    Alexis had her 1 month birthday and I cried like a baby.
    Alexis is growing so fast. It doesn't seem like it's been a month. I can still feel the pain of my contractions. :confused:
    She's learning so much so fast and becoming such a big little person. Haha. She's smiling regularly, and she has pretty good control over her head....it still wobbles a bit, but she's getting the hang of it.
    She's cooing already. She loves ceiling fans, mommy and daddy, and all her grandparent....and she smiles and makes cooing noises when she sees any of those things.
    I think she wants to giggle. She smiles REALLY big sometimes....and makes sounds....just no giggles.
    She's getting so long. I'm guessing she's about 23 inches right now. And, her weight....goodness. She's got more chins than a Chinese phonebook. And, I love them. She's my little butterball. She eats about 7 ounces every 2 or 3 hours.
    She's so sassy. I love it. I love to watch her with Preston. He's so good with her and she's in love with him. He lets her 'play' video games with him. She sits on his lap leaning on his chest and they play forever. She'll get moody and punch the controller. It's so cute.
    She plays possum a lot. She'll pretend to be asleep and then when someone talks about how cute she is, she'll pop her big blue eyes open and smile. She's such a diva already.:D

    Awww, just wait. My oldest baby is turning 7 years old in a month and a half and I can still remember the day I found out that I was pregnant with him like it was yesterday.

    My twins are almost 3.5 years old now and it doesn't seem possible. [​IMG]

    Enjoy this time, it goes by much too quickly.

    Awww....Definitely get lots of pictures! Somethign I wish I had done with my older boys was do a journal, at the very least once a month sit down and write down all that she is doing, how you are feeling--all kinds of neat things. I plan to do that this time, becasue as hard as I try I just can't remember everything the boys did when they were little like that, and I wish I did.

    :( Yea.
    I'm keeping a baby book for her. And, at least once every two weeks I'll write her a note. Telling her everything she's doing, and how much I love her.
    And, my mom bought me a new digital camera....because our old one was pretty junky....so I have TONS of pictures. Not many of me and her together, though....I need to get more of those.

    1 year....I can't imagine that. Of course....I couldn't imagine one month, either.

    It is crazy! My girlfriend just called me asking me to leave work, because the daycare called and said he has a 102 deg. fever. :( I think he might have bronchitis or some shit, he has been couging non stop. But her step mom is gonna take him, we both have new management positions, so it's kind of tough to leave early.

    Happy birthday little one!!!
    I know how you feel.....I am still in shock that it's been a year already with Leane!
    I was giggling as I read your post...it's so cute! I was thinking back to your first post here about your sore boobs and wondering if you were pregnant! It's so cool to see the baby everyone talked about around here for so long. Same goes for all the other mamas who've had hip-babies! *hugs*!

    I guess a lot of mommy hood just comes natural.

    no worries, lol, I was the same way.
    I peed on the stick and was like, "aw shit, I have NO idea what I'm doing!" lol
    But yeah, it just kinda came to me. There's a few things I was a little cluless about, too, but it's so weird how we just "know" this stuff!
