Major Girl Problem

Alexa has a girl problem. I can't really talk to my girlfriends about it. It's the type of topic that makes girls very sensitive. It's not a serious problem, but it's definitely important. I guess I better just come out with it; Alexa has a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear. Let's face it. No girl wants to hear another girl talk about how she can't wear ANY of her clothes because they're JUST too big. She can't say, oh, if I could just put on a couple pounds I'd have so much more to wear. Well, not if she wants friends that are girls. She has just had to suck it up and try to mix and match as much as possible.

I'm totally kidding about it being a serious problem, of course. But, since Alexa was born, she has worn preemie sizes. We didn't want to buy a lot of preemie size clothes thinking she would quickly outgrow them. So, I was super excited yesterday when I put on Alexa's preemie size sleeper and the legs were the length of c'pants. (C'pants are an ankle length capri, which is a huge fashion faux pas.) I think she's almost ready for newborn sizes. She has tons of clothes starting at newborn sizes and 0-3 months, she just has to hit the big 8 lb mark to wear them. Her doctor appointment is tomorrow. I'm guessing she's a bit past 7 lbs. now.

Here are a few other new Mommy/Alexa pictorial updates:

I think her laundry makes sexy time during the night and multiplies before morning when I thrown it in the washer. This is one load of three I did yesterday!

Lucky for Alexa, her Mommy has fashion connections. My friend Marci is starting an organic clothing line called Shantytown. This adorable patchwork dove onesie is from her children's collection. Yep, my baby wears green haute couture.

Everyone has asked me what in the world tummy time means. Every since the AAP has recommended babies sleep on their backs to reduce SIDS, they have also recommended that babies spend time playing on their stomachs every day to build their crawling muscles (which in turn supports their brain development.) Here is a video of Alexa working her muscles.
