Eyes

Alexa has been more alert today. I am assuming her eyes will turn brown soon, but right now they are greyish-blue.

One Week Old

Alexa Avery went back to the doctor today for a weight check. She was 8 lbs. 6 oz. at birth and 20 inches long. When she was discharged from the hospital on Tuesday she was down to 7 lbs. 11.5 oz. Today she was up a little to 7 lbs. 14 oz. and is now 21 inches long.

Talia loves her little sister. She is always trying to kiss and hold Lexi if she can reach her.

Baby Sister

It is so funny to watch this video. I have been asking her this question for months and she always shakes her head no. I finally record her and she nods yes. Of course afterwards when she watches it she shakes her head no when she hears the question.

Sledding

It has been so cold on the weekends that Natalia has not been able to play outside much. Yesterday her daddy pulled her around Grandma's backyard.

After a few laps Jon decided that Talia might like it better to ride around on her knees. The second he took off she tipped off. I had to stop Jon because he didn't notice. Talia was so surprised she just froze in this position until he helped her up. She loved playing outside and did not want to come inside. Hopefully we are over the worst part of winter although soon it will be hard for me to take her outside. I can just hope for warm weekends when Jon can take her out to play.

Chapstick

This picture doesn't apply to the rest of the post, but I wanted my mom to see the dress she got Natalia for Christmas.

I never know what I am going to find when Natalia disappears for a while and is very quiet. Usually she has scattered her clean clothes all over the floor. Today she was busy with the chapstick she got from her grandma for Christmas. I'm not entirely sure how it ended up within her reach because I thought it was up on the counter.

I have seen her sticking her finger in the tube and rubbing it near her mouth but more on her cheeks, but today she really went to town with it.
