No new pictures to put up, but I wanted to give an update. 1st please save the date Saturday, November 22nd for Alexya's 2nd Birthday party and baby shower for Santino. We're having it at her favorite restaurant, El Tapatio, so come hungry! Also, we decided to move Alexya out of her room and into a brand new "disney princess" themed room! Thanks debbie for the idea! Santino is going to get the A's themed room since it's all set up already for a baby and Alexya gets a new room with a theme she will really love! I found her bunk beds and princess sheets and comforters and we're painting the room light blue...so not to overwhelm ourselves w/pink princesses! :) Since I'm going to Tahoe with Candice for my b-day and getting a prenatal massage...yes...can't wait...Robert is going to paint the room while Alexya stays at grandma & papa's house. So an exciting weekend for everyone....right robert??!! hehehe
So some Lexy chatter updates include:
"Unnnnn-Noooo!" - oh no! - which is said for anything that spills, is dropped or broken or if she falls.
"Papa" - grandpa - for Frank
"Ga-Ma" - grandma - for theresa ... she just learned to say these last weekend and is so proud of herself that she says them over and over.
"Haop" - Help - when she falls down so you can pick her up or if she's stuck somewhere (very often).
"Ta-to" - Toretto - her fav playmate right now
"g0-g0-g0" -let's go - learned from backyardigans song...she will usually say it and start running off!
"caa" - car
"cea-e-ol" - cereal
juice and agua are actually pronounced correctly!
and her phone conversations (the fake ones) have been extended to include the following..."hi, hello, hello, hi, giberish that I can't understand, then laughing, then more laughing and giberish and then, b-bye!" So hilarious to actually watch it in person..it's almost like she's making fun of you on the phone.
We still get the kisses and hugs (with sound effects) and now she started saying ouch when she gets hurt. The crazy thing is all these words were random until about 2 weeks ago...and now they have come pouring out and she will even repeat a word you say if you say it to her over and over...which is just crazy to me...she is growing up so fast already turning into a little girl. She can feed herself now with a spoon or fork..which is very messy, but she insists on doing it herself and loves to practice drinking out of a cup w/no lid and not spilling ("Unnnnn-Noooo!").
She still loves/is obsessed w/water and swimming and is now very good at climbing the playgrounds and going down slides very fast! Yesterday, she met a little boy her age who would go down the slide at the same time as her (it was a double slide) and they were inseperable...until he spotted a bike to play with and she decided to yell at him from the top of the playground to make him come back...until daddy decided to go down with her instead. The boy was in love with the bike and had moved on..which she didn't like. My friend amy was on the phone with me at the time and told me alexya was acting like me......hmmm....i don't see it...
Anyway, there are a million more things, but obviously I can't put them all in here...so you will just have to come hang out with us/her to see them. Oh, and suddenly she is very shy if she doesn't see you every weekend.....(grandma/papa)...and so it takes some time for her to warm up to you...just fyi.
