Walking on sunshine

and don't it feel good! So long sick house....Alexis, Vic and I are all back on track. Over the past two weeks, Alexis has visited the doctor's office six times, stayed overnight at the hospital, run a fever that spiked at 104 degrees, twisted and turned and moaned and groaned during nebulizer treatments, happily took her bubble gum flavored medicine for an ear infection, and endured more saline drops and nose wipes than any little girl should have to.


But, happier days are here again. Lexi is feeling good and walking and "talking" up a storm. She has become so verbal over the past few days. She fully believes she is having a conversation with us, and loves to point to an object, squeal with excitement then tell us what its name is (every once in a while she says the right word too!) She's also getting more confident walking all over the house - with her arms out in front of her, bracing for the inevitable fall (kinda like Frankenstein).

It's tiring to keep up with her, and we couldn't be happier. Welcome back ladybug! Below are pictures of her getting reacquainted with all her Christmas gifts:



Here she is on mommy's Xmas gift -
new (and fairly baby-proof) family room furniture!





She loves pushing her shopping cart from Nanny
and Grandpa around the basement





Daddy's effort putting the picnic playhouse
together wasn't in vain!











First time down the slide

I'm so glad you all are feeling better, especially the little one. There is nothing like being sick--but perhaps it makes all of us appreciate the healthy times! Lexi sure seems to be doing so!! Happy 2010!

I had no idea she had been so sick! So glad everyone is healthy now. Lexi gets even cuter and cuter (which I didn't think was possible!) ...and what a sweet personality. Love your new chairs too.
