Happy Half Birthday Baby Girl!
I haven't done this in awhile, but I thought since it is her one and half year milestone, it was kind of fitting ... so here's what Alexis can do at one and a half:

  • Weights around 24 pounds (give or take - we had her weighed last time she had an ear infection)
  • Is right handed no doubt about it.
  • Can say "Mama" "Dada" "NO!" "Pup pup" "Yes" "Bubba" "Ucker" (translation - Tucker) "Night night", "Nana" (as in the person), "Nana" (as in the fruit), "Kaaaaa" (Coco her stuffy), "Essa" (Baby Tessa), "Ema" (Grandma), and "Papa"
  • Understands generally most of our commands - like if we say "go and get your shoe and sock" she will grab them.
  • Speaking of shoes ... she LOVES them and I fear has an addiction for them .. but not just shoes .. she loves slippers as well!
  • Does NOT like the vacuum. She is terrified of it and will point and insists that it goes away, back in the closet.
  • Loves her bath time and her bubble blowing
  • Has had an ear infection 5 times, and 2 colds since starting daycare in March.
  • Has 10 teeth 11 teeth (Just checked today - and what I thought was a cold starting, turns out to be teething ... oh the joys!)
  • Loves to play with her toys
  • Loves to play around with mommy and daddy on the floor
  • Isn't interested in t.v. at all ... unless its got some good music playing on it.
  • Loves to dance around ... which includes spinning around until she falls over.
  • Is a creature of habit- She loves her night time routine and things at night need to happen in the same order every.single.night.
  • Still sleeps in her crib and has yet to figure out how to get out of it - and yet she some how knows how to take all those little plug protectors out of the electrical sockets ... so I'm sure any day now we will wake up with her starring at us at the foot of the bed! 
  • Her favourite songs include: row row row your boat and ring around the rosy
So there's a little update on some of the things Alexis has accomplished or is still accomplishing. Love you so much baby girl!
