09-25-2008 First Day

Sept. 25, 2008

Well this is the first day of my blog. I decided to create a blog because then others (such as my family in Iowa) can check on how Lexi and I are doing and see pictures. Plus its a way for me to remember all these great moments as well.

Alexis Jade Marsh is now 6 weeks and 2 days old. I think she might be getting a cold. She seems very tired and cranky today. She might have a tummy ache (she gets those alot) But she might just be tired, cause we have had a busy week. I can't wait until she can tell me what is wrong so I don't feel like I have no idea what I am doing.... Anyway, Lexi has started to smile when you talk to her. I love when she smiles. She loves to lay on the counter top while I empty or load the dishwasher. She also LOVES to lay on the dryer while it is running. Of course she is spoiled rotten and only lays there for about 10-15 minutes before she gets bored looking at things and wants me to pick up her. hahaha I am a sucker when she starts crying. However, one thing I have held my ground on is I make her sleep in her bed at night. This is easy now cause she can't do much about it but cry herself to sleep, but I am hoping she will get used to sleeping by herself and not want to sleep in our bed. For the past week she has been sleeping for about 5 hours straight when I put her to bed. Then after that only two hours at a time. But no complaining here. she is getting better and better. Yay!!

Tootsie has been pretty good about the whole situation. She gets a little needy but not like I expected her to. i can't wait until Lexi is big enough they can play. I know tootsie will love it!
