Lexi is now 19 months old. It seems she is too old now to keep track of it by months. She is such a delight. She still loves to talk on the phone and I've included a picture of her using her hand as her phone. Her conversations usually consist of the words Hello, Hi, Oh, some gibber, and then Bye. She loves her daddy and gets so excited when I tell her he's coming home. She runs to the door the minute she hears the garage opening. The first thing she usually says to him is ball because she knows he plays ball with her. The words Dada and ball always go together. She takes after Cole a lot. She is quite inquisitive about how things work. She takes apart anything she can. She loves to take batteries out and the other day she disassembled a flashlight. She also has his food preferences and loves meat although she does have a little of my sweet tooth.
She loves to be outside doing anything. One of her favorite outdoor activities are bubbles. She likes to go to the park but doesn't really like swings or going down slides. She prefers climbing things while we are there and going up and down the stairs. She loves to read stories. She loves babies. She's also become quite creative with coming up with things to use as stools. She will use toilet paper, tuberware, anything she can get her hands on to help her get a little higher. She also likes to use them as chairs. She has started to like to watch "shows" and her favorites include Curious George, Barney, and Caillou. She's a lot of company and entertains us. I am so grateful for my cute little Lexi Jane.
This is my latest craft. It was an experiment and turned out pretty good.
I knew kids liked to be outside but I didn't realize they wanted to be outside all day. From the moment Lexi wakes up until she goes to sleep all she tells me is "side" and "swing". She loves to do anything outside and loves it when we go to Cole's work for picnic lunches.
This is the view from my neighborhood. This isn't the exception it is the norm here. We are surrounded by pine trees.
Lexi said her first two words together, "good girl". It took us by surprise because we didn't know she could say either of those words. I also didn't realize how often we say that to her until she started repeating it. Her only other two words have been, "my dada" and "that's mama". She's still into dressing up so I've included some cute pictures of her doing that. I've also included some pictures of her feeding herself. This is something I'm not very good at letting her do so she is still trying to master it. We've also been doing a new hairstyle that's our favorite so of course I've included it. We just love our good girl and can't get enough of her.
