At two months old, Alexis has quite the little personality! She is so incredibly sweet and HAPPY! She has really started to smile and every now and then you might catch her laughing. When she smiles her whole face lights up. She smiles a lot when she sees my face, but she also smiles at the ceiling fan, so....yea.
Alexis had her 2 month well baby check up and she here are her stats:
Temp: 97.9F
Resp Rate: 26 bpm
Weight: 12lbs 14oz 88%
Height: 24 inches 92%
Head Circ: 38.7 cm 41%
The doctor went on and on about what a cute baby she was and OH THE HAIR! haha Alexis has a clean bill of health. Then came the shots. When Hudson had them, he cried for a second then passed out. At least that's how I remember it. So, I thought that Alexis would react the same way. NOPE! My sweet and quiet little girl screamed, and I mean SCREAMED! She has a good set of lungs. I gave her a pacci and thought all would be well. BOY WAS I WRONG. She was a disaster the rest of they day. She cried and screamed and cried some more. Finally after a few hours of this, I gave her some medicine. Exactly four hours after her first dose she was back to screaming uncontrollably. It was a rough day for her and everyone else to say the least. Poor Hudson hated seeing his little sister so upset. He held her hand and tried to make her laugh at the doctors office while the nurse was giving her the shots. It was really sweet. I love how much he loves her.

- Has BIG BLUE EYES
- Dislikes tummy time
Alexis,
You are such a sweet baby. I can't get enough of you! My love for you seems to grow and grow ever single day. When you look up at me and smile, I know that there is absolutely nothing I wouldn't do for you. I would give all I have to keep you safe, happy, and healthy. I remember write a while ago that I was afraid that I wouldn't be a good enough mom to both you and Hudson. I wrote that I was afraid that I wasn't going to be able to teach you everything you needed to know. I realize now that my insecurities are all in my head. God chose me to be your mommy. Someone recently pointed out that the parent/child (and I guess sibling) relationship is the only relationship that we do not get to choose ourselves. We choose our spouses, friends, in-laws, neighbors, co-workers..., but not our childcare/parents. That is a "God Thing". He doesn't give us anything we can't handle. It's very comforting that even though I feel inferior at times, God has confidence in me to raise his children. He chose ME to be mom to two of the most amazing children on earth. Alexis, We love you so much. You have stolen all our hearts. It brings such joy to my heart to see you and Hudson smiling together. I look forward to watching the two of you grow together and form an unbreakable bond. There is something so special about a sibling relationship.
Happy 2 months my beautiful happy girl.
Love,
Your mommy
