14 Weeks Old

We started the week off with Justin's work Christmas party. We had a great time. I really enjoyed meeting other spouses & their children. Alexa had another chance to meet Santa. She pulled his beard down & then smiled for a picture.

This week was the first week of our holiday travel. We drove to St. Louis on Friday & then drove the rest of the way to West Virginia on Saturday. Alexa did great in the car. She slept all the way on Friday & most of Saturday.

Sunday morning we went to church with Jay, Susan, Little Justin, Caleb, Mamaw & Papaw. Alexa got a lot of attention. She was presented with a small bible & introduced to the church. It was a proud moment for the Cox family. We had lunch with the entire family including Jill, Olivia, Mady & Emma. Sunday evening we went over to Dina's house where Alexa met Dina, Jared & Elliott. I am not sure if Alexa really appreciated the company. She was very unsuccessful with trying to sleep. Right when she would close her eyes one of the boys would make a loud noise. When we made it back to Jay & Susan's she slept really well. This was the first time she went 10 hours between bottles.

On Tuesday we celebrated Christmas with the Cox's. It was a fun time with lots of pictures. Wednesday we drove to Cincinnati for our next family visit. We spent the evening with Grandma before settling in for the night. Alexa had a rough night, but we survived.

Thursday was our visit with Grandpa, GB, Jeff & Maggie. Alexa was in a bit of a grumpy mood. She took a long nap & then another short nap. It was a nice week over all & we are looking forward to continuing our traveling.
