Lexie's Conversations

Lexie has been so verbal these last few weeks, lots of gibberish, but also a few recognizable words. She loves to get my attention by saying loudly "Momma" then I turn and ask what and she replies in gibberish but with a very serious face and tone, then I say "oh really, ok" and turn away. She will repeat this process over and over without getting bored until I can distract her. Too funny when we are around other people though. They find it very entertaining. She enjoys coloring with Caleb, or sometimes over Caleb's work. Lol!She still loves to read and has been repeating duck, bird, and points out many other animals she cannot say. And now she does much more than just "Moo" for all animals, she can "roar", "baa", bark, and make a fish face. I am so impressed by how fast she grasps things around her. Though I don't know why I am surprised, she is her mother's daughter. Lol! My Mom would probably take the credit too. Caleb has been so excited that she can actually play with him now. They can entertain each other for long periods now, with the occasional disagreements or injuries. But that's to be expected. Caleb really is very good with Lex.
He loves her very much, and gets very protective of his "Baby Lexie." Even when she gets in trouble by me or Greg, he gets very defensive. She's going to have a hard time with him when she's old enough to date, which makes Greg very happy.
Lexie seems to have a shoe fetish as well. She constantly lines all our shoes up in the middle of the kitchen. Or sometimes takes one shoe from each pair and deposits it somewhere. Greg gets frustrated often trying to find his other shoe on the way out of the house. Lol! It's usually in a toy box or laundry basket somewhere. Once he found his cell phone in the toy barbecue grill.
