Peanut.

Miss Lexa. The older she gets the more apparent her 'peanutness' becomes. Of course she is Mommy's child so undoubtedly nobody expected her to be 6 ft. tall! Or much over 5 ft. for that matter.



Bean had her 9-month checkup at the Dr. yesterday. She weighed in at a whopping 17.1 lbs (22nd percentile) and 26.5 inches long (18th percentile)! She is a tiny little bundle of personality...and Mommy really does love her size. What Lexa lacks in height she makes up for in hair!! That seems to be a common theme among Mommy and Daddy's offspring....

The rest of Lexa's checkup was great. No shots this visit...except for her second dose of the flu vaccine. The Dr. thought she may take a few steps soon. Say it ain't so!!
Actually Mommy isn't so sure....while Lexa does love to be on her feet and has no fear, she is still pretty unsteady. Only time will tell but Mommy is putting in a wish for as close to March as possible!

Mommy thought since this is the season of giving she would throw out a couple of random pictures for your viewing pleasure.....

Chuck and Denise sent Jacer and Lexa some p.j.'s for Christmas. Mommy wasn't thinking and let them see the package. Needless to say, they opened their gift a little early. Aren't they too cute!!



P.S. on the personalization...somebody besides Mommy needs to talk some sense into that boy. Most people call him 'Jacer' now and he is convinced his name is spelled J-A-C-E-R. Mommy has tried explain that there is no /r/ but he is a stubborn one!

Mommy took this random shot of herself and Lexa the other night....it just tickled Mommy how that sweet little girl was looking at her



Mommy's experiment with cake pops...she had a very willing taste tester.



They passed the test!
