Fun Games at Home

Since we had a ton of candy left over from the pinata...lexy has found some new toys! She loves shaking the boxes of hot tamales and mike 'n ikes. She loves them so much that they have been her favorite toys for the past week...she won't even put them down while crawling...she just uses her elbows as you can see! She also loves the leftover balloons because they are fun to throw around (and they are so deflated they don't pop).


Diaper changes are 'fun' now...she will roll back and forth and arch her back in order to make it very difficult. The whole time she thinks it is so funny because she is smiling and even laughing (not so fun for mom and dad let me tell you grrrrr).

Pressing her face against the glass is fun too! Thanks auntie Candice for the adorable "cupcake" trundle. These are coming in handy as it is getting cold now. It's weird though, we had to go to 3 different stores looking for ones that had grip on the feet so she won't slide when standing up on the hard floor. They seem to only put them on the bigger sizes...whatever people! So we ended up buying two w/o feet and then socks w/grip. ;)
Other new things she is doing include kisses: these started a while ago, but then they died down and now they are back w/ a vengence! She is kissing pictures in books, the window, the couch, the floor, her toys and sometimes even mom and dad (and if she could catch a kitty...)
She is very good at saying "kitty" whenever she sees a cat including a tiger on tv or in a book or in the house she says "kitty" in this high pitched squeeky voice (which is how I say it...so it's not weird, unless I'm weird...anyway)
She has just learned how to point! Which is so great because now when she wants something she points at it and we know what she wants. It's cute too because sometimes she will point at me or robert and we point back at her and she loves it.
She likes to alternate feedings...like we have 2 spoons and I will give her a bite from my spoon (w/ food on it) and she will give me a bite from her spoon (w/imaginary food on it). And she has the biggest, stupidest, most adorable open mouth smile (sometimes w/food showing) the whole time.
The last thing...I think I mentioned before...she is dancing. She will get excited or hear a song and start bopping up and down bending her knees and we say "go boogy go, go, go, go, go" and she does it faster and then she sticks her butt out and goes left to right bopping it up and down! Robert even caught her bending down to grab something in the middle of a dance and so she stayed bent down and had her butt in the air and was bopping her butt up and down!! So funny! I swear, it's never ending with the new things she is doing and it is so great to experience all this! I am so lucky.
