Happy 2 Weeks Alexis!!!

Wow...has it really been 2 weeks already! Happy 2 Week Birthday Baby Girl! I really can't get over how fast it is going. It saddens me to think that in about 4 1/2 weeks I have to leave her at home and go back to work. This past week Alexis has done really well. She sleeps a lot during the day and actually does pretty good at night. She is up to a little over 3 ounces of food at each feeding! We head to the Pediatrician this Friday for her 2 week check up. I am curious as to how much she will weigh! I am guessing 7 pounds 11 ounces. I do think that she is heavier than her birth weight but we will see!

This past weekend she took her first long car ride (45 mins) to the Stuntz Grandparents' house. She did pretty well! She slept the whole way there. We have determined that she does well when the car is moving, but gets very grumpy when the car is stopped at a light or in traffic! Here is a picture of her all set for her first car ride: Jingles, our younger cat, has become Alexis' buddy/pal/protector. For the past few nights when I do Alexis' evening feeding, Jingles comes and lies on my lap once Alexis is done eating. It is the cutest thing. John was here last night to capture the moment in a picture! The cat is so silly!

Below are some other pictures from Alexis' 2nd week. The first one is right after a feeding. She is just lying on the floor all wide eyed! Little did I know that she was working on some lovely spit up to get all over me when I picked her up :) The second one is her still lying on the floor only this time she is snuggling with her new blanket that Aunt Peg and Uncle CJ gave to her. She loves it! It is so soft and warm.This is one of my favorite pictures of Alexis! She is smiling...I think it is gas though :) But I still think it is cute! She just looks so happy in this picture :)

Overall I can't be more happy. I wouldn't change anything for the world and feel absolutely blessed that she is here with us now. Now if we could just get her to sleep in her pack and play or crib so she could use her bouncy for fun we would be all set. That is our next goal :)
