Swimming Suits.....

I can't wait to take Lexi swimming! Mom got her some new swim suits that will hopefully fit her! LOL! She's HUGE! :) But I'm glad she's growing. Tomorrow is payday and Thursday is mine and Josh's 4 year anniversary! Can't believe next year will be 5 years! Crazy how fast time flies!

Can't wait till September because then we get to go see Josh's grandparents. Lexi tried carrots last night. She did okay with them. Don't know if they will be a favorite or not. Next week is sweet potatoes and then we start fruits! Yay! My girl is growing so fast!

Growing like a weed!

My daughter is getting bigger and bigger everyday. Now she is in 12-18 month clothes and is only 4 months! Aaaahhh! It's hard to keep up with her. If you buy her clothes, ask me what size she is in first! PLEASE! She is getting so big!

We finished squash! It was ok, not her favorite by any means. We start carrots today. So far we have done green beans, peas, squash and are now starting carrots. We only have sweet potatoes left for the veggies before we can start fruits! She is a very healthy little girl! And her gums on the bottom are turning white because teeth are getting close. She is drooling like nobody's business! LOL! 

Another new thing....She is now using her stroller without the use of the car seat! This isn't fair! Yes I know she has to grow up but I don't want her to! She is pretty much rolling over from back to tummy as well! Big changes in the Johnson Household! Next thing will be her driving my car. LORD HELP US!!!!! LOL! Well that's all for today. We have cousin Maxwell's birthday party to go to today.

Up early!

Well Lex woke up at 4:30 this morning. She went back down after she had her bottle but Mom didn't get to go back to sleep. I COULDN'T sleep anymore. I was so mad! So I am still awake. Lame. Lexi woke up at 7ish which is abnormal for her. She usually sleeps until at least 8:30.

We get to spend the day with Nonnie. I AM SO EXCITED for Tuesday. PAYDAY! On Thursday Josh and I will have been married for 4 years! Where has time gone?? Well I'm off to get Lexi ready for the day! HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

A raise!

Josh got a "positive review" yesterday! I'm so proud of him and he scored really high on his review for being a new hire!

On another plus side, I got my desk all cleaned up and got the corner in our living room cleaned from clearing out what used to be my room that is now Lexi's. So proud of myself. On the list soon is to clean the garage but I will have to have a babysitter that day because I don't exactly want to put Lex in her walker in the garage and the baby monitor doesn't reach that far. So the next list is follows:
1. Clean the Garage.
2. Scrapbook my wedding. Yes I am aware that is has been almost 4 years.
3. Scrapbook Lexi.

I promised a video of her standing. Here it is.

Also I have more pictures as well : )
This was last night. Josh was holding her and all the sudden we heard heavy breathing and she was out!

This is her dress that she wore at the wedding and might I add did quite well!
This was Lex the day before the wedding. I had to lay her down in her stroller and stick her in a dark hall so she could sleep :)

Mom, Heidi, and I were at Papa's Pizza and Lex was staring at the wall and all the sudden fell asleep like this : D That's my daughter!


Needless to say I'm a proud Mama!

Today I WILL clean my desk!!!!!

Today I will clean my desk! Today I WILL clean my desk!! TODAY I WILL CLEAN MY DESK!!!! Maybe if I say it enough it will become motivating to clean my desk... Ha ha ha. If only things worked that way. 

Lex went down for her nap easily! Maybe I will stick her walker in the computer room and keep her entertained while cleaning! Multitasking. A mom's got to do what a mom's got to do! 

Lex tried a pickle for the first time last night and LOVED it! I mean LOVED LOVED LOVED it! She kinda got mad when we took it away. Most babies make a face when they try something sour. Not my daughter! She is so cute!

She stood the other day while holding onto one of Joey's toys. I can't post the video today but I will try to post it tomorrow. Desk cleaning time!

Back in the regular swing of things...

Today is a normal day. YAY! Josh is back at work, Lex is down for her first nap, dishes are caught up, laundry is in the washer. Now I have to get back on exercising. : / Not fun but worth it in the end when Lex gets a healthier mommy. My goal is to be skinny by the time I'm pregnant again which is 2 or 3 years down the road. I am happy to take this slow and work for it!

I MUST start scrapbooking again! I MUST! Oh, and I MUST clean my desk! Still haven't done that yet but with the wedding over I will have more free time! 

Have a happy Tuesday!

Crazy few days!!!

Wow! I felt bad not blogging but at the same time life was CRAZY!!!!!!!!! We had so much to do and were even working on doing stuff for the wedding up until minutes before!! I'm done! Matron of Honor is a HUGE  job! Lots of responsibilities but hopefully the Bride and Groom enjoyed it and loved what they saw. Renita (my cousin and mother of the photographer) was a HUGE help! Don't know what we would have done without her. She ended up being the coordinator, the "flower maker" (I know that isn't the correct term), helped decorate the church and reception area, did photographs with her son and soooooo much more! Renita we appreciate it more than you will ever know.

Thursday was the rehearsal dinner. We also had a lot of decorating to do that day. I wasn't as much help as I wanted to be because that was Josh's late day and for whatever reason Lex was fussy so she was my priority. 

Friday was such a busy day. First it started off with taking Lex to get her 4 month shots, which of course didn't go over well. She was in the 90th percentile for her head, weight, and height. Needless to say she is a very healthy baby! Mama is doing her job well! Peas went over okay. This week we will be starting squash! Daddy's choice. Friday we had the bachelorette party and a lot of the decorating fell on Mom, Renita and Dad and I'm sure others as well. Then after the bachelorette party we (Heidi and I) went to her house for her to pack where she ended up throwing up. Not fun! I had to clean it up. Like I said Matron of Honor is a huge job LOL. Heidi you still owe me for that. We were driving her car, and for those of you who know me, I can't drive a stick so I kept telling her, "Please don't throw up in the car. I can't drive a stick!" I must have said that 10 times. Then we got to the church to check it out and it was like 11pm. She gagged several times on the way there. Then after we checked out what the church looked like we went back to my house where she stayed the night. We got in bed at midnight then Lex started crying. UGH!! I just wanted sleep and so did Heidi. Then we got about 2 hours of solid sleep then Heidi woke up sick again. At one point she was running a 102.3 temp. I had to get up and get her some crackers and water and then she was throwing up. Just when we got her laid down, then Lex woke up crying again. We got about 2 and a half hours of sleep that night. Then we were up by 5 to get our showers and start getting ready. The wedding went well. The bride was a little cranky but who wouldn't be going on that little sleep and being sick. We got her and Micah all happy making them leave with their presents to open. : ) Then I went back to the church to help Mom and the others clean up and set up. That night I went to bed at 9:30 and Lex slept until 7am! LOVELY! Then after her bottle went back to sleep until 11 am. Sunday was spent not getting out of my jammies and doing laundry and dishes to get the house caught back up while taking care of a sick husband. Today Josh didn't go to work because he was so sick and we took him to the doctor where we found out he's dealing with a sinus infection. Not fun! Anyways, this should make up for missing several days of blogging. Have a good evening!
