Florida Trip

By
I need to post some pictures from our trip to GMA & GPA Looper's house. (Gammy & Pops?) - I think Lexi will have to decide. She enjoyed being spoiled by everyone - mostly Gammy. She started giggling on this trip. Melt-my-heart-in-two. It's so hard to get smiles/giggles on camera because she immediately stops when she notices the camera. Luckily, we got some video on fb.





2.5 months

Cousin Shannon

first trip to the beach!






Cousin Brynlee

the best cousin picture we got

The trip back with her wasn't that bad. We only stopped twice making it a 7 hr and 15 min drive. I mean I was ready to bust out of the car, but I was proud of Lexi for sleeping most of the way and being chill the rest. We were excited to see Mr Smith again who knew she had gotten bigger in just one week.

Unfortunately, we are missing the pictures with my high school friends because those are on iPhones. We forgot to take pictures with the rest of the Smallwoods but we had a wonderful Japanese lunch with them (Uncle Zac, Aunt Shirley, Zachary & Cassidy) Lexi was so chill the entire time. I actually got to eat with everyone else! Aunt Tami is also on the iPhone & we are in the process of meeting Bree & Aubree who just moved to Atlanta. Satha & Andrew came to visit & that picture is also on the iPhone. Who else did I miss? Maybe I should do an iPhone post...

Our Baby Story - Alexis

By
Alexis Jane Smith 04.27.13 - 5:16PM 8lbs 15oz - 22.5 inches brown hair, undetermined (blue) eyes NB clothes are too tight You hate diaper changes You love being swaddled You are a piranha for food Your skin is perfect You sleep better with noises You came out sucking on your fingers But luckily you're not a scratcher Basically, we think you're perfect. First day at home photo Dear Lexi,  We couldn't handle holding you inside my stomach for another minute. We made an appointment when the contractions never came. Things were changing, but you were still 7 days late. Maybe we were eager parents, but now that we have you in our arms, we understand why, really understand. You're amazing . By the time we showed up at your 6 AM hospital appointment to be induced, I was already 3.5 cm dilated & 90% effaced & having mild contractions. So mild I thought I might have had high pain tolerance because I didn't feel th...

We're patiently waiting

Picture Mr Smith putting together the pack-n-play. He was so cute. Mostly when he had to read the directions. Do we have a child? Don't ask such silly questions. Hopefully it won't collect too much dust in 5.5 months. We're ready now . . . (but not really) It has a changing thing and a removable bassinet that vibrates.  I'm okay with not needing a changing table.  It will probably mean we won't get a crib for awhile too.  Next we need to hear from our baby/exercise friends a good car seat & jogging stroller (maybe ones that work together)... Any favorites? Then a blanket . . . Then a breast pump . . . Then a diaper bag. . .  Then lots of diapers, toys & cute clothes.  And even a mobile.  Then they get older and there's even more things. Mr Smith is just so thrilled. I'd love to hear about any products that you recommend/absolutely love having. Here is one thing you can do to annoy Mr Smith: go ...

We Remember... All the Time We... Spent Together

By
My 1-1 days are shortly coming to an end with my oldest who decided to have more time with me and her youngest sibling this past year & I'll forever be grateful for that. I'm never ready for them to grow up and give most their time & attention to everyone else.  Again, we are excited for another phase & this time she gets to be the big kid coming back with more rest & confidence to wrap up her middle school years going part-time for 8th grade. Will busy work burn out still be a concern? Will "learning" in a noisy & crude environment still be a concern? Will losing more of her childhood still be a concern? Yes, yes and yes. However, she knows how to choose good friends, she knows how to work hard, and she knows she enjoys structure & peer competition coming from outside the home. I don't know if she'll push herself to participate more in sports, or find new opportunities elsewhere, but that's the blessings of this life - there are al...
