The Amazing Lexi

Lexi can now climb all the way up the stairs in about a minute's time. She amazes us every day. She can pick Elmo and Mickey out of a line up of toys. She presses buttons on her musical toys until the song she prefers comes on and then she dances and smiles. She lights up when she sees someone she knows. She is all in all a pretty amazing little girl.

I feel like we are not taking enough pictures of her. Many, many of the pictures we take are blurry because she moves so much. In fact, she does not ever sit still. It's hard to explain, but she has to always be moving and exploring. Benji is not impressed with this new found movement. She'll be walking soon, before she's one, and then Benji will really have a problem on his paws.

Here are some pics from our recent trip to the westside of the state. We really miss our friends that live there. Lexi got to meet a 13 month old and a 9 month old. I think the girls really enjoyed each other's company. They were worn out way too quickly, and then the parents, who have been known to stay up until 3am, had to leave to get the kids into bed. We look forward to many more trips to see them.






We also got to spend some time with our cousin's family, who just moved from Michigan to Bellingham, WA. It was great to see them and get to know them all a bit better. They live in a beautiful area of the world. Lake view, trees, quiet. I thought we took more pictures while we were there, but again, they were all pretty blurry. Lexi loved her cousins though. It will be good to see them more often too!
