18 Months (Nov. 23)

Lexi,

Oh my goodness, it is so stinking fun watching you learn something new everyday! I really didn't think it was possible for you to absorb things so quickly at such a tiny age, but it is amazing what you little toddlers are capable of. This is going to be a long post of little things you are doing, and it might make no sense to others, but I know it will help remind us when we look back on it. Here is what you are up to right now...

You love to look for the moon everywhere when we are out at night. When you can't see it, you say, "Moooonnnnnn, where'd go?"

You enjoy laying blankets on the floor and pretending to go night night. If only it were that easy to get you to actually fall asleep, haha.

You pretend to fake whistle when going with your daddy to call the horses and feed them. It.is.Hilarious!!!! We've tried to get it on video several times, but no luck.

You absolutely LOVED dressing up like Minnie for Halloween. It's safe to say she is your favorite character, and has been for sometime. We know you would absolutely go ecstatic at Disney World if we took you back now. We promise to take you many times! Daddy said he never went as a child, so his kids are going to go so much they will be sick of it! Lucky for you. ; )

You have also started bringing me your tutus from your closet, and asking me to help you put it on. Oh, how I love having a little girl! We paint our toes often together too when you ask.

We went shopping with the babies for Christmas stuff at Toys 'R Us, and you kept wanting to share your snack with them. We are making progress! Although I'll admit, I'm not sure if it's just you thinking you are 'helping' take care of them by feeding them. Hahaha you're such a little mommy.

You still don't enjoy sharing your babies or strollers. If we take you into a store, and you see one or both, you will quickly snatch it up, and it is a battle trying to distract you away from them. When we were at Target, we let you walk around in the toy section. You found a stuffed mickey and minnie, and picked them up, walked over to the cart, and put them inside. Have we already learned how to do this?

After a long and busy week, you actually asked me to go night night. It was precious, and caught us by surprise.

You mention CoCo, DoDo, and baby (Lo) all day long throughout the day out of nowhere. It is amazing how much you think of them with them living a couple of hours away. You absolutely fell in love with 'Baby Wo' the minute you saw her. It has eased my mind and heart on how you will handle sharing your mommy and daddy when we make room for the new baby.

When you eat certain snacks, you associate them with Nana since she always has a stocked snack cabinet for you. When we are leaving her house, you ask to get in the cabinet and pick something.

You LOVE pink! Of course you do, you are your mother's daughter after all. You point to everything pink and tell us what it is  along with the color.

When we were at the doctor's office for baby brother and waiting in the room for the doctor, we were playing the "Say _______," game. When we said Jackson, you howled just like he does. Haha we had no idea you even knew who he was. Have I mentioned how terrified you are of my doctor? You cry so hard, and nothing consoles you unless I am holding you the whole time, even during the ultrasound. Pretty sure you are being protective of your mommy because he is not scary at all, and he thinks you are a little doll.

You help me vacuum each morning, even when I am not vacuuming, by using your little toy vacuum. You still love all your books, especially your birth book, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, and I'm a Big Sister.

You love Little Einsteins on my phone, and request it by saying, "Pat Pat." You raise your arms in the air when they say, "Blast Off." We get such a kick out of watching you do this each time.

We love you SOOO much!










XOXO,
Mommy & Daddy
