10 Months Old!

Hoorrrayyy! Alexis is 10 months old and really coming along way! She is finally over the hump of her 6 week illness (RSV, ear infections, yuck!) I cannot believe in just two short months she will be 1 year old! I will never understand how they grow so quickly!

In the last month she has started to talk more, clap, scoot and even made it up on all fours yesterday (3.14.10). She is so close to getting up there more if only she could tuck her legs underneath her!

Let me tell you Alexis IS the perfect baby... she is the type of baby everyone wants to have. SO happy, SO easy, SO sweet... SO PERFECT! Even friends and family say they want her... she will sit forever just playing by herself. She is amazing! Jacob & Grace were good babies as well... but they had more "moments" than she has. She even does well with strangers... she doesn't care as long as Mommy isn't around. If Mommy comes by then she usually decides she wants me instead! Hey she knows where her "lunch" is!

Speaking of "lunch", as much as I don't want her to I think Lex is starting to self-wean. She is now given a bottle in the evening to help her sleep through the night. (which she is almost there 5 out of 7 nights we are sleeping 8 until 6:30am). She usually only take about 3-4 ounces, which isn't very much but she seems fine with it. She is still nursed throughout the day... not planning on giving that up fully yet. She LOVES to eat... for breakfast she usually has either oatmeal and fruit OR waffles/pancakes. Lunch is usually a fruit/vegetable and then some type of meat (bologna/hot dog)/ cheese. Dinner is whatever we are eating or a jar of something and a fruit/vegetable! All our meals are followed up with stars/puffs and/or yogurt melts/dried fruit.

She loves to dance, clap and play in general with her brudder/sister. She now says "DOG" and makes a cute little face (with tongue sticking out) for Abby! She loves Abby! Alexis also really enjoys walks and being outside. Someone once thought she was a doll... she was so relaxed when we were out and about. Lexie really loves her Bella day! She has so much fun playing with Bella and the two of them are so cute together!

Size wise... Alexis is still pretty tiny. She wears a size 1 shoe!!!!!! AND it is big on her! She also wears 9 month clothing BUT can still fit comfortably in 3-6 month stuff... and even wears a few 0-3 outfits! I weighed her at home... she weighs approximately 17.5 lbs.
