Creeping closer to 2, big girl!
-You now say "I love you" to us, which sounds more like "lah lu".
-I taught you "Happy Birthday" before a friend's party the other day,
and now your favorite saying is "Happy DAY" with all the emphasis on day.
-Uh oh has been replaced by "oops".
-You are getting much better at saying your name. It went from "e" to "lesi...
preschool, here you come.
-Following in your mom's tradition of making lists, you now love to do roll call,
telling us exactly who is in the room, in the car, at home, etc. and often throwing in a few favorites like Nanny, Granpa, Matt, Cece and Unka.
(Sorry Wendy and Kate, but your names remain too hard right now!)
-You are beginning to string a few words together to make little sentences -
Mama shoes, more grapes please, etc.
-You have begun counting when we prompt you. 1, 2, 3
and then you often add in "go" or "jump" at the end.
-You are also starting to learn your colors and your A, B, Cs
(both your parents and Sesame Street must get credit here).
-You point out your pink shoes, your blue bucket, your white bow, red Elmo, a yellow balloon.
-When we ask you to point out A, B, C, D, and for some reason, O, you always get them right.
And you surprise us each day with a new one.
-You love to stand in between us and hold our hands while you walk.
First you take daddy's hand, and then you take mine before we can begin moving.
-You have started to memorize your favorite books. You come running up to us saying
"Brown Bear, Brown Bear...At me".
-You still love music. When I play your cds in the car, you begin singing the next song before it starts playing, and you apparently know the Train song "Hey Soul Sister" because you belted out the Hey intro yesterday.
-You give the best hugs, and imitating us, you now say "Awww" whenever you hug someone or something.
-Quite simply, you make us smile.
Happy 21 Months, Alexis Rose!

Hard to believe 24 months is right around the corner Alexis, you get cuter by the day and smarter too!
Love, Aunt Wendy
Hey...thanks for your note. All is well. Logan was a bit of handful the first few days but doing better now. Hunter has luckily been amazing but then again it is the first week. You'll have a two year old before you know it and while it is so fun and full of many laughs...there are new challenges too. None the less...we wouldn't change it for the world. Hope you are well.
