All About A

So, as you can tell, we've been going going going! We have not been home for a single weekend since the beginning of February and I'm pretty sure that we are going to be gone the next THREE weekends as well. Hopefully we will get some time at home soon because our poor neglected house needs LOTS of attention. In the meantime, Alexis has been growing by leaps and bounds!

One of our weekends we went to Louisiana to see a friend get married and she was gone for 5 way too long nights. She came back demanding to be taken outside every five minutes and she had learned to say NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, not just no! She was also on a Mimi/Grandma/PawPaw/Papa high and was throwing some major temper tantrums, so she spent quite a bit of time in time out the first few days back. She also was eating worse than before, so as soon as summer hits, she is enrolling into Mommy Boot Camp. And, if she doesn't eat it for dinner, guess what's she getting for breakfast and then for lunch if it's still there!!

I feel like she has regressed in her vocabulary since she has learned to sign. She no longer says thank you, which she said every time she received something, but on the up side she does use signs more; please, thank you (sometimes) and all done. I truly think she is just being stubborn. In the last two weeks she has learned to sing "e-i-e-i-o" so I know she can talk.

One last thing, she POOPED in the potty!! We have been lightly working on it but not pushing it, and she finally sat down forever yesterday morning and she wouldn't get up until she had gone! Who knew you could get so excited over poop and pee, but we did!!

She has learned to wave hi and bye and she can even say "Lamby" but most of the time she won't! On our way to San Antonio, we stopped at some bluebonnets. I haven't edited them yet and I wasn't too impressed with how they turned out, but they were pretty cute and she actually posed for me, which she never does!
She was so excited to go on vacation. She helped me pack all of her toys that she wanted to take to Florida and then she got in the bag herself! I guess she didn't want to walk the distance from my room to her room! So, this just shows how smart she is! She was refusing to eat her spaghetti and we were TRYING to go bite for bite; one bite spaghetti and one bite fruit. She only wanted the fruit! She totally understood what I was saying and would open her mouth until the fork came close enough to her lips where she would then shut it up tight! So, I finally said, if you don't eat, you aren't getting anything until breakfast and so she posed! I guess she thought if she could look cute for the camera (which wasn't even out when we were eating) that I wouldn't make her eat it. She was wrong, she threw a fit and went back to time out and received nothing for dinner but milk!
