She is standing at long periods of the time ALL THE TIME NOW. She will just let go of something and stand there for like 30 seconds at a time by herself. Then give up and fall down. She has also started attempting to take steps. When she is like standing up on something - and wants to come to me she will step about 2 steps at a time to get wherever she may want to come. So, I am excited.
Yesterday I had amber and Jake over and we were trying to watch a movie. The kids had a late night- Rolling all over the couch sleepily trying to get comfortable. They never did fall asleep. I thought it would have been a cute picture... I bought her a new pink fluffy pillow for her room and I laid her and Rylee down with Lexie's Blanket that she LOVES so much. Their so sweet.
I also bought Lexie a CD with FUN songs and rhymes on it. ALL KINDS OF GOOD BABY MUSIC. Shes in the living room right now dancing to I LIKE TO EAT EAT EAT APPLES AND BANANAS.
She also has been learning how to do flips herself. She will put her head down and try to flip over- She hasn't gotten the flip over process down by herself yet though. She also has been attempting to stand by herself. She looks so funny. She will be standing completely up with her hands touching the floor. haha. SHES HILARIOUS.
Also something that she has started to do is When I see her getting into something that she probably shouldn't be and I say NO or take it away from her.. She will Get the sweetest LIL voice and say MOMMY? haha. So sweet. I don't give in although she makes it VERY tempting.

words she says at 1
she has 2 bottom teeth :)
One is all the way grown in and the 2ND one is about half way broke out. The second tooth she wasn't fussy with- I haven't had any problems with that lately :)
Yesterday Johnny went to the hospital so Jennifer took her to church with her. She said that she put her in the nursery with her new Wintertime Outfit on her. and the church was too hot for it. So, when she picked her up from the nursery she was crawling around in a diaper. haha.
Today at the dentist she learned how to drink out of a straw. I gave her some of my Capri sun and she liked it enough to learn how to suck threw it.. I think it helped when I was holding the straw to give her some- Somehow it taught her to close her mouth and suck in..
When we got back home Rylee came down to play. Lexie was playing with her new sea horse she was given by her aunt laurie. She loved it! She was holding it like a baby rocking it back and fourth with her BIG smile on!
Words that she can say---
MOMMY, MAMA, - usually says when she wants me or wants something-- (i think its because it's got a M like MORE.. Or MMMM..)
DADA,
PUPPY- Yesterday we were watching TV and she saw a puppy and said PUPPY! She usually over uses the word. But she does know what it means.
BABY- She likes to say this word- Sometimes she says the word BOBBY instead. So, we are working on that. Today at the dentist she was playing with a potato head and she was calling it BOBBY.- HA.. boy version of baby I GUESS.
UH OH- She has learned to say this when she drops her stuffed animals in stores to let me know we have got to stop. GOOD THING TOO!
BYE BYE - I have been trying to teach her to put 2 words together Like BYE BYE PUPPY- hasn't been quite successful yet though.
THANK YOU - She likes to play games with me by handing me items and me handing it back to her. and her saying THANKYOU. Kind of sounds more like (DU TU) But she knows what she means :)
PAPA- She Definitely says the word But I'm not quite sure that she knows what it means.
She also has been enjoying saying different sounds lately. She says the word MEEMEE all the time. ha. I guess because its like MOMMY but its kind of like a different word.

Lexies 1st BDAY
Lexie's birthday was totally awesome. I couldn't have asked for a better one.
In the morning time I wasn't totally sure where I was going to have her party. I called Jennifer to find out what the weather was going to be like. I found out that it was a 90 percent chance of raining. It was hard to give up the idea of the park- But, I looked at it positively and at least Josh would be able to be there-
So, I went to the store with my mom and Johnny. and My mom was going crazy Buying her everything. She is so much help :) She bought her a cpl more outfits to put in her presents. And bought LOTS of candy for the pinata. and tacos. Then, I went to the party store to get My birthday girl a birthday hat.
We took some pics of her before she got into her cake. She LOVED HER CAKE- She went straight for the icing and ate all of the icing off of the cake . Then, we busted the pinata. We did the kids youngest to oldest. Lexie had no hope of busting it. Neither did Rylee.. Or Ryan really. Summer had a chance but wasn't hitting hard enough. I don't think that they quite understood why they were allowed to hit something with a bat. Finally My mom accidently broke it. Lexie then, got a hold of a lolly pop and got sticky stuff all over her hands, clothes, house, floor. haha. It was all worth it though. She Loved all her gifts that she got. She wasn't too interested in opening them though. So, I let Summer and Ryan help her open the presents. I figured they would enjoy it more anyway.
Today I got all her toys in her room and out of boxes so she can play with her new toys. She loves to sit in the chair. She LOVES a lil car that her great grandma gave her. Its got a MOMMY and BABY in it that she can push around. and it sings. She also has been playing a lot with the ball popper. Really, anything with music she loves :)
Her birthday all together went very well.
Thanks again to everyone that came :) I don't know what we coulda done without you :)

shopping at wal mart.
Yesterday I was at Wal-mart doing a little shopping. Right when I got there I took Lexie to the toy isle so she could occupy herself while I shop a little bit.
I really figured that I was done doing my Birthday shopping for her.
I found a green doggy. That you teach it her name and it teaches her to spell her name- and you can personalize everything- to talk about what she likes... etc.. etc.. As we walked around the store she was holding the puppy. She kept saying PUPPY. Its not exactly puppy- But I know that she knows what she's saying. haha.
End of the story- Basically. I fell in love with this puppy. and when I paid I also bought the puppy.
I CANT KEEP ANY OF HER PRESENTS SECRETS! hahaha.. It just so happens that she has seen and played with everything I bought her for her birthday- But, somehow Johnny has kept each of his gifts a secret. HAHA. Good thing she is still so young- When she gets older I will definitely have to work on hiding her gifts a LOT better.
She has also gotten a LOT better at saying bye bye. Pretty much everytime somebody says Bye Bye to her she says it back and waves :)
Tomorrow is her birthday and I looked up the news and its 80% chance of rain... UGH. I really hope that we get lucky and get to have a outside birthday as planned.

learning body parts. :)
Last night Lexie was really enjoying playing with a toy. I put one on her head to be silly and she absolutely thought it was hilarious. So I would tell her put it on your head. and she would try to put it on her head. I also taught her she could put it on her ears. So, she would try. Then, I told her to put it in her mouth and she would put it in her mouth. Then, I tried to teach her to put it on Mommys head.. and Daddys head- So It helped her with understanding body parts.
Then, we went to my bedroom and she saw the toy box. I was teaching her to point at the butterflies. I said wheres the butterfly? and she would point! So cute . She is so excited about it. I cant wait to put it in her room. It will make her feel like its hers more I think.

learning a lil everyday
Lexie's tooth is coming in more- But its still not big enough to tell that she has a tooth without feeling it. She's still being fussy. She's been out of formula for the past 2 days- She has been handling it pretty well I would say- I'm not ready to get her off it cold turkey yet- Because its so convenient for when she wakes up in the morning hungry- to hand her the bottle and go back to sleep before she wakes up for good. Compared to this morning- getting up at 9 and staying up with her. She cried the ENTIRE morning. I gave her some kix cereal. She didn't want it. Usually she can preoccupy herself with this for at least 15 minutes.. This morning she didn't even want one. She cried and cried til I switched her food out for something else. I gave her some baby food (sweet potatoes and corn) She ate all of it- Didn't act like it was her favorite food or anything.. But at least She ate it better then she was eating the kix. By the time I finally got to the store this morning to get her formula, I gave her her bottle. and she drank the whole 8 oz not a problem.
Its kind of sad that I'm so close to getting her off the bottle. Its so much more convenient then food sometimes.
The other day my friend April came over- She saw Lexie throw her leg over her car and sit on it. She commented that that was really good because her daughter destiny cant do that yet-
I really just think every baby is different. They all learn different things at different times.
I accidentally left my bedroom door open while Lexie was awake FORGETTING that I had her presents that she hasn't seen yet in there - unwrapped. All that she saw was her BUTTERFLY TOY BOX that I got for her. By the time that she saw it.. she was so excited and walking all over that thing- She was trying to sit on the top- So cute- I will definitely have to get pics after her birthday of her on it.

cry cry cry :( she feels miserable.
so much for my luck. I think that I jinxed myself. Yesterday her teeth were hurting her so bad. I felt so bad for her. I put her to sleep last night because she was kinda cranky. After putting her to sleep she woke up four different times crying MAMA MAMA MAMA MAMA........
:'(
It breaks my heart to see her in pain. I gave her some teething tablets and some pain reliever medicine. It didn't seem to make any difference though. I'm not sure how tonight will be. I am hoping better- She was crying with her eyes closed while sitting up in her crib. She didn't want to be held. She just wanted the pain to go away. So, I let her stay up with me a lil while each time she woke up- But i could tell by the way she was crying she really just needed to get some sleep-
So, I put her in her crib and turned on a lullaby CD for her in her room :) I think that definitely helped- She only woke up twice after that.
I really think I need some better Cd's for her though. Their not too entertaining... HA. IDK why they would even make Cd's with music like that.. lol.. I'm sure Lexie wishes that it had a little better music too. But, it was good - the best I had.
It probably didn't help at all that shes starting to get the first signs to a cold. all night her nose was runny and it was hard for her to breathe. She hates when I wipe it- But what baby doesn't??
Hopefully she feels better tonight. We will see.
