Alexia is 4 months old and Austin Adventures

This is Mount Bonnell, the highest point in Austin. It is a whopping 775 feet above sea level. It has great views of the city and it gives my kids a place to get their wiggles out.
This is the Austin skyline. It is still weird for me that there are no mountains that surround the city, I still get turned around very easily because of this. It is a beautiful city. I love how green it is even in the middle of winter. I am excited to see it in the spring!
This is the "Trail" to the top. It is a 0.3 mile hike from the parking lot. It is definitely a tourist attraction, but you do get a little bit of the work out :)
There are trails that wander away from the main trail, My boys love pretending they are going on a bear hunt through the forest.
This is what Alexia and I did while the super bowl was on, after dinner (since it did not start until 5:30 our time... weird) It was her first time getting her nails painted, I had to use a toothpick because her toes are so small. It was so fun to get some one on one bonding time with her :)
She has such beautiful blue eyes! They are lighter then Kaleb's. Ethan got Matt's hazel eyes. I think she is so beautiful!
Especially this giggle. She is really starting to laugh and I can't get enough, she is such a happy easy going baby. This little smile just melts my heart, I am afraid I am already wrapped around her little finger.
I finally got a pic of her holding up her head. She has even started Rolling onto her back. I can't believe my baby girl is growing up so fast. She also has started scooting around on her back using her feet. I often find her underneath or against furniture and toys.
This is all of us at Mount Bonnell. I love that there are so many things for us to do as a family!

Sorry if you can't see the video, This is a video of her rolling over.

Alexia is 3 months old

I can't believe my angel is 3 months old already. They are not kidding when they say that time goes by faster with each child you have. She is such a good baby. She sleeps about 13 hours at night and takes 3-4 naps each day. She drinks 4-6 oz per feeding every 3-4 hours. She now scoots on her back using her feet and can grab on to some objects. She loves to smile and coo all the time. She has a special connection with Kaleb, she always has a cute coo and smile for him anytime he gives her attention. Ethan on the other hand we are working on, she might like him a little more if he stopped being so loud right in her face. They both love giving her hugs and kisses.

This is what she looks like when she wakes up in the morning. A smile on her face, leg and arms moving like crazy, and a hairdo that is just as wild. I can't wait for her to wake up, she is such a joy in my life.
Save Now


She is already great at entertaining her brothers and seems to enjoy their offerings ;)She seems to be growing like a weed, she is already over 14 lbs and is over 2 feet tall :) She is my little angel! Love you Alexia!
