Island Girl

Something in the Dominica air is spurring Lexi to do all kinds of exciting new things. She's rolling over from her back onto her side and has almost figured out how to go from her side to her stomach. She's holding up her head on her own and has figured out how to sit up when she's being cradled against our arms. She's discovered her fingers and her toes and spends huge chunks of time playing with her fingers and fussing when she can't reach her toes. Her hand/eye coordination is improving. She's able to reach for and hold onto things as she gains more control of her arms.
And maybe it's the heat, but she's developed quite an appetite. I'm actually considering feeding her something other than milk from Mama's Cafe. Especially since she's finally noticed that I'm eating something different from what's in her bottle.

Nona's home from the hospital and Lexi keeps her company.
She and her grandpa, or Papa as he wants to be called, have bonded.

If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times, Alexa is the most beautiful girl in the world. I maybe a little bias but she is to me.

Florida Stuarts, I feel compelled to agree with you guys. She's adorable and getting more so everyday.

Tricia she finally turned over yesterday. It was amazing. She's doing so many new things this week, J won't recognize her when we get home.
