Merry Christmas from Lexy!

Here is the little chica all decked out in her santa christmas dress! She had fun at her Christmas parties and got so many gifts! She got lots and lots of beautiful outfits and cool new toys! Very lucky girl. Oh, and she also got a surprise gift of 6 new teeth coming in all at once!!....Her top 4 center teeth and 2 bottom to the sides of the 2 middle she has already are all coming for the new year! So crazy!
We hope everyone had a very merry Christmas and we feel so blessed to have gotten the best gift of all....Alexya's smile! :)
Happy Holidays to all of you and God Bless!

It's too funny to watch Alexya playing these days. Now that she can walk, she tries to carry as much as she can or the heaviest things she can find around the room. Sometimes we are lucky and they have a handle, but sometimes they are ridiculous to carry (like the snow globe below: no handle, and way too heavy) and she will come crashing down with a bang. It's funny though becuase if she is really deterimined to carry a particular object...it doesn't matter how many times she drops it or if she gets hurt when she falls...she will try and try again.

She also has the most serious look on her face while carrying things. Like it is very very important work that she is doing. She will organize her toys (in no particular way...or at least that I can figure out) and bring them to one part of the room and put certain ones in her barn and some in her truck and then some go to me of course. The funny thing is that even though I can't understand the order in which she is organizing them, she can! She remembers which ones go where and if you move them she will move them back....all of this while still having the serious face on...like she's doing very important things and working very hard. Sometimes she even works up a little sweat on her brow. :)

The pictures are from our visit to Grandma and Grandpa in the country last week. It was our Christmas visit since we can't come out on actual Christmas (we have 4 Christmases....1. Country G&G, 2. Grandpa Mike and Sushuma & fam, 3. G&G Hernandez & fam, and 4. OURS). We had a great time relaxing and playing in the country and eating REALLY good food as always!

Lexy and daddy opening her present and figuring out what it is and how it works.

Here's the snow globe that Lexy got for Christmas from G&G Country. It is almost as big as she is and plays all kinds of Christmas songs and she can push the button and turn the music and the snow on and off.

Happy Walking Chica

I am in love with my daughter more every day. She is changing so fast and learning so much that it seems like she does something new each day now. Just the little things like scolding Toretto, then learning to sit in her new chair (so cute from Sushuma :)) and shaking her head side to side when you say "no-no-no" are amazing me and make me feel so proud of her. Just as the big events like walking are amazing me, so are the little things.
Like recently she has become so cuddly with me. It's really cute and sweet because she will be playing and then if I'm sitting on the floor she will suddenly decide to come cuddle. She'll walk over to me and flop down in my lap with her arms out around me and lies there for a few seconds then flips over and lays with her fingers in her mouth and her little body resting comfortably on me so content. It's the best! :)
She also loves bringing her books over to me, no matter how heavy they are (jolene and debbie gifts in particular ;)), and handing them to me, then climbs into my lap and gets comfortable because I made a deal with her that whenever she brings me a book, I will read it to her.

So on another note: we put up our Christmas tree, which I'm going to take a picture of, and Lexy is in awe of it. She points at it and smiles, but she's still not sure what the heck it is and, lucky for us, won't touch it yet. Also, as you can see below she is getting very good at walking now and even running (walking very very fast).
