Lexi,
I know I say this every month, but you are seriously SO stinking fun and cute right now!! I just love every stage, and each time I think I've reached my max for how much I could love a little person, you do something new that makes my heart melt. It is so much fun being your parent and watching you explore the world.

Did I mention you started walking finally?! I'll admit I was getting tired of so many people asking this. I don't know why. It's a typical question that people start to ask around 10ish months. One day I was getting you dressed, and you were standing in your room while I pulled up your skirt. You asked me for a necklace (I'll touch on that later). I told you I'd get you a necklace, and be right back. I walked into the closet and heard a giggle coming from your room. When I peeked my head in, you were WALKING towards me, and SO proud of yourself!! Once you started, you never looked back! No more crawling for this girl! How adorable is it that we now have this little person walking all around?! I LOVE it!
This is going to be kind of a jumbled up post, but I'm just going to list a lot of the things you enjoy right now:
- NECKLACES, BRACELETS, ANY KIND OF JEWELRY!! You ask for it everyday, and Nana gives you whatever she is wearing when you ask for it. Lovely. Now you think when you see a random person who has a necklace on that you want, they should take it off and let you play with it. If only, right? ;)
- Watching me put on makeup--You love to play in my makeup bag each morning. You pretend to put on blush. Oh dear...shouldn't we have several more years until that begins?
- Horses--Keith let you ride with him one morning for the first time, and you LOVED it!! You were mad when I had to get you off. It's a bit scary that you have no fear of these large animals, but that's how I grew up to, so I guess we'll be okay.
- Minnie Mouse- you ask for Minnie by saying something similar to Nana's name. It's your favorite right now.
- Baby Sign Time--You get SO excited when we let you watch this. You've learned so many signs from it, and love the babies in the videos.
- Books- You're still my little book worm! Makes this teacher's heart happy! ;)
- Purses/Bags- You love to go through purses and bags! Such a girly-girl!
- Babies-- Oh my! You love taking care of your babies! YOu feed them, change them, and carry them all over!! ADORABLE!
- Outside--Love playing outside and at the playground at the lake!
I'll do a recap of the words you're saying in your 16 month post because there are lots! We had to switch doctors for your 15 mo. checkup because of insurance. You handled the new office like a champ! They even give books to kids at well-child checks! How cool is that?! The doctor was pleased with all of your developmental achievements and said you don't need to go back until you're 2! You are in the 10th percentile for weight weighing around 20ish pounds and in the 50th % for height. You stood on the scale this visit to get measured and weighed and looked adorable!
As always, we love you to the moon and back! It's such a blessing getting to be your parents, and we thank God for you every day!
XOXO,
Mommy & Daddy
