Lexi has really opened up with her words lately. In the past few weeks, we have all caught her saying or trying to say new words. She is now saying PawPaw very clearly. Daddy is Dah-he. She says Sissy and maw for Grandma. She says “mine”. “Where’s [fill in the blank with my baby, my socks, my shoes]” Everything starts with “my”. When we are in a store and I’m pointing to things and tell her the word, she tries to imitate me. And although her words are still not spoken correctly, she is saying more of them and even in little sentences. I think one day in the van she said, “Emma, look, there’s Belle.” She knows Belle, Cinderella, Arial and all of the Dora characters (hmm, wonder why). When she wants to leave, she says “keys” which she says pretty clearly actually. She waves and blows kisses and says bye. MawMaw is teaching her to say I love you by pointing to her eye, crossing her arms and throwing out her arms for you. It’s really cute. She loves dancing and gets excited when she sees people dancing on Dancing with the Stars. She laughs at a commercial that has lots of puppies in it. She still sleeps (usually 8:30/9pm-7:30/8am) and eats well. Normally takes a nap from 1-4 or 2-4:30, something like that. I can’t believe she’ll be 2 in just a couple weeks. I think she is bigger than Emma was at this age. Some of Emma’s clothes from two years ago are already fitting or getting too small. Last night was so cute. Lexi usually goes to sleep before Emma but Emma was really tired last night and Lexi was not. So I took Emma back to her room and Lexi was peeking in the room. I told Lexi to come in and tell Emma good night. So she came in laid on Emma and patted her to try to give her a hug. Then she waved bye to her. I told her to go back in the living room with Daddy and she trotted right out. It was so cute. The girls are really good together. Emma hugs Lexi any time she cries and if Emma cries, Lexi always wants to pat her on the back. Lexi yells at Mattie, go! go! if she gets to close to her food. I don’t know why I’m thinking of all this random stuff. Sometimes it seems I will forget all the little things.
