16 months old

Lexi is now 16 months old. I have really learned to enjoy this stage and have so much fun with her. After she turned 15 months old (and I told the doctor that she wasn't a picky eater) she started spitting out everything we would give her. She only has about 6 foods she will eat right now so any tips would be greatly appreciated. I got a new calling and am now it Young Womens. This has been really good for me and also very challenging It has made me realize how rare this time I have with Lexi is right now and has helped me find a lot more joy in it. It has also made me fearful for the teenage years:) I was reading in Nephi about the tree of life and how Lehi saw two of his sons stray from the iron rod. It made me cry because now that I am a mother I can see how painful it must be when you have wayward children. I really hope Lexi can gain a testimony and make good choices. I love Lexi so much and am so grateful for her. I love being a Mom and have a lot of fun doing it. Lexi has a few new tricks:

-She signs more and can say more

-She tries to do the actions to the songs we sing

-She tries to jump and thinks she's so cool when she does it

-She knows when you say pray or amen she should fold her arms and loves it when we pray

-She likes to walk independently in stores and looks at all the other babies in the carts to brag.

-She loves shoes! She loves to put them on and gets really frustrated if she can't get them on. We went through some hand me downs I have for her and she would try on each pair and walk around the house to try them out. She loved it.

-She can walk around our entire block and loves it.
