Time just keeps flying by. Lexi is 13 months now! She had some really big milestones this month. Lexi is walking!!! Wow!! She just started about a week and a half ago and she's getting so good! When she started out, she'd hold on to the couch and then take about 3 or 4 running steps towards me and then dive into my arms. She's working on slowing her steps down and is really getting good at balancing. Sometimes she'll stand up, take a tiny step, and then smile at me. Like she's saying "Did you see that, mom?!" Love that girl! I'm so proud of her!!
This girl loves to climb! If something is in her way, she climbs over it. She loves to climb over Colby-Jack especially! He's been really good with her. He lets her do a lot to him without getting grumpy. She pulls his fur (we work constantly on "gentle touches"), steps on him and over him, and he lays there and takes it. He's a good pup.
Lexi is obsessed with books! She's constantly bringing me books to read to her and flipping though the pages.
She is also walking backwards with her puppy walker. She'll push it forward into the coffee table or something, get stuck, and normally she'd say "Ah!" to KJ or I to get her turned back around. But now she's doing some problem solving on her own. She'll back the puppy up and try to steer around the table.
This pic pretty much sums up our attempt at a "photo Shoot" this month! She never sits still any more!
A few other things Lexi is doing, she can put her little people in their chairs. She can press the button on Violet's belly to make her talk. She's also working on her shape sorter. At Christmas time she got a FP shape sorter and we've found it to be pretty worthless. She figured out right a way that if you take to top off you can put the shapes in with out having to put them through the holes. What a dumb design! I was able to find a different one on Amazon in the "old school" design that doesn't come apart easily. I got her the Green Toys Shape Sorter. It's made 100% from recycled milk jugs, so you can feel good about it's environmental impact, or whatever. Lexi gets frustrated easily trying to get the shapes in, but we're working on it.
13 Months, what what!!
Lots of Love,
KJsbabe
