trying out milk.

LEXIE LOVES HER BLANKET FROM HER LOLLY AND POPS :)
I went in the room after her nap and she was standing there with the blanket over each shoulder- She was so cute- But of course- By the time that I got the camera and got a decent picture- The blanket had fallen. I still LOVE IT though.

Shes still just 11 months- and Amber tells me to try giving her milk- LEXIE loves to steel RYLEES sippy-cup with SOY MILK in it. It tastes a Lil sweet - so I've heard.

I have been trying to limit her to one bottle a day. I decided to try giving her some skim milk that amber had- Amber said she would like it- For some reason I said she wouldn't-

She was excited thinking it was apple juice- AND SHE DRANK IT. and HATED IT.. haha.

She kept putting it down- and making a sour face. HAHA. I kept giving it to her during the day while she was thirsty hoping she would like it more. But, - NO LUCK so far -

I will keep trying. :)

She has also been throwing little temper tantrums when shes sleepy. She hates it when she is so into something- and I will grab her and bring her inside and she will flip out CRYING KICKING AND SCEAMING! I usually just put her in her crib with her blanket and shut the light off and the sweet angel sticks her thunb in her mouth and falls right asleep.

I can't believe her birthday is so soon :) I have decided I want to have her party at Chester frost park because I think more ppl will come. maybe?

I don't know. But a cook out sounds great to me. and a pinata party for the older kids. and LEXIE can play in the park for awhile. open presents- and call it a party :) I have no idea who will come .. Most ppl are flaky- We will see.

STANDING BY HERSELF... A LONG TIME.

Today I went to my great dads house. (he just told me to add an adjective before DAD)
Right when we walked in I put her down- standing......... and she stood for 30 seconds BY HERSELF. She knew she was standing by herself. and she was standing there with a BIG smile on her face- Too bad I couldn't get it on camera- I never have my camera when I actually need it. She was so proud of herself- before falling down. ha.
My dad was VERY excited that he got to see her (pretty much for the first time)
She wont do it again- I'm not sure what put her in the mood to show off for me. I am just hoping that she wants to show off for her daddy when she gets home. HA.
Right now she is spending some time with Jennifer- and hopefully Summer will wake up soon and get to play with her before we leave here.
Earlier we were in the living room watching her play with a talking book. and the book said HAPPY. and she said happy. WE ALL HEARD HER. she tries to play us like she cant talk.. ha.
BUT she is smarter then she chooses to let me believe. I think she likes being my BIG baby.

bye bye... lexie

Lexie is now walking all around the house in her push walker. She also feels more and more comfortable holding on to my hand with one of her hands and getting to where she wants to go.
I met my friend heather at our apt office because she was there to fill out an application. So, I brought Lexie over there to play with him for a lil while.. HES 6 MONTHS OLD and BIGGER AND LONGER THEN LEXIE.. i couldn't believe it. haha. any chunkiness that she used to have - she doesn't have any more. When they were leaving I told Lexie to say Bye Bye yo Caleb- and she waved at him.. and smiled ") I didn't know that she knew how to do that.. sometimes she does it- But she actually knows what it means. So. it kind of surprised me.
I'm going to take her to get her 11 month pics today. I hope that she does better then last month. I made it for a later time- so hopefully shes not sleepy.
i STILL have NO ideas for her birthday.. anyone have any???????

almost walking

Lexie is now 11 months. I cant believe in less then a month will be her birthday and i still have NO IDEAS on what to do for it.. I need to make some invitations. I just cant decide what to do.. I was thinking of doing one with my friends baby is 2 days younger then Lexie.. But I haven't talked t o her in awhile... HMM i think i need to get on the ball :)

So, Lexie will be walking in NO TIME. She now will stand by herself.. She used to be too scared to try. Also. she walks all around the house with the walker. When i hold her hands and walk her around the house. She basically can do it herself.. she just doesn't think that she can do it without something to hold on to. So, we will see how long it takes her to start walking I am excited. - also dreading it.. haha.

I bought a new couch. and i really don't want it getting sticky and germy.. hmm. so.. i will have to stick to her using her high chair to eat EVERY TIME.. no More drink spilling..

10 mnths and growing

fell asleep on the floor- haha. she must have been tired :)

well- i havent updated lately- Because i tried a cpl days ago and for sum reason it was telling me that this website was no longer a website.. very strange.

Back to lexie. I went to get her ten mnth pics recently. I wld say besides when she was a newborn and wldnt her open her eyes for me for the camera- this was the hardest that she had ever been. I Ijust happened to schedule an apt for a day that she was CRANKY the entire day- so all she wld do was cry.. THe pics werent good at all. I got some very cute CRYING pics though. .haha.

She now says UH OH. i taught her when u drop sumthing on accident- u say UH OH! so .. she now says it all the time.. very much over uses the word- But she deffinately knows what it means. we were sitting together on the couch- and she kept dropping her bottle off the couch and saying UH OH and laughing. It was so cute :) shes growwing up so fast..

I still try to get her to walk on her own more- she still wont do it.. shes back to thinking that she cant walk unless she holds BOTH my hands...

So, I started working a cpl days ago. I missed her so much. and she was only away for twelve hrs..and i gotta go bak in the mrning and be away from her again :( I couldnt imagine being a full time Mom all the time. and Not Being my daughters primary person that she goes to ;)
I have been working on her room a lot lately- It is looking GREAT! Forr some reason.. the only person that doesnt seem to notice- is the one thats room it is ... haaha.. I am going crazzy with it though - I have fell in love with stuff for her room on ebay-

She has butterflies all over her room now- Now all i am waiting for is the letters that go on her wall. I am so excited.. its going to look so great when im done with it. Im thhinking that I really hope to one day soon have a bigger room for her- Its running out of room for everything that I want to do to it.

So, today lexie crawled all the way our steps outside- before i got up there. and she was knocking on Dales door for like 10 seconds :) haha.. Good thing the neighbor was obviously sleeping and didnt come to the door :)

LEXIE SPENDING TIME WITH HER UNCLE JOSH AND JAYCEE

Lexie and her cousin Jaycee Leelan

We were outside visiting with our neighbors, Jake, Amber, and her best friend Rylee. I was holding Lexie in my arms when a big hornet landed on her neck. I didn't know what to do... FREAK OUT. was the first thing that came to mind. As I tried to swat the bee away, it was not moving. When Jake tried, instead of flying away.. it chose to sting her.. I felt so bad. Even with her in my arms.. I could not protect her.. She cried and finally caught her breath. About 5 mins later she was fine. They told me that if I put tobacco on her sting it would make the sting go away. I had never heard of that before. But it definitely seemed to work :)

She is getting sillier and sillier by the day.. She loves to crawl up the steps to Rylee's house and hold on to the bars standing up dancing-- even if their isn't any music! haha.

say bye bye to cookie,

Lexie acts like shes understanding more words lately. She has learned how to clap.. She gets so excited when I clap my hands and say CLAP CLAP CLAP- and shell laugh and laugh and try to say CLAP ... shes adorable : )
She loves to take baths. She thinks its funny when i lay her down in the bathtub- and after i put the shampoo on her head- ill try to rinse it out with mmy hands - She'll laugh at me... and everytime I put my hand up to wash it off she Pushes my hand down and laughs at me. . Shes so cute. :)
Fourth oF July was the other day.. WE DIDN'T EVEN GET TO see FIREWRKS. so im not sure if Lexie was going to be scared or enjoy them. We did light some sparklerss. and she loved it.
We just got rid of Lexies first puppy. She seemed to really like her when we bought her for her. The dog was just reallly annoying at night- she wouldnt let me sleep.
Now that the puppies gone (and deff missed) Lexie doesnt seem to act like she realizes shes gone.. she still goes to the place the dogs food used to sit... She loved to Hurry over there and put dog food in her mouth before i noticed. HA.
