Mommy Can Run!!!

Legally. Yep, although Mommy broke the rules and ran a few times prior to getting the Dr. ok, after her 6-week postpartum checkup she is officially free! Pounding the pavement (walking) for 6 weeks with the stroller and Oz was great but she is extremely grateful to be able to move the legs a little more again! She almost didn't get the ok as she nearly missed her appointment. Thinking it was at either 1 or 2 she decided to call and check around 10:45 between scrubbing floors and cleaning the toilet (yes, you wish you could be as exciting). The receptionist informed her that the appointment was in fact at 11...the hospital is also 15-20 minutes away! Mommy has never moved so fast and threw herself and Lexa in the car (after changing her running shoes for flip flops..she was getting weighed, and putting a bow in Lexa's hair....the important things in life). Mommy is proud to say that she was only 9 minutes late...and didn't get a speeding ticket!

Yesterday was Grandma's birthday so Mommy, Jace, and Lexa met her halfway to celebrate! Although it was certainly less relaxing than some birthdays it was a great time...hopefully for Grandma as well. Mommy is still getting used to the whole feeding in public thing so when the trip was planned, she envisioned Lexa eating in the nice, private family room outside the women's restroom. Um, yeah. Lexa is a monster eater and forced Mommy to use her hooter hider in Starbucks, Target, Bennigan's, and the play area at the mall. Nice.

Lexa, ready to see Grandma



Jace and Grandma getting their pictures taken.



Jace always talks Grandma into forking over the 75 cents for these rides. Before her, he didn't even know they actually moved!



Grandma entertaining Lexa. This was one of the only pictures actually taken of Lexa since the rest of the time she was attached to Mommy.




In other news...the weather has been wonderful! Jace and Lexa have been soaking up the sun outside and hanging out a little inside as well. Check it out!

Lexa loves her sling. And for all of you who miss seeing Mommy's huge belly, a little reminder...with a head poking out of course.



Jace and Daddy are planning a fishing trip and Jace decided this hat was a must have.



Mommy has been putting the finishing touches on Lexa's room (or her side anyway) with her new bow holder.



Riding bikes



Riding the Big Foot. This is a much easier task than last year as Jace can finally steer the thing. He still has trouble braking but it's progress.
