I'm so glad when DADDY comes home,
Glad as I can be;
CLAP my HANDS and shout for joy,
Then climb upon his KNEE,
Put my ARMS around his NECK
HUG him tight like this,
Pat his CHEEK, then give him WHAT?
A great big KISS.
Lexi likes this song much better now that she knows some of the words (bolded). Click Here to see the sheet music & then the play button in the top left corner to listen.

Arf, Arf, Arf
Lexi's new way of showing excitement is to bark and point at things. She started off with dogs and then added cats in, which is really funny. Today, it was big screen tvs at Best Buy. There is nothing like high pitched arfs in a store to make us laugh.

Spanglish Skills
Lexi is babbling more than ever and her compression and vocabulary in Spanish and English has really increased. Of course, I can never think of many when I want to blog about it, but here are a few that come to mind.
Her English Words:
Banana ~ nana
Hello ~ ewo
Bye
Dog ~ dug
Arf (high pitched - she does this over & over whenever she sees a dog like last night at the restaurant)
Her Spanish Words:
Agua (water)
Gato (cat) ~ gaddo
Beso (kiss)
Leche (milk)
It isn't easy for me to report on her Spanish skills, because it takes me quite a while to figure out what she is saying. It was over 2 weeks for me to figure out gaddo wasn't just babbling it was gato. She could be saying even more, but I am not recognizing it. Poor little Lexi.

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.

Fourth Word
Lexi finally uttered another word. She said "Oye." Steve turned to me with a confused look and repeated it. I laughed. I knew that spending all that time in around Spanish speaking teachers would influence her. When I tell you what it means, you'll understand exactly why that would be a word she would hear a lot. Oye = Listen. Unfortunately, Lexi is already good at pretending to be deaf.
