Alexis is 3 Weeks Old

Lexi is officially 3 weeks old, as of yesterday.  We had fun taking some pictures using our new fancy Nikon camera and I couldn't wait to share.  I know everyone thinks their baby is the cutest, but how can you not want to kiss those sweet little cheeks. 
Here are some of new things Miss Alexis is doing this week:

• Alexis has started staring at us when we talk, so Nick and I are having a ball carrying on conversations with her while she gazes at us with those big blue eyes.  I watch those eyes everyday to see if I notice any color change.  I know it will be a while until we know her true hair and eye color, but right now the dark brown hair and blue eyes are beautiful. 
• She is also exploring the many tonal ranges of her tiny little voice right now.  She is starting to make different sounds to communicate with us or when she is laying down having playtime. 
• Lexi is trying so hard to hold up her head.  She has tried to use those neck muscles since she was only days out of the womb.  She is not a huge fan of tummy time, but is already trying to push herself up. 
• She wore her first 0-3 month onesie this week.  Granted, it was still too long, but we pulled a pair of pants on over it and it worked.  At over 6 1/2 pounds, hopefully soon she will be the 8 pounds that are needed to fit into this size clothing.
• Lexi LOVES reading time already (she takes after her mama with that).  I know it sounds silly, but everytime Nick and I have storytime with her, she stares at the pages of the book.  This week we changed out her books in her book basket to include a few new books from Aunt Margaret and Uncle Bobby and Hillary and sweet Landry.  She loves Five Little Pumpkins and Pretty Princesses!

Speaking of pretty princesses, here are the pics from our 3 weeks "photo shoot".

I call this the "superwoman" pose.  She does this a lot when she stretches.
