Exhausting her parents and a Doctor's visit

Going to church with Lexi has become exhausting! She has so much energy and wants to move around, take everything out of my purse, be picked up, get put down...it just goes on and on. When given the space, she can entertain herself quite nicely. Saturday afternoon, she happily moved around the living room amusing herself. Emptying things - like her toybox-seems to be a lot of fun as well as playing with Mom's keys (which we couldn't find this morning) and trying to eat the remote control.

Yesterday, we took her to a cardiologist to check on her heart murmur. When she was born, she had a small hole in her heart that was about 2mm long. We had it checked at 6 weeks and then had been advised to have it checked again at 1 year. She did very well at the doctor and managed to hold still for the EKG and the ultrasound. You could tell she was thinking 'what is this strange woman doing??' The doctor said that she could still hear the murmur, but had a very hard time finding it on the ultrasound. So it is now very, very tiny and will probably close up naturally as she gains weight (though don't ask me how that fits in). Before she goes to pre-school, we should have it checked again just to see.
