May 14, 2017 Mothers Day/Blessing
Today is a very special day for you and I, its my first Mother's Day and your daddy blessed you today at church. Aunt Emily was so sweet and let you borrow her blessing dress, you looked beautiful! You had so many visitors from family and friends, you sure are one lucky little girl. Your dad was nervous but he gave you a beautiful blessing, it made a few of us cry (mainly me). Grandpa Almond said that you looked at daddy the whole time with a big smile on your face! What a speical memory that we will always cherish, Grandpa Almond said he's never seen a baby do that before! You are one special little girl! This is a day that we both have waited for, I remember your dad and I went to our friend Will and Ali's little boy Nixon's blessing 3 years ago and dad was asked to stand in the circle while Will blessed Nixon. After his blessing your dad was teary and I asked him what was wrong and he told me "I just want to be a dad." That is a very special memory to me because I knew that your dad was going to be an amazing father to our kids one day.
After your blessing we went to great Grandma Ruth's house for a luncheon, she was so nice to share her 98th Birthday with you. We had our family and friends over for some yummy food and we took a few pictures. Sadly we weren't able to get everyone as mom was so busy entertaining and helping you that she forgot.
May 16, 2017 3 Months
This was a busy month for us, your dad finished his second year of Pharmacy school yay!! We went with dad's family to tour the Idaho Falls temple before it was rededicated, I was worried you wouldn't do well but you surprised me and were so content the whole time. You loved all the lights, you kept staring at them. We made two trips to Nampa, the first was for a class dad had to take for school and the other was for Memorial Day weekend to help Grandma and Grandpa Almond re-roof their home. Dad did a lot of hard labor that weekend, he's a trooper.
I can't believe that you are already 3 months, they all told me that time would fly by but it is just whooshing past me. You are getting so big, you still aren't a fan of tummy time mainly because you just want to sit up and be a big girl. You will lay on my lap or the couch and do crunches and fuss until we hold you up. You are one social little girl, not quite sure where you got it from (ME). You love to coo and make new noises as your dad and I talk to you. You have discovered your hands this month, When you are not eating those fists are constantly in your mouth. You also have started sucking your thumb, its super cute but also a bad habit that your dad and I are trying to break. :) You are still eating every 2 hours during the day and you go about 5-6 hours at night (thank you!). You are wearing 0-3 month clothes and size 1 diapers. Dad says since you weigh 11 pounds we should try putting you in size 2 diapers soon, we'll see how that goes, to mommy they look too big for you.
Lexi I hope you know how loved you are today and always by your dad and I. We have waited so long for you and are so lucky to call you ours. Thank you for picking me to be your mom I couldn't have asked for a better first Mother's Day! Love you little lady!
