Baptism Video

Lexi was baptised on September 16th. It was a very nice ceremony and we all had fun at the lunch afterword. We'd like to thank everyone who helped us celebrate this. In case you missed it, here is the video:



The dress that Lexi is wearing is Kristi's baptism gown. This was made for her by her Aunt Betty. She is wearing a cross that was given to my parents for me when I was a baby. While you don't see it in the video, she was wrapped up in a quilt that was hand made for her by Grandma Nell and Dorris Henry (a member of our church).

With the announcement of the Winter Classic game on New Years day, I thought I'd ask the following question:

Two month checkup

Lexi had her two month checkup today. She weighs 11 lbs 5 oz and is 23.5 in tall. This puts her right at the 50th percentile for her age. The doctor said everything looks good and she is developing well. On the down side, she had her first batch of shots, so she's been a little unhappy since the doctors visit.

Now that you know what's going on now, I'll fill you in on what you've missed. The big development is she is learning new sounds. She has a good assortment of coos, oohs and ahhs in her vocabulary.

Lexi has been camping two times this summer. The first trip was a couple weeks ago to Lazy Lakes. She was fascinated with all the new sights, sounds and smells. Unfortunately, she got a little sunburn Saturday afternoon. This new, unfamiliar feeling had her really out of sorts, so we elected to go home for the night so she could sleep in familiar surroundings. We went back Sunday afternoon to pack up the camp site.

The next trip was this past weekend when we joined some people from the Magical Flying Camping Club in the Thousand Islands. She did much better on this trip. She slept until just before Watertown on the way up. Mostly, we just hung out at the campground with our friends, but we did make it to Boldt Castle one day. This day trip went ok, but it was hard to find a place out of the wind and this upset Lexi a little bit.

Here's a couple pictures from the trip:

A video

I still haven't gotten around to writing an update, but here's a video for your viewing pleasure:

I've been a bad blogger...

I offer my heartfelt apologies to those that have been following this blog. I posted nearly as much as I've should. I'll get a detailed post out after the weekend. Here's a little teaser of what's been going on: camping trips, visits with other babies, sleeping and more...
