For My Mom and Dad

When my parents are babysitting they never know what Lex is trying to tell them. I have been promising them a video of all of her signs and what they mean and have finally gotten around to it.

So here you go mom and dad. She has quite a few that look exactly the same but mean different things so you will just have to guess on those.....

We went to rainbow family day at the local pumpkin farm. The kids had a great time, and we got to meet a lot of families.

I was so excited about the pony rides, but this was as close as we got. Luckily they had a policy that if your kid freaked out and wouldn't get on the pony you could get your money back. Maybe next time!

Fall Fun!

I got some cute shots while we were waiting for Ciara to get off the phone and come outside to run errands. They are always moving so quickly its hard to get shots of them....Notice how there is only one of Tyler, its not because he's older its just because he moves so much faster. the ones of Lex were even blurry and she still isn't that good on her feet. I'm scared of when she actually can start running.

Look Who Is Learning to Brush Her Teeth

She loves brushing her teeth and her new training tooth paste. Just wanted to share, cuase I think she's cute!!!!

We had a wonderful Halloween. I thought Alexis was going to go crazy when she figured out if she went up to the house that she would get some candy. She discovered that she didn't have to get out of her stroller, and her brother would just run and deliver the candy to her:) I think if we had gone in our neighborhood where the doors were closer to the sidewalk she would have gotten more into it. We went to a friend's neighborhood which was awesome for Tyler - TONS of houses and most of them handing out candy!!!! I can't even imagine how much he would have gotten if it hadn't started raining.

The next day we couldn't get the pumpkin full of candy out of her hands (as illustrated by the pictures of her taking it to naptime with her). After she fell asleep I was able to hide it and today she hasn't remembered it because her Mama kept her busy with a trip to the mall for storytime, a train ride, watching the fish at LL Bean, and a pretzel!!! I miss out on so much fun now that I'm working:)

Apple Picking Year Two...

We found a new place to go and pick apples this year and we had a lot of fun. We went with our friends who have a son a year older than Tyler and a daughter a year younger. The kids had a blast. They had a raspberry patch also and Alexis LOVED them, she just couldn't get enough, I think she ate more than that got into the bucket.

Here she is with her little buddy Ryleigh.

What a difference a year makes!!!

The boys and their Ipods.

Again...last year she could only look at the apples.

Updates...

Words we think we've heard:

Mama

Dog

Hola

Tyler

She is imitating tons of actions and has a few signs she uses:

candy

water

all done

noodles/more

dog

waving hi and bye

She has also developed an ATTITUDE when you take things from her or something doesn't go her way...

She has started talking on the phone, using remotes, pointing them at things and pushing buttons.

Oh and she got her first haircut.

Here is her talking on her "phone". I was using the computer so she was watching herself.

She was fascinated and kept waving hi, or trying to pass herself the phone.
