Miss Lexie

It's amazing how much you can learn about such a little person, and for us the little personality that we're discovering in our Lexie.

Likes:

• Nursing. Her favorite thing ever and it makes me proud.
• Getting her diaper changed.
• Making her dance while we sing "every baby's shuffling".
• Her pacifier.
• Doing the Hokie Pokie with Mommy.
• Bath time (this is a new development).
• Josh Groban's Christmas album. Her eyes just light up when she hears his voice.
• Getting bounced on Daddy's knees.

Dislikes:

• Bottles. She'll only take one if she's absolutely starving and the situation necessitates it, and sometimes not even then.
• Tummy time. It begins and ends with screaming.
• Sitting in her swing for any longer than 5 minutes. She's learned that it means we will not be paying attention to her exclusively.
• Going to bed at a reasonable hour. Right now she has the sleeping habits of a teenager: she's up until 2am generally and sleeps until 10am. We can't figure out how to change that. 

We're also finding out that she has quite the sense of adventure and we can't stimulate her enough. She gets bored easily and LOVES to be played with constantly, which can be pretty exhausting to do all day long. Thank heavens for baby carriers.
