I'm a big girl now!

Recently we have noticed that Alex hates sitting in her highschair for very long. She will start out for a few minutes eating just fine, but after a while she will start to whine or cry, acting like she isnt hungry anymore. So we would then get her out of the highchair. Next thing you know she is standing at our feet while we are eating begging for food. So I asked the ladies at daycare how she does eating and of course, she is an angel. She eats with all the big kids sitting at the table, cleans her plate and goes off playing after she is done. We thought that maybe she wants to sit with us at the table too. So we bought her a booster seat, sat her at the table, and she finished her dinner, got down and went off to play. Now Im sad. Our lil girl is getting soo big. And watching her eat at the table with us brought tears to my eyes. But if she feels she is ready to do something, then we give it a go and see how well it takes off.

Alex is also starting to understand more and more of our conversations. I can ask her to pick up something and hand it to me or daddy and she will. She knows how to throw away trash, sweep with a broom, put away toys, put on lotion, count to three, say "Ready, Set, Go", understand "close the door", goes straight to her room when we tell her its time to change her diaper or clothes, understand "Go sit down" and also goes right to her bathroom when its time for a bath. She says "Cheese" and puts on a huge grin. She has also found her eyebrows and walks around with the "evil eye". It is soo cute but I just cant seem to catch it fast enough with the camera. She loves to dance as well. But she doesnt bounce around. She just stands there and moves her hips from side to side. Its adorable. She also loves to do somersaults. She will get into position standing with head touching the ground and waits for someone to push her over.
Its absolutely crazy how quickly she has caught onto the smallest things.




















Alex started to give the "Evil Eye" but it turned into a smile.
