New Things

Over the last few weeks, Lexi has started doing a lot of new things. I’m sure I will not remember to list all of them, but I’ll try.

1. She is now waving like a beauty queen with her fingers very still.

2. She started playing catch with me. When she was sick, we didn’t have a ball, so we started tossing a plastic block back and forth. I put her about 6 feet away from me. Half the time she throws it right to me. I usually toss/roll it back to her.

3. Her temper tantrums have increased and last longer. When she is tired, she throws little fits over everything.

4. She is singing funny little songs now.

5. She is clicking her tongue a lot and will often look at someone very seriously and start doing it.

6. She says, “ut oh, ut oh, ut oh.” over and over and over again.

7. She hates the baby food lasagna and spaghetti, but can’t get enough of the Italian food I make for us.

8. Her appetite has finally returned after last week. Actually, it has returned with a vengeance and is making up for lost meals.

9. She is even more playful if that is possible. All of the doctors and nurses were so surprised that a baby as sick as she was would still play peek-a-boo with them.

10. She is also saying, “dog,” whenever we see a dog. However, it sounds a lot like the way she says duck.
