Dirty!

Lexi knows when things are dirty. If her hands are dirty, she will say 'dirty' and hold them out to you. If she sees something on the table, she says 'dirty' and points at it. On Sunday we were at a friend's house and Lexi saw that the one coffee table (in the corner) was dirty. So of course, she declared it! Hope she didn't embarress them too much.

Another tooth??

I think Lexi might be getting another tooth..periods of unexplained crabbiness, more drool than usual, runny nose. I’ll keep you posted! (She only has 7 at the moment, so there’s lots more to come.)

Behavior Changing?

I wonder if Stephen’s absence is effecting Lexi’s behavior. The last couple of days several times when I have done something that has made her mad, she has started calling for Daddy. Like “I’m mad at you, Mom, but Daddy will come rescue me.” And I think she has been calling Jane ‘Mommie’ for the same reasons. In the past, Lexi was always happy to see me when I came home from work. Now, Jane goes to change her clothes and Lexi starts running after her and calling ‘Mommie’. I pick her up but she still struggles for Jane – all the while, calling my name. Makes me a feel a little weird. ;).

Lexi’s vocabulary is increasing – or at least her ability to mimic words quite clearly. She is finally saying Jane’s name – she hadn’t really called her anything before. So I think I will have to watch what I say – to make sure she isn’t picking up the wrong things!
