Alexya got a new A's monkey from her aunt candice. It came with a little baby monkey too, but lexy has claimed the big monkey as her "baby" and is taking care of it only. She decided to put it down for a nap here...and I made her climb into "bed" with it for the picture, which she thought was funny.
Alexya updates include her refering to herself as "lexy" now (I ask who's room is this and she says "lexy's room).
She can say complete sentences now which is so cool an easier to understand. She repeats words or phrases or even sounds you make; ex: I yell "toretto, stop barking!" and 'sigh' because he's not listening....she immediately yells the same thing and then 'sighs' the same way. So funny but kinda scary too cause you really have to be careful.
She wants to help with everything now...whatever you're doing, from cooking to cleaning to laundry to feeding Sonny, she wants to help... "I help mom?"
She'll also tell you exactly what happened if she gets in trouble. Like if Robert tells her to go inside because she knocked something over in the garage, she will come in crying and say, "mom, it fell and dada mad, go inside now." I also told her what "tantrums" are (they are when you cry cry cry for no reason) and so when she has one, afterward she will explain to me that, "i cry cry cry mom."
Honestly, I think we have finally hit the tantrum max and now they are coming less often. A couple of times she's caught herself starting to have one and stopped, so I think that's progress. I know they're not over yet, but seriously, it's nice to know you're on the down side of the tantrum curve...I seriously was going to lose my mind if they got any worse!
Here are some shots of Sonny in his "gym" playing and trying to roll over. He can get almost all the way over now. You can see in the bottom picture that it's just getting that shoulder up and he's got it! He loves to reach up and grab the toys because he can now and is very proud of himself! He smiles and even laughs now when you watch him... he loves attention. (for those of you wondering...yes alexya would get in the gym with him at first and showed him how to grab all the toys...then she got bored and so now it's all his).
Aunti Lauryn came over to hang out with her niece and nephew. She had fun getting a toy and jewelry makeover from Alexya and watching Sonny try to roll over.

Tantrums! Wow, I have no idea where they pick up it... Isabel started a month ago! Out of the blue, she started to throw her arms up and down and jump when she's mad.. Of course then there's the rolling or sitting on the floor and not getting up... oh fun times (not!).
Just talked with Great Grandma Hank. She has agreed to work harder on her dumbell exersizes, in order to carry Sonny (the ringbearer) down the isle at our wedding.
