Alexis is 2 months!!

Wow! Where has the past 2 months gone? Alexis is doing great! She is starting to smile at us and coo more regularly. She is a big eater...eats around every 2 hours during the day. She is doing awesome at night, I usually only have to wake up once a night now. She will eat around 10 pm and wake up again to eat at 4 am. She won’t wake up again until between 7-8 am to eat again. That is when the every 2 hours start. She is filling out in her cheeks and we go on Oct 1st for her 2 month appoint so I will find out how much she weighs. I think Alexis is more of a combination of Bryan and I, but still looks more like him than me. Alexis got to meet all of the Blume Family at the funeral last week. She was great at letting everyone hold her & pass her around! Alexis is much more of a mellow baby than Natalie. Natalie liked people so she also didn’t have a problem with getting passed around, but Alexis doesn’t make much noise. When she does make noise it is not as loud as Natalie was at this age. We are very lucky to have 2 beautiful girls! Here are some pics from the last month..

Alexis Newborn Photos

Here is a link to all of the newborn photos taken of Alexis. They were taken on Aug 23rd when Alexis was 3 weeks old. We were really happy with all of the photos and the photographer. Her name is Erin McFarland & her website is www.emLifePhoto.com. She spent a lot of time with us to make sure we got all of the shots we wanted & we also get a CD with ALL the images. We would highly recommend her for Maternity, Newborn & Family photos! If there are any of the photos that you would like for yourself, send me an e-mail and let me know!

My Grandma

Last night at about 7:45pm my Grandmother Lonnie Blume passed away at the age of 67. Over the past few years she was between living in Hospice and with my parents battling the effects of years of smoking. She was a fighter. In fact when she went back to the Hospice home on Friday, we thought she would be back home in a few days. It wasn't to be this time and we had to say our goodbyes.

I'll always remember how much she loved me, Christina and her great-grandchilden Natalie and Alexis! I'm very thankful she got to meet Alexis over the last six weeks. I'm also very glad she got to spend so much time with Natalie over the past few months.

I know she's in heaven now with my Grandpa (Pops) and he's once again taking good care of her. We will all miss you dearly Grandma, but will see you again someday in a better place. WE LOVE YOU!

Bryan, Christina, Natalie and Alexis

Baby Alexis

Hello Everyone, I thought I'd write a quick post to share a few of the great professional photos of Alexis we just got back this week! I hope all is well!

Congratulations!!

We want to wish a very happy congratulations to our friends Josh & Sarah Miller! The new addition to the Miller family was born yesterday at 4:06 pm. Claire Elyse Miller was 7 pounds 6 ounces and 20 inches long. Mom & baby are doing great! Alexis & Claire are almost exactly 5 weeks apart so it was fun to see them together. Natalie was there too, but she was having too much fun with the Miller boys to be in any pictures!
