9 months

My Dear Lexi Kendyl,

You are officially 9 months. Where as the time gone? It seems like it was yesterday that you left the hospital and you were our little glow worm.

I don't have your exact weight and length but we'll know next month.

With each passing day, you are showing your little personality.Here are some highlights from this month

• You finally have teeth. You cut and show your two bottom teeth when you smile
• Food - You have started meats, yogurts,puffs, and cheese. You were not fond of the yogurt and cheese and the beginning, but you now look forward to them. Meat on the other hand... You took pretty well to the puffs, but had some trouble at the beginning.
• Handy Manny - You have begun to dance to the Handy Manny theme song. You bounce around when you hear the song. This is the song that Mommy will sing to while you eat your dinner.
• You are really starting to notice and sometimes mimic Jeffrey's behavior. I am convinced that you sometimes have shouting matches.
• While in the car, you wake each other up from naps and continually tap the other till s/he is awake.
• You have starting standing, holding on to furniture. You have yet to pull yourself up, but you like the new perspective.
• Swimming lessons - you and Jeffrey started them this month. You like the water and love splashing, but you don't like to be slashed. When it happens, you take it like a trooper!
• Crawling update- you are trying to crawl. You get in the position, but in fear of toppling or belly flopping you stop. I'm guessing in true Lexi fashion, when you're ready, you'll do it.

That's all for this month. We look forward to more of your kisses, smiles, and giggles!

All my love,
Mommy
