Today is Lexie's 4th Birthday.
I went into labor in a swimming pool, which scared the bottoms off of a lady who was 7 months pregnant, sitting in the pool. She was so worried that I was going to give birth IN THE POOL. I assured her, I was not, under any circumstance, having my baby without an epidural!
15 hours later, Lexie graced us with her tiny little body and her bright blue eyes. She weighed 5 pounds 15 oz. She has more than made up for her itty bitty birth size. She is wearing a size 11 1/2 shoe, size 5 in dresses and sassier than ever. Yep, she is a bigg-un! (that is TEXAN for 98th percentile in her age group).
This morning, the birthday Princess got to open her gifts from us. She was a little bummed that her big sis wasn't here to enjoy all the makeup and hair products that she got. (because, really, when you are 4, it is very important to have your own stash of beauty products) It didn't take her long to have blue nails, pink hair and way way too much glitter on her eyes. Lexie loves lip gloss, so, you know it, she put on about 21 layers of that waxy kid gloss. I think she will have permanent dyed frosty pink lips by the time her 10th birthday rolls around.
Anyhow, here is a picture of Lexie this morning, pink hair and all.
A tradition that I do each year is to video her on her birthday. Click on the You Tube box below to see what she has to say about her party and being a BIG GIRL at the ripe age of 4!
This is the video of Lexie when she turned 3. It is funny.
Oh my goodness, that video is too cute. And I can't believe she's FOUR!!! She's changed SO much since y'all have moved, I can't believe it!
ReplyDeleteI hate that my computer ate all of the photos I took at her second birthday party (it feels like just yesterday).
Lexie,
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, my favorite little firecracker. When you are teenager and hate your parents, you can come live with us, ok? ;)
Have a great party!
Narci, Jackson (the one with no hair), & Luke
PS I remember holding her any chance I got when she was a baby!
Happy birthday Lexie!!. It was only last week that we came from Dallas to visit you, and you are 4 years old. My how the time does fly. You are growing up so fast. Hope you have a wonderful birthday. Hugs and kisses to you from

She has grown up SO much in a year! WOW. Those videos are too cute, and I think that I might just have to start doing the video on their b-days! Great idea.
