FLAMING HOTT CHEETOS : )

Lexie is getting more exciting everyday! the last few days she has REALLY been on the GO.. and moving to bigger and better things then what I put in front of her to play with. She CRAWLS to put things in her mouth, get into things shes not supposed to get into, and SPILLING DRINKS.. IT AMUSES HER. So, On to.. WATCHING HER ALL THE TIME :) never getting to go have trips in the other rooms, cleaning, without having somebody to watch her..
It's exciting to know what interests her . " )
Today we went to the condo and visited my dad, after a LONG HOT DAY AT THE JUNK YARD. Lexie played with her Auntie Summer's Elmo doll. It talks, sits down, stands up, and when it falls down it says,"Pick me back up!" She was just chewing on him and laughing at him. I think I might have been more amused then she was !
Today in the car on the way to Arbys her Uncle Josh gave her FLAMING HOT Cheetos.. And surprisingly, She LOVED THEM! ate them all up. and made a HUGE MESS All Over her fingers and her mouth .. I should have taken Pictures.

Very Mobile Now

A couple days ago, I put Lexie down for a nap and she slept for about 2 hours. And when I went into her room to put away clothes, she was standing up in her crib for the first time and smiling at me as if to say, "look at me, Mommy!" So now she is starting to crawl around on the floor too, heading straight to objects she wants to play with or eat. My mom (Lexie's grandma) was babysitting last night and Lexie crawled all the way across the room FAST in order to get a bite of the ice cream she was eating. She kept wanting to put her hands in the bowl of ice cream, so Grandma just kept feeding a few more bites to her. She's getting around good, sitting up good, and pulling herself to standmore and more. She is a lot of fun now....more than ever.

8 And A HALF MNTHS

WOW! shes FINALLY SCOOTING! Today sHe started to look at stuff and TAKE OFF FOR IT! I was holding something to eat on the bed. And she saw it and scooted over to it and grabbed it AND ATE IT.. ! Before i had known it... she was crawlin to things she sees that she thinks is COOOL.
She LOVES TO WALK..
She finally got over her ear and eye infection that she had.. The dr doesnt know what could be wrong...
She can also FLIP FROM HER STOMACH TO A SITTING POSITION!.
Today We shared some KFC!-- fried chicken and mashed potatos.. She loved them :) I wish i Had taken some pics to share with you !

FINALLY 8 MONTHS

FINALLY 8 months!
She is talking more then ever. She loves to just play happily and hear all the different sounds she can make with her mouth.. She loves to say BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA, MA MA MA MA MA, BA BA BA BA, YA YA YA, But.... still no DADADDADAD. Johnnys a lil bit jealous. So, we have been working with it.
Yesterday we went to a birthday party. Lexie loved the cookie cake, and the ice cream.
Shes just like her MOMMY :)
She always tries to grab stuff and pull up. She loves when anybody will help her stand up and help her get to her destination by walking.
Also, I have always thought that shes not ticklish. But, I was definitely mistaken.... TODAY I tried to tickle her feet and she laughed SO HARD!
MoMMy and daddy started working at a painting job... So I don't get as much time as I would like with Lexie. I miss her while shes gone.. its like a different lifestyle. Its funny.. I felt free when i went to work and didn't have her.. haha. I miss her greatly.
I couldn't ever ask for anything or anyone to come along in my life that makes me happier then she does. :P

ALMOST 8 MONTHS !

She is getting bigger and bigger EVERY DAY!

Yesterday was Rylee's Birthday party and we were practicing more and more with holding her hands and walking around the house. She does it VERY GOOD the past 2 days. And she gets so excited when she stands up on her own. I stood her up and let go of her hands and she stood on her own for at least 3 seconds.. and then fell down. I am practicing it with her more and more.. so we will see what happens! I'm so exited.. shes getting so BIG!

Today I cleaned up her room and reorganized it... Including lowering the bed... so that she cant stand up and fall out.. She was holding onto the top f the bed and would stand up and BUST OUT LAUGHING.. she loved it! It was the cutest thing ever.

FINALLY 7 MONTHS

a walk on the beach

DADDY AND LEXIE RIDING THE MARY GO ROUND :) as u can see. she liked it.. A LOT! .. so much we road it twice in a row !

Lexie .. and her cousin Lacey. went FISHING :)

they were eating lemons. LEXIE KEPT MAKING FUNNY FACES-- But always came back for more :)

Lexie and her friend destiny (2 wks apart)

time to eat the sand??????????????? NOOOOO! but that's what she thought!

Well, I haven't wrote in awhile. I guess because i see her everyday I don't feel like shes really doing anything new.. But I'm sure to other people if they see her.. They would notice how much shes grown and all the stuff that she does now..

She is rolling all around! she does more tummy time.. But she would always rather be sitting or standing. Usually when I'm trying to sit her down she straightens her legs so its hard for me to sit her down. Shes adorable ! I have been trying to practice steps with her. But she doesn't grasp the concept yet. I put her in her walker and she can only walk backwards. Maybe she just needs to fall a couple times to grasp the idea that she needs to step. and get balance on one leg. I try not to always be right beside her and help her do every LITTLE thing... Because I feel like maybe that's why she HATES Tummy time. Because when she would cry I would just turn her over.. I guess a little crying never hurt anyone though.

We went to the beach this month AND SHE LOVED IT! we tried to walk in the sand. So she could feel the beach waves on her feet. I sat her in the sand.. and all she wanted to do was EAT IT.. Idk why she thinks sand tastes good!

She has been around other babies a lot too this month. I am trying to raise her to share. And so far shes done pretty goood :) But sometimes when she wants something she WANTS IT NOW. But usually it only takes her a couple seconds to realize that crying isn't getting her anywhere so she gets over it.

She loves to EAT! she loves ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING THAT I GIVE TO HER. Besides.. juice.. She doesn't seem to care for it that much. She would rather just have a bottle. Maybe I dilute it too much? idk.

She still wont go to the crawling position. The closest that she gets to it is when i sit her down she will put her hands down and attempt to crawl.. But, she doesn't get anywhere with her feet being under her.

She laughs more and more everyday. and doesn't sleep NEARLY as often as she used to. Shes pretty much awake all day long. She takes a couple short naps.. But when its bedtime at night time SHES SO HAPPY TO GO TO SLEEP and she will SLEEP FOR HOURS :)

Shes wonderful :) I'm usually up by 8 anyways. and she gets up after me. usually.

wheres mommys brain at?

Well when Lexie turned 6 months old. She was sick throwing up. We took her to the Dr and they told us to give her pedialyte. And she threw up longer then usual. But, after about two wks.. shes Back to smiling all the time and playing! She does tummy time for longer periods of time but still would prefer sitting up anyday :) She still doesnt like her passie.. Its grreeat bc everytime i go out.. i dont have to think about her passie. But when i put her to sleep. its a lil harder.. BC i cant juss stick her passie in her mouth and expect her to be ok. Sometimes she goes straight to sleep. But sometimes she cries herself to sleep. She will fall asleep on me now a lot though. If were out and about and I can just rock her to sleep. WHICH MAKES THINGS WAAAY EASIER.
She holds her bottle very well. Sometimes, she would rather act like a baby and have somebody hold it though.
A couple days ago we took Lexie Easter Egg hunting. It was right before her nap time though. So, she wasnt very happy the entire time. She just wanted to go to bed. She lasted til the end though. But then when all the kids played together she fell asleep. But we got some pictures.

Me and Johnny took her to see the easter bunny today. :)' She loved him. HUGE SMILES :) I get her all dressed in her easter clothes. and sit her on his lap, pull my camera out, and it wont turn on because i forgot my battery in its charger at home plugged into the wall! HaHaHa. Yeah? where's mommys brain at?
