Three Months Old Today
Time really flies. Yesterday, I went into the office and, as usual, everyone was amazed by how big Lexi is getting. One person even commented that she is looking more like a little girl and less like a baby. Other than being bald, she was right. She is growing up too fast. In the last few weeks, I have noticed some wonderful changes and some I would rather have waited for.
Some of the great things include:
1. She likes to be held up-right so she can look around and interact.
2. She babbles almost non-stop. (I call her Georgette after her very talkative Grandpa George.)
3. She craves attention and smiles at everyone who gives it to her.
4. She loves playing with blankets and can keep herself entertained for a while.
5. She isn't very fussy anymore.
6. She sleeps through the night (YES!).
7. Most days she takes at least one good nap for an hour.
8. She is a lot more patient in the car seat.
9. She is generally a happier baby.
A few things I would like to see change:
1. She hates to be in the cradle position, which is very tough when it is time to feed her. This goes back to #1 on the things I like list.
2. Even though she likes others, she still prefers that I hold her. If she could extend this preference to include her dad equally, it would be nice. He is her second choice.
3. Every time I get the camera out, she stares at it & stops smiling. Smiles make pictures better.
4. Perhaps, more hair would be a bonus.
Basically, things are getting better and better. Even work has calmed down a notch. Thank GOODNESS! - knock on wood. I guess mostly I am thankful that I am not returning to work for a few more weeks unlike some companies & maternity leave. On the other hand, I didn't really get a break from work (or the paycheck). This calls for a math concept: a postive times a negative equals ??? (+*-=?) (anyone, anyone Bueller?) - I know you know, so I'll just say yep.

This blog is like a journal for me. It is also a way for my friends to keep tabs on me.
For people who don't know me, I come from a big family (3 brothers & 1 sister). We moved around a LOT, so I am not really from one particular place. I like to call Katy, Texas my home though.
Recent news, my Dad & Mother-in-Law were diagnosed with Terminal Cancer in April/May of 2005. My dad passed away 5-Dec-05 .
