5 Months Old


Lexi is 5 months old today! She has developed a little bit of an attitude. For example, last night Nate put her to bed and she cried and cried so he went and got her. After he picked her up, she avoided eye contact at all costs because she was so mad at him. Lexi is a very happy baby and has an adorable laugh. She has began rolling around and is loving all her new toys from the baby shower.

Utah Trip


Our Family drove out to visit my side of the family a couple of weeks ago and had a very good time. This was the first time most family members were able to meet Lexi. We started out with a baby shower that was a lot of fun and Lexi was given a lot of cute summer clothes and fun toys. My niece Addison is a huge helper and loved helping give our presents and passing out napkins. My mother in law and wonderful sister in laws Juila and Kristin came, and of course as always Lexi fell asleep in her Grandma's arms.

After the shower we went to mine and Nate's favorite burger stop, Burger Bar. Nate said that was one of the high lights of his trip. The burgers there are amazing.
One of the main events of the trip was going to see our new nephew Kameron James Lund blessed. However I thought that Nate grabbed the camera and I assumed he did, so needless to say we have no pictures. But just imagine a very happy baby with a huge smile. He is adorable! We had a lot of fun at the Bartlett's playing settlers. On Monday we went to visit my Grandpa and Grandma Cheever. My Grandma suffers from dementia and is currently in a nursing home right now. She loved seeing Lexi! She has only met Nate one time, our wedding day, and we asked her if she remembered who he was and she simply said, "He looks like he belongs." My favorite part was that Lexi was able to meet a hero. Through all of my Grandma's physical and mental suffering if you ask her how she is she will simply say,"Happy! Is there any other way to be?"
After the wonderful visit we headed over the the Hill Air Force Base Museum. Nate had never been there before and I loved going there as a kid. We had a great time looking and all the different planes and learning more about the Air Force.

Our favorite times were spending time with family. Nate left a week earlier than Lexi and me. After he left my sister Natalie from California drove up. We went over to my brother Trent's in Salt Lake for dinner and games. While we were eating I noticed Talon had something shiny on his finger and was going to give it to Lexi. Trent jumped from his chair and discovered Talon was attempting to share his bugers with Lexi. Talon and Addison loved helping out the baby.










At the conclusion of our trip we had a barbecue out in the back yard with my sisters, parents, little brother and his awesome finance Bre. We had a lot of fun and we are so thankful to be part of such a wonderful family.

4 Month Check Up



Lexi is growing so fast and learning new things each day. Today her and I took a visit to the outlet mall to pick up presents for her new cousins. I tried building them diaper cakes, but they self destructed so we went and picked them up some fun presents that I couldn't destroy. After we were done shopping we headed over to the doctor's for the four month check up and shots. I also had to get a physical because Nate made me. Anyway...
Lexi cried a lot during her visit. Mostly because she was tired, but also because she hates being naked. She did give the doctor some really cute smiles, but other than that it was tears of agony. She was in the 20% (12 lbs) for her weight and 75% (25") for her height. The doctor confirmed we have a healthy beautiful baby girl! It's hard to believe come Sunday she will be 4 months old.

Big Day

Lexi had a very exciting day on Tuesday. She had her first play date with Shyler Miller and of course I forgot my camera so I couldn't take any pictures. Lexi enjoyed Shyler's play mat, but most of all loved playing with Shyler's mom, (my friend) Amanda. After we got back from the Millers we hurried and made dinner so we could go and visit Lexi's new cousin at the hospital downtown.

Nate's sister Tanya had her second baby on Tuesday morning. They named him Riley Elliott Jenkins. He was 9lbs 7 oz and 21 inches long. So far out of the three new babies born on the Lund side of the family Lexi has been the smallest. It will be fun to so them all grow together, I have a feeling she will probably be the tallest. :)
