We started out the month down in Utah on New Years day, we didn't get to stay too long since your dad had school the following day but we were able to have lunch with my family before we headed home. Sundays have gotten a little harder now that we have 9 am church and your nap is at 10 am. But your dad and I have found ways to make it work out. This month our church got a new Prophet because President Monson passed away. We were lucky enough to be able to listen to a special broadcast announcing the new Prophet this month, I am excited for President Nelson and know that he will be a wonderful prophet.
You were able to come with me to my friend Sammi's baby shower, it was so fun to spend some time with friends that I haven't seen very much since leaving my last job. Life gets pretty crazy around here but it's always a fun time when we are able to get together and catch up. You did such a great job, you loved playing on the gym floor with the other little kids and all the yummy food!
No Dr. appointments again this month thankfully you haven't caught any of the yucky colds or flu bug! But on one of our many visits to Costco this month I had your dad weigh you and you are 19 lbs. 4 oz. You have tried some new foods this month, some of your favorites include quesadillas, marshmallows, cucumber and sometimes cottage cheese. You really aren't too picky of an eater but occasionally you won't want to eat what we are having. Your two front teeth came in this month, luckily they were one right after another so you didn't have to wait too long or have too much pain. There are two more that look like they are trying to come in but we probably won't see them until February. You have mastered blowing kisses, whenever you see Daddy put on his coat you automatically start to blow him kisses because you know that he is about to leave, its cute but also a little sad.
You have really started jabbering more this month and finally started to say dad more often! That made your dad so happy, he says you can have anything you want as long as you keep saying dadda or daddy! Haha! You still really like to dance, and you will usually start dancing right away when we play music, sometimes you will be shy if people are around but mostly we are guaranteed dance moves from you. :) I have started to do your hair occasionally in either pigtails or a little side or top ponytail. You look so cute and grown up! Your little personality is showing more and more each day, you do the cutest little faces sometimes it just cracks us up! My favorite is when you are excited about something and you will scrunch up your little nose and do a cheesy grin that shows your teeth. Its so funny! You have started to not like certain noises, lately the blender, vacuum and blow dryer have really bothered you. One day I was vacuuming before your dad had to go to work and you pulled the funniest face, luckily I was able to get it on camera! :) YOU HAVE STARTED TAKING STEPS! You aren't full on walking just yet but you get braver and braver everyday. Mostly I can get you to walk to me if I have food or something you want. On January 29 I was able to catch you walking towards the recliner! You even stopped and crouched down and then stood back up and kept going! Lexi you are getting so so big! It's hard to imagine that on February 16th you will be One years old! It makes me sad but I am also excited to see you continue to grow and learn, we sure love you and are so happy to have you in our family! You bring your dad and I so much joy daily!
*update: you started walking January 31st, you are still cautious about it but you do a fair amount of walking and crawling now.
