2 months

How fast time goes... little Alexis is now two months old, and continues to amaze us every day. She moves quite purposefully now, attempting to reach for things though usually missing, and reaching out an hand towards us when she wants us. She is very talkative, and is developing new facial expressions each day. She is getting really good at holding her head up, keeping it upright for over a minute at a time without even wobbling.
Her big 1/2 brother Kadyn has invented a game to play with her too, when she is lying on the floor, he crouches next to her, then when one of her arms happens to hit him, he flings himself backwards like she has knocked him over! She has no idea what is going on, but he seems to enjoy it, and it looks very funny! Its great to see how well he has accepted her, he loves giving her kisses, hugs and... pats?!
It's incredible to think that we are already a 6th of the way through her first year, but we're enjoying every minute!

7 Weeks old & a wedding!

Hey all, our wee girl is now 7 weeks old, and weighs 5.69kg. She is 'talking' a lot, coo-ing & goo-ing at us incessantly when she's awake. She is smiling on purpose now, and chuckles when she gets what she wants. She is getting better & better at holding her head up, and her chubby legs can support her weight for quite a few seconds now too.
Yesterday we went to her Aunty Steph's wedding, which was lovely, and she got to meet lots of new family members, and was passed around for lots of cuddles all evening, she was very well behaved, just lapping up the attention! The photo on the left was taken yesterday morning with her in the cute dress she wore, looking like a proper little girl. I've added some more photos, including ones from the wedding, onto her page. We were so proud!

6 Weeks (almost)

We had our first visit from the plunket nurse today, and, true to form, someone proceded to put on a show! There was coo-ing and goo-ing, big grins and chuckles, and when the nurse had put her on her tummy, she promptly rolled over onto her back! Doubtfully on purpose, but we were impressed none the less. The nurse said she was very strong and 'beautifully plump' (makes her sound like we're fattening her up for xmas! :-D ), she now weighs 5.32kg, which puts her at the 75% quartile for girls of her age, proving all of us who thought I'd have a small baby very wrong!

1 Month Old

I can't believe we're here already, one month old! On Wednesday she weighed 4860g, over a kilo more than at birth, and is approx. 55cm long. She is spending much more time awake now, still only maybe an hour a day, and has begun to make 'ahh' and 'gaa' sounds, which is a nice change from 'waaah...'! Her smile is developing nicely too, I think it's going to be like her dads one :D
I've uploaded a few more photos too, so keep checking for changes!
