Lexi, 18 months

Here is what Lexi is up to now that she is a year and half:

• Her favorite toy is building blocks.  She will quietly sit there forever and put them together, then take them apart.  I'm so grateful she found a toy to keep her distracted for a few minutes.
• She loves climbing...everything.  The table, chairs, bed, whatever.  I can not take my eye off of her for a minute, because she will move from one thing to the next.
• She's learning more and more words.  Shoes, car, ball, bye-bye, no, night night, here mommy, mommy, daddy.  I think she even says Abby and Lexi, but they sound so close to mommy and daddy, it's hard to tell for sure.
• She's learning some body parts.  She knows where her head, hair, nose, mouth, teeth, hands, feet and tummy are.
• She loves to be held.
• She's made two attempts at attending nursery, and failed both times.  She's horrible at good-byes :)  We'll keep trying, because there is no way I'm taking Lexi AND Colton to classes with me.
• She's a bit of a bully.  Hitting and biting.  Where do they learn this stuff?!  So, she is quite familiar with time out.
• She desperatley tries to keep up with Abby.  She loves to copy and follow her big sister around.  Lexi loves it, Abby, not so much.
• She gives kisses.  So cute.
• She loves to sing and dance.
• She loves to try to jump.  I think her feet only barely lift off the ground.

I just love my little Lexi.  She is such a cutie and quite the character.  Everyday, she makes me laugh.  I love this age, where they are learning and growing so much, it's an adventure everyday!
