Lexi Says . . .

Just as Paul has long feared, once Lexi started talking, she's never stopped! She is 14 months old now and is learning so much! She loves to run, climb, and play chase, tag, and hide-and-go-seek (an extremely simple version were one of us hides quite obviously and she finds us and yells "BOO").

Here is a list of words she knows, but there are lots of others she can repeat (without knowing the meaning):

1. Mama
2. Dada
3. Nana
4. Papa
5. Ba-Ba
6. Bye / Bu-Bye
7. Hi
8. Cracker (this girl should be the spokesperson for Ritz!)
9. Thank You (most of the time)
10. Please (not always, but sometimes)
11. Night-Night (pronounced "na-nigh")
12. Puppy
13. (one) Two, three
14. Julie (our babysitter, she says this over and over when we get to her house)
15. Bear
16. Nose(although it's prnounced "no-e-nose")
17. Shoes
18. Toes
19. Eww
20. Ow
21. Poo-Poo
22. Pretty (her personal favorite)
23. No
24. Boo
25. Duck
26. Book
27. Tickle-tickle
28. Wow
29. Oh Yeah
30. Boom
31. Go
32. Go away (aren't children delightful?)
33. Zoo
34. Good Girl (another favorite)

We had to prompt her to say the words in the video, but she CAN say them on her own (just never with the camera rolling . . . ).

Look What I Can Do!

Lexi is so funny! This morning she was "bear walking" (if you're not in the know, that is like crawling, but on your hands and feet instead of knees) and doing headstands. She's been trying to do somersaults, too, but that makes Mommy very nervous, so for right now she is getting some major assists with her gymnastic endeavors.

Waking Up Is Hard to Do

Mommy's first day of school, Lexi's first day of waking up REALLY early.

Sugar High

We have created a monster. Alexis LOVES ice cream, but doesn't get it very often, so when she does it's a pretty big deal to her. This afternoon we stopped by Braum's for a little Sunday afternoon ice cream treat.

Once we got home, she was giving her Daddy kisses so he would give her some ice cream.
