Lexie Lou... at 23 Months!

It seems so hard to wrap my head around the fact our BABY girl will be 2 next month! Each of our three have been so special to us, little miracles... and we treasure every day we have with them. Alexis is such a little spunky girl... she has attitude, the will to do anything and everything, and yet is the most loveable, sweetest thing!

Lex can't get enough of her "Bobby's" aka baby dolls... she loves them. She always wants to push them around, carry them and take them into bed with her. She is so girly... loves phones, purses, shoes, and accessories! She is our little diva... she learns alot of that from her big sis.

Alexis' favorite things to do are play with babies (real or fake), imitate her siblings, play with Abby, eat (anything!), give kisses (she can't go to bed without kissing everyone!), brush her teeth, watch Minnie/Mickey and gang, watch the princesses, try on sunglasses, and jump on the bed, dress up, buckle/zip (she can actually buckle into her highchair/stroller already). NO one can leave without taking her... that really upsets her. She always wants to be on the go... loves being outside, playing with friends, or just going!

Her fears to date are fuzzies and spiders... hmmm... not only does she look like Mommy, but we have similar phobias! She also poses with her chin down, walks with a bounce in her step and has similar mannerisms as Momma too!

Alexis has an amazing vocabulary and each day we laugh at how much more she says.... she says it all. She is using small sentences now as well (Zip it, Go Outside, I want it, etc). She asks WHY all the time! She really will repeat anything that is said to her... I'm so proud of her.

Lex loves to eat... she loves "fries", M's, pizza, soup, mac & cheese, and fruit snacks! She also loves her Milky! She is a fantastic eater... we are so lucky our kids like to eat! :) Alexis loves sweets but also likes the good stuff, which makes Mom & Dad very happy! Blueberries are her favorite fruit... she could eat a pint if we let her. Can't wait till summer time with lots of fresh fruits to feed baby girl!

In the last month we have spotted her bottom two molars.... so now she is just waiting on the top two. She appears to be sucking on her fingers, so I'm guessing they are on their way.

Grace is FOUR!

I look at my sweet baby girl and can't believe she is four.... how did this happen?
Grace is the sweetest angel.... I couldn't have wished for a more special daughter. So loving, sweet, caring and kind. She is truly beautiful inside & out.

Grace has such a love for her siblings and family. She is so motherly and loves taking care of those she loves. She makes a great friend... which makes me so happy & proud.

Grace loves playing outside, playing dolls, shopping, eating out, and just doing whatever makes anyone else happy. She likes riding her bike, going to school, doing hair, and helping out whenever she can. She loves to eat pizza, mac & cheese, lemonade, spaghetti, milk, slurpees, and chips. She has never been a huge eater of sweets and to this day doesn't care for them so much. She continues to learn and grow each day.... she is recognizing most letters and sounds in the alphabet, can count to 13, loves to color and make art projects, she also knows her colors (has for a while), and is big into fashion and painted nails. She also knows what she wants in regards to hair styles. She has an opinion and uses it! She loves to wear her hair plain... and also let me know that she doesn't care for pig tails any more. :( Grace loves playing with her best buds Rylie & Ema. She always is talking about them. She also enjoys Dance (tap & ballet with Rylie) and Cheer (with Ava & Brianna). She doesn't quite have her coordination down... and make me chuckle at how clumsy she can be. "Grace" falls over more than any girl I know.

For Gracie's fourth birthday we had a great day. We had the day off for spring break... so we went to Rochester Play in the morning with our family & Betts, Mimi & Cam. We played there till lunch and then headed over to Red Robin. Grace had mac & cheese... yum! For dinner we had everyone over (Doe, Betts, Pa, Mimi, Cam, Bella, Aunt Cathy, Gigi) and had pizza and cake. She had a very special day celebrating her four years with us. We love you Grace and can't wait to watch you grow... just don't grow too fast! :)
