We haven't been very good about blogging regularly lately.
Or taking lots of photos.
Since this is where Lexi's baby book is basically housed, I wanted to update on a few things.
Lexi went to the dentist for the first time. The day care had a form we needed to complete so off we went. She was excited about going and we talked about opening her mouth to say 'ahh.' Still excited leading up to the door but once in the office, there was a complete meltdown. We sat in the patient chair waiting for the dentist with Lexi on my lap. There was a tv that they tuned to cartoons so the wait wasn't bad, but when the dentist appeared, there was no 'aahing' to be done. We finally got her to open her mouth so the dentist could count her teeth at least and look for dark spots of which he found none. And that was enough for the form to be filled, so we called it quits. Her canines are finally coming in though aren't all the way there yet and we haven't seen any sign of the molars. Soon she will have no gaps in her smile.
Lexi likes to go to the library and pick out books - and play on the kids computer which has learning games. She hasn't quite figured out how to move the mouse around to click on things but like the 'pidu' anyway.
Stephen took the back of off one of the toilets to see if he could fix it and while he is still working on it, the lid remains off. Lexi is enjoying looking into the back of the toilet. Too bad that she is not interested in sitting on the toilet. They say she is making great strides in this department at day care where they have started to have her wear underwear but at home we have had no action at all. We did buy some more stools for all of the potties so I have gotten her to sit on the toilet in the last day but it is usually for all of 10 seconds.
Fish sticks are her favorite food for the moment. She is 'off' of yogurt and peanut butter. Lexi's knows which restaurants serve ice cream (McD's, Wendy's) and when we pass them, that is what she says.
Her vocabulary is pretty impressive we think so we still don't understand some words. She is getting grammer down correctly. By the end of next week we will know where she will be going to preschool in the fall. She likes day care a lot - I hope she will transition ok. She tells stories or jokes that often make no sense but she laughs anyway.
She got a tricycle for Easter from Auntie Lora and is slowly getting the hang of the pedals. It's a bit of a stretch for her legs still but give her anouther 2 inches and she should have no problem keeping her feet on the pedals.
That's it for now. She continues to delight - and frustrate - us!
