Happy 18 Months Lexa!

Lexa turned 1 1/2 yesterday! She has the body of a 1 year old and the spirit of a 16 year old! She is quite the little lady and Mommy and Daddy couldn't be more proud of her.

Lexa, at 18 months you:

*wear a size 4 diaper and a size 5 shoe. Clothes are typically 12 or 18 months.

*are small. Mommy is unsure of your exact stats as you go to the doctor in a few weeks. Her best guess is somewhere around 21 lbs and 31 inches tall (the height may be a bit of a stretch).

*love your brother and Ozzy. Ozzy was your first word and since then you haven't stopped saying it over and over. And over.

*your favorite toys are dolls. You feed them, change their diaper, and just rock them. You have turned into such a mother hen. Except when you carry them around by their hair but you get a pass on that one since you are only 1.

*are a girly girl through and through. You want to wear dresses and sparkly shoes and would let Mommy paint your nails every day if she had the patience. The one exception is that hair. That hair Mommy would love nothing more than to get her hands on is off limits. It is a struggle to get 1 or 2 piggies in every day.

*talk a lot. You have tons of words and are just starting to combine them.

*have come out of your shell quite a bit lately. Occasionally it takes you a few minutes to warm up but then you tend to enjoy people watching you. You know just when to flash your scrunched up smile to get what you want.

*go to Tricia's during the day and love every minute of it. You talk about baby Lilly and Ben all the time.

*your favorite foods are fruits. You aren't into the sweets like your brother and Mommy which is such a shocker. You would eat raspberries all day if someone would let you. You also love to drink milk. Actually you will drink anything. And fast. Mommy often comments how much fun you will be in college.

*are a little snuggler. You have your share of temper tantrums (and you typically wait for a busy aisle in Target to show them) but you are also a sweet little thing. You will sit on Mommy or Daddy's lap and just let them hold you. You are one of a kind and are loved very much!

Happy 1/2 Birthday Bean!
