Random Thoughts

So it has been awhile since I wrote about some fun things that Lexi is into right now. I can't believe that at the end of this month my baby will be 2! Yes she already acts like a 2 year old and I think I am in for one with her, but she is so fun that it makes it all worth it!

Lexi loves hats...that is to play with hats but I can't get her to wear one when it is cold outside. She loves putting Daddy's hats on and when he is home she make sure he wears them.

We had a few friends over a few months ago and played some rock band. This was Lexi getting a little practice before the party. She loves music. I am the type of person that needs some type of background noise whether it is the TV or music. When we are in the car, at a store, or eating lunch she will bop her head to the music! The best is when Johnny's phone rings. She will instantly smile, do the head bopping and laugh at herself because she knows we love it.

My little organizer. She likes things in certain spots! The other day I saw her lining her Care Bears up, head to toe, and then followed by counting them.

Care Bears..oh the Care Bears. At night and nap she needs some in her crib. I used to allow only one or two but somehow she now gets away with as many as in her room at the time. She will not stop crying until you let her have them, and by that point in the day just let her have it! If one gets thrown over the side, trouble! When she wakes up, they all have to come out, which she hands to me one by one, before she will consider getting out too. Now it is getting to the point where she wants all the pillows and blankets out too.

She loves getting attention from anyone that will give it. She does little things and then looks at you and gives you that "aren't I so cute?" laugh and smile. Sometimes it is hard not to smile especially even when she does something naughty.

Right now she is on this "nice" thing. If I need to change her diaper or Johnny is playing with her, and she doesn't like it, instead of saying "no," she gets really serious and says "nice." It is ironic because she is saying nice but she is talking mean.

Instead of "excuse me" it is "sorry." I still don't think I have gotten her to say sorry when she did something wrong.

When were in Reno, at church, out of the blue Lexi comes up to me and says "I'm gonna get you." Then she proceeds to tickle me! The second sentence of her life is that, and I think that it really says something about her personality. Watch out all you boys out there because some day she is going to get you!

Last but not least, this girl is possessive of her things. I realize that sharing toys with others at this age is a challenge, which is to be expected, but that is not what I am talking about here. On our last trip at the airport, I checked her car seat in with my bag. She threw the biggest fit each time because the lady was touching it and she was afraid she wouldn't get it back. Then after that is all settled and done, then it starts all over again at the security about something. It used to be the stroller, this time I think it was her shoes and her Care Bear. The people behind me probably were just hoping that we weren't on their flight. I frankly would be thinking the same thing if I were them.

I just love this girl so much and I am so privileged that I was sent such a kind hearted and for the most part, easy going kid.

Lexi you are very loved by your parents and thanks for making each day an exciting one!
