These months just keep flying by, I swear I blink and you are another month older. This month brought a lot of new things for you and I. The first is a big change for your dad and I, after a lot of contemplation and prayer I decided to give my 2 weeks notice at work and be a STAY AT HOME MOMMY! I have loved every minute of it, we have had our fair share of good and bad days but ultimately I feel like we made the best decision for us!
Some big milestones for you this month are rolling over, more sitting up and better head control. You have always been curious about the world we live in but you weren't able to keep you head up alone, now that you are stronger you love to sit up more and see the world from another point of view. You are really liking the bumbo which is a chair that helps support your back to let you sit up. You will sit in that while I get ready for the day and watch me put on makeup or do my hair. I can't wait for the day I get to show you how to do makeup, it will be so much fun!
Your Dad and I decided that you were ready to sleep in your own room in your crib. It was a hard decision but you like it more than I thought you would. The first time I had you sleep in there for a nap you kept waking up because you could tell it was different from your Rock and Play Sleeper, but eventually you took a 30 minute nap. That night we decided we were just going to go all in so that we didn't confuse you going back and forth from crib to the rock and play. Well needless to say that didn't go as well, we were up every 30 minutes but in the end it was all worth it because you sleep in there all night now!! Wahoo! I love watching you sleep, the funny thing is you really don't like tummy time but since learning to roll over you are determined to sleep on your tummy, although you do fuss when you first lay on it. :)
This month we have been enjoying the warm weather, you and I go on walks sometimes with Dad if he's not at work. We bought you a hat to block the sun from your face, you don't really like it much. :) We also celebrated your Dad for his first official Father's Day, although there wasn't much celebrating since Father's day was the day after your first night in the crib, but you and I surprised Daddy with some socks with his favorite Football teams logo on them (Seahawks) he was so happy!
The final fun thing we did this month was actually finish decorating your room, its officially half yours now. Haha let me explain, since we live in an apartment we have 2 rooms so you are sharing it with the office, but your Dad gave up the closet for you so that should make you feel special. :) I was so excited to get your room completely finished and organized and I have to say it looks pretty dang cute!
You continue to grow, you weigh 12 pounds 3 ounces and are 23 inches. You are starting to grow out of the 0-3 clothes and so now we are putting you in 3-6 month. You are wearing size 2 diapers which like I thought are a little big but the size ones are too tight so we will make 2's work. You have also starting eating rice cereal at night, our pediatrician said it was okay to start introducing if you seemed interested. I think you really enjoy it, at least you don't complain while you're eating it so that's a good sign. I think that is another reason you will sleep 6-8 hours at night. (I won't complain!)
Well sweet Lexi we sure do love you and are loving watching you learn and grow each month!
