I cannot believe how big my Lexi is getting. While I miss the tiny baby snuggling days, I am having a blast at this age too. She talks all the time and cracks me up! She loves to read still but she really likes to play the "can you find the..." game. She has the cutest little "here it is" when she points it out. :) Sometimes I will stop reading the sentence and point to the picture so she can say it and be part of reading the story. She just laughs and laughs when she helps read. We have started having tea parties. It started when I got her a new baby that came with its own little sippy cup. She brought the cup to me and said "drink" so I filled it with some water. Next she started pouring the water from the sippy into her tea cup. She does really well getting the water into the cup and drinking from the tea cup. She has started to engage me into games she wants to play instead of me initiating them or just joining her play. I love to see her imitate what I have been doing with her. We get a lot of "1...2...Go!" Sometimes there is a 3 but most times she jumps from 2 to Go. I love to watch her play night-night with her babies and stuffed animals. She usually gently lays them on the blanket/couch/cradle/pillow and then puts a blanket over them, kisses them, tells them night-night and then its 50/50 if she lays down with them and pats their backs or she leaves them and says "shhhh.... baby sleeping". She is such a sweet little girl. I love that she tries to make me laugh. For dinner tonight we had grilled cheese and tomato soup. I gave her a little bowl of soup and for the most part, she did very well. Near the end of the meal, she dumped her soup onto her plate and then fished the corn out of the mess. She started to splash in the soup and after I told her no, she did it again, laughing. Again, I told her no, to which she replied, "just a little" and started splashing with just two fingers. I couldn't help but laugh with her then :)
She has almost completely figured out how to get my Nook unlocked and get to her books and apps (although we have started calling it momma's orange book since she was correcting me to "book" each time I would say "nook" and it has an orange cover). Now she has started trying to figure out my iPhone. Such a smart girl!I love that she is starting to tell me what she wants to watch (lately she only wants Ice Age 2 - she likes the mammoth and the sabertooth tiger). We have been working on colors, counting and potty training. She is doing very well with her colors and usually gets things right. She is good at the 1...2... counting and sometimes the three. She LOVES to talk about going potty and has gone a few times on her own little potty. Turns out I have a lot of things I am loving about this age :)
