at this.
This picture really shows how tiny she was!
Here she is, ready to go home.
Pretty flowers from Auntie Bren!
1 week old!
