She insisted that her puppy come along. |
Maybe because she's a lazy bum and wanted to use him as a pillow!! |
She has started looking at pictures and pointing to the people in them, especially mommy and daddy. It’s cute because she’ll do it all around the house with our pictures on the wall. Oh, and she calls herself "baby" instead of Alexa in the pictures. Her vocabulary is growing soo fast, and I can’t believe how many new words she learns each week! This morning she grabbed my elbow and said “elbow” out of the blue. I just stared at her in amazement.
Here's a video from last week of her feeding Kyle dinner. She thought it was hilarious, and was laughing sooo hard before I started recording. She loves to watch the video and laugh and clap for herself.
And a picture of her laying Kyle down for a nap :). He got home from work and was putting her down for her afternoon nap, but when he told her it was time for a nap she ran over to her closet and pulled out all her blankets one by one and started putting them on daddy.
She’s transitioning between 1 and 2 naps right now, and only really takes a morning nap a couple days a week, but is still tired enough to need a little bit of rest every morning. Sometimes that may just be laying there for 10 minutes and then jumping up or talking to herself.
Mike came and stayed with us last weekend while Peggy and
Paul were gone visiting Grandma and Grandpa Swingle in AZ. Kyle and Mike even got Todd to come down and
play Super Smash, so life was complete.
Alexa joined in on the fun.
I made a new diaper bag this week and it was a really fun
project! It actually wasn’t as bad or
time consuming as I thought it would be.
Complete with hidden zippers and sippy cup / bottle pockets. I love scrap fabric (recognize this pattern,
Malori?)!
One last random story. We asked Craig what he wanted in a package we mailed to him last week in the MTC -- told him that I would make him anything -- homemade bread and jam, brownies, cookies, etc etc. What does the kid ask for? Chili Mac!!! So we mailed him a huge bowl to cook the macaroni and cheese in the microwave, a pop top can of Chili, butter powder and milk powder all measured out so he just needed to add water, etc. I laughed so hard that he really had us send him macaroni and cheese and a can of chili!
