Things to remember:
-Lexi took her official first step today. It was only one step but she did it...and before she turned one.
-Lexi climbed behind the couch and got stuck.
-Lexi loves to say baba when she sees her bottle. She also says baba (emphasis on the last "ba"and at a much higher pitch) and it means baby. It's really funny.
-When Lexi is playing with her walker and wants to clap she puts one hand up to her mouth and pats it so that she can still hold onto her walker with her other hand.
-Lexi will hold onto the back of my pants and walk around with me. I am her human walker. If I stop she will push me to get me going again.
-Lexi yelled Dada when she heard the garage open. She knew it was him coming home.
-Lexi is very friendly and always waves at other kids.
-Lexi will push anything around: diaper wipe case, mixing bowls, chairs, tuberware, boxes, etc. anything that will support her and help her to be able to walk.
-When I gave Lexi part of a sugar cookie she hated it and gagged. Are we sure she's my daughter?
-Lexi's feet are short and chubby. I had to get her special wide shoes.
-Lexi still doesn't have any teeth.
-Lexi hates it when I go to the bathroom. Let's just say I'm not ever in there alone and the door is never shut...unless I want to listen to her pound on the door screaming and watch her cute little fingers slide under the door.
P.S. I am in love with two naps a day (and Cole). I am not excited for the doctor to tell me that she needs to go down to one nap a day. I think I'm going to cheat and hang onto two a day as long as possible.
Lexi's birthday was so fun. Although we didn't do anything too extravagent she had a good time. I don't think I've ever seen her so hyper. We started the day off with me and Cole waking her up and singing happy birthday to her. Then we opened one toy before daddy went to work. Lexi and I made filled cup cakes while daddy was at work. Once daddy got home we went to Oregano's. Lexi got to open her gifts when we got home. She loved the wrapping paper and was content to sit and eat it. Then once we showed her the toy inside she loved the toy and wouldn't put it down to open the rest. After opening her gifts she had her cup cake. She didn't like the sticky frosting on her hands at first but eventually she started eating the frosting. She didn't like the cake part and actually gagged on it. She ate the frosting and cream filling and once she'd had enough she put each piece on the floor. She stayed fairly clean though, which mommy liked.
I was recently reminded how lucky I am to have a "handy" husband. How many people are lucky enough to be able to say, "Honey, I want an entertainment center for Christmas. Can you build me one?"
