I like my jacket

Lexie was given so many gorgeous presents when she was born. This beautiful pink jacket was one of them. Unfortunately we've been waiting 6 months for it to fit her! It fits her now though - and doesn't she look gorgeous in it - like a little Eskimo. EskimoBooBoo. BooBoo seems to be her nickname, if I say 'what's up BooBoo, she looks at me' if I say 'hello LexieBoo' she looks at me. When I arrived at the gym the other day I said 'say hello to the girls BooBoo' and I swear Lexie lifted up her arm and waved. She's a clever little tot.

Lexie has a cough

Lexie and I are just back from doing the shopping! We alternate where we go, we never shop on the same day and we like to try new things! Today it was Safeway on Acland Street, so big and so much to choose from. It was a tucked away surprise. I bought a lot of different things for Lexie to try as she is really getting into her 3 meals a day now. She loves sweetcorn it seems to be her favourite, but she is also eating pumpkin, rice cereal, pear and yoghurt. She doesn't seem to keen on apples though. Poor little muffin has one of those coughs that sounds probably worse than it is. I took her to the Dr and he said that if she gets worse she'll have to have antibiotics. Seeings as she is fairly happy I figure she's okay. Baby Panadol is a marvel. Lexie is still loving her bath, she kicks her feet and splashes around and loves to suck on the face washer.

We spent the entire weekend at the Pregnancy, Babies and Children Expo. I was working and Lexie was either in her pram or in my arms for the entire time. It was wonderful, great to get some extra dollars but everyone just loved Lexie. She was so good and is definately a peoples baby, she smiles at anyone and everyone. She is such a happy baby, she is just beautiful. I also got her some goodies from the Expo. A shopping trolley cover so that she doesn't get any nasties - i've just been using a cloth nappy, also some new dummies and lots of Sorbies nappies which are a new brand coming on the market.

We love trying new things! I wonder what we will try new tomorrow...

I love music

Let's hope Lexie inherited mummy's love and talent for music! It sure looks like she might have! Here's what happens when Olly the Nick Jnr muppet comes on the TV!

Oh look Lexie - It's Olly !!


"What's going on? It's all upside down!"


Olly sure is fun!

Eating is fun

Lexie loves her food - except when it tastes bleugh - then she trys to make her tongue get as far away from her as possible.


What do you think of rice cereal BooBoo?


What about when mummy puts some bannana custard with it?



I thought that would taste better!

Next post ... sing along with Olly 'we looooove Nick Jnr'

Welcome Welcome Welcome

Welcome to LexieBoo - the blog dedicated to the life and times of my daughter Lexie.

As you can see there are a couple of posts already - given that Lexie and I are both under the weather with a cold today - I guess it's not the most auspicious way to launch this little project of ours.

However, I welcome you to our online home! Please feel free to post comments and enjoy the posts.

I thought I would share for the occasion. Lexie was practicing getting ready to crawl this afternoon and getting quite grumpy about it too! I couldn't stop laughing... see what you think -- predictions please! When do we think Lexie will get it coordinated and do the crawl !!

Okay - so this looks a little mean, but seriously I was doing something, heard a commotion, turned around and she was doing the 'why can't I crawl yet!' what could I do - but grab my video camera - she's just so cute. A big cuddle with mum after and as you can see in video number 2 - she was happy as larry just frustrated she can't crawl yet!!

Trying to crawl


What happened when Mum stepped in - see she says 'I'm happy, just frustrated!'


Tomorrow - Eating is fun ...

Lexie has a cold

My poor little muffin has a cold. It's the weather, one minute it's hot and the next it's cold again, add to that constantly doing things and friends children with colds and littlies don't stand a chance.

She's very blocked up and just wants to be held by mummy. She's having a nap at the moment which has given me a chance to post this!

She was six months old on Saturday and I have now officially started her on solids. So far she's had Farex baby rice cereal, bananna, baby oatmeal and apple. She loves food! Eats it all up, I am so glad I waited til 6months like they recommend. Everyone was egging me on to start earlier but I held out, and I'm glad I did because she is so interested in eating and loves the process and munches everything I give her straight down. Clever little clogs!

She was so funny yesterday, she really wasn't sure about the pureed apple and kept making the funniest faces, she'd gag and stick her tongue out as far as it would go as if trying to actually get away from her tongue, it was so funny, I just laughed and laughed and of course the minute she saw that I thought it was funny well then she was in gales of giggles too.

My god she is a beautiful child - she's just so sweet. Even though she's sick she still smiles and laughs, she's just the most precious thing ever.

Lexie recently went to the pool for the first time and loved it - the photo is of her in the swing at MSAC in one of the baby swings. Don't you think she's adorable? I think she's just gorgeous. She is my life.

We Are Tired

Lexie isn't sleeping properly through the day and at nighttime she does sleep and goes back to sleep easily enough, but she wakes up quite a bit after 2am and as a consequence I am tired and I am sure she must be too.

She is napping right now and I am going to take a nap as well.

We are just back from the Dr as I had to visit for my own medical reasons which I won't broadcast to the world!

I'm sending off the forms for sleep school today - i'm exhausted and I really need to go.

Friday I start Lexie on solids - it's very exciting, but also a little sad - my little girl is growing up.

Before I know it - she'll be crawling.

Boo with LexieBoo

Lexie's loves to play Boo !!
