9 months! Holy Moly!!

My sweet little Lexi,

If I had a pause button, I would press it down now. You are SO stinking cute right now with the funniest personality! You have started making goofy faces including a full nose scrunch (like your daddy), and blowing your nose while doing so to get us cracking up. The more we laugh, the more you scrunch! You are a busy little baby these days, and it is rare for you to 'sit' in one spot for too long. You're my little shadow, following me from room to room...hearing your little hands cross the wood floors and then seeing your little head peek around the doorway = cuteness overload!







Things you absolutely love to do right now: scrunch face, play 'Where's Lexi?,' talk and sing to yourself and to us, SWING, eat puffs/yogurt melts, eat any finger food, play with your sippy cup, be chased while you crawl to things you aren't supposed to (cords, electrical outlets), play with Violet the dog, READ (post on this coming soon), and pull Gus's tail.

You are still not a fan of riding in the car, sitting in your highchair, and the vacuum. Oh man, do you hate the vacuum! I just have to wheel it out for you to freak out! It's sad. I usually have Daddy take you outside, or to Nana and Pop's house to distract you, but if he isn't here, I just strap you in the Ergo, and you're good. As long as you can watch the vacuum while in our arms, you are okay. You turn your nose up to some baby purees if we give you finger foods first, so we have to be careful how we feed you so you eat plenty.

You're still a wee one, weighing in at a whopping 15, 10 and measuring 28 inches, but healthy.
You're a smart little baby that continues to amaze us each day with all of your new tricks! Each day is a new adventure that we are lucky to share with you! Our hearts are over pouring with you in our lives.

XOXO,
Mommy & Daddy

My little Valentine. (a little late)

I realize Valentine's day was a few weeks ago, but I had this typed up and forgot to post it! I wanted to go ahead and post so I'd have it for when I go back and look at my posts. This Valentine's Day was simple and sweet. Isn't that the best way to celebrate?! Keith brought us both home cards and goodies that he placed on Lexi's play mat. I felt bad I didn't even notice until Keith kept giving me weird looks. I made us pasta that night (Lexi too!), and we plan on seeing a movie soon (The Vow).
