On the road again

We're going on a trip today back to New Jersey (remember, that state next to New York). One of my cousins is having a Bar Mitzvah. Daddy tells me that is "when a boy becomes a man." I'm not sure what that means, but I'm excited for the music and dancing. I got a great new dress I can't wait to wear and SHOES—my first pair of shoes.

I'm all packed and ready to go.

What’s on the bus?

My latest fascination is with the Wheels on the Bus song. It’s so catchy. At school we sing about the wheels and the wipers and the driver. At home, mommy likes to make stuff up. Tonight on the bus there were book bags that went “flop flop flop,” bugs that went “buzz, buzz, buzz” and other kids that went “Lexi sit with me, Lexi sit with me, Lexi sit with me.” Mommy’s singing is pretty horrible. She seems to make up lots of words to all different songs all the time. (Or at least that is what daddy tells me). But, I don’t want mommy to feel bad so I just smile and giggle when she sings to me. I wonder what will be on the bus tomorrow?

Selfie Sunday 15

Thanks for the new hat, Chris. Just in time for another week of snow.

Getting cut off

Mommy and me were strolling down Newbury Street today after having brunch with some friends and I nearly got knocked over. This man stumbled into the stroller and still kept trying to keep moving and almost took me down. It was a little scary. Mommy said it was because the man had drunk too much. Good thing mommy and daddy cut me off after five bottles a day!

Piano promotion

I’m so good at playing the piano in my crib that I got upgraded. I now have this bouncy toy and when I kick my feet on the piano keys it plays all different types of music and lights up. There are also keys I can play with my hands. It’s so much fun. Whenever I’m in it and I can’t stop smiling.

 

Lady Lincoln

Today is another holiday, President’s Day. It’s a day when we celebrate former US presidents. Mommy dressed me up as President Lincoln. What do you think? Did I pull it off? The beard was pretty itchy. Mommy said it was very fitting because I was almost named Lincoln. When mommy and daddy were deciding what to name me, their top choices were Lexi, Lincoln or Lexington. Whew…good thing I got Lexi!

He-he. I have a beard like daddy.

What's a chin curtain?

Snowy Selfie Sunday

I got to play in the snow today. Well, I don’t know if it qualifies as playing. I couldn’t really move my arms or legs in my snowsuit. It was still fun!

I want to eat the snow. It looks yummy.

I can't move my arms or legs, but I am warm!

Be my valentine

Today is another holiday—Valentine’s Day. (So yes, mommy dressed me up again.) This holiday is all about mushy, gushy love. I sure hope my day care crush Neve asks me to be his valentine. (Daddy is my backup.) I’ve been planning my outfit all week. I got these new red skinny jeans and this top with lots of red hearts. And, since it has been snowing so much, I think I may also wear these sparkly black Uggs my friend Yael gave me. Do you think Neve will think I’m trying too hard? I saw some of the older kids making Valentine’s Day cards the other day. I wonder if he made one for me. I’m so excited; I can barely wait to get to day care. Get up already mommy…I’m ready to get dressed and get going! 

Snow trekkers

It took more than 30 minutes to stroll home from day care today. It was snowing and sleeting and raining. It was crazy. I was all warm and dry in the stroller with my plastic cover. Poor mommy was drenched by the time we got home. The stroller kept getting stuck in all the slushy snow, but lots of people kept helping to lift up the tires and get us to clearer pathways. Thanks neighbors! I can’t wait to go out and play in the snow. We tried on my snow suit, but it was too dark to go out and play. I’ve been promised I can play in the snow this weekend. 

Umm..what happened to my feet?

Hey doc!

I had my four-month check up today. I now weigh 16 pounds, 3 ounces and I’m 26 inches long. I’m in the 90^th percentile and have a perfect height-to-weight ratio. I got a bunch more shots today and more Band-Aids. I even managed not to pee on the scale like I normally do. Mommy was so proud.

On the scale at the doctor's office.

Busy bee

My schedule sure is demanding. Between spending most of my day at day care playing with puppets, reading books, sitting in the swing, bopping in the bouncer and flirting with all the boys, and then coming home and mommy and daddy wanting me to constantly practice rolling over or trying to get me to crawl, I’m just exhausted. Add in staying up to watch the Olympics these last few nights, it’s no wonder I haven’t had time to post and I’m pooped!

I usually catch up on my sleep on the weekends, but we were traveling to New Jersey (that’s a state next to New York) this weekend for cousin Rachael’s wedding. On the drive down, I entertained myself having staring contests with my toy turtle, Tammy. Tammy kept winning. She just never seems to blink. I didn’t actually get to go to the wedding, instead aunt Heidi came to the hotel to play with me. We had so much fun. I love her a lot, even if she makes fun of my clothes that aren’t from Denny’s.

One of my cousins is having his Bar Mitzvah in a few weeks. At first I heard my cousins Tama, Sydney and Max weren’t going and I planned to publicly shame them here on my blog, hoping they would feel bad and decide to show up. Guess what? All I had to do was send them a picture of me holding my breath saying I wouldn’t let it go until they came and now they are coming! Who is all mighty and powerful? Me! J  I’m looking forward to meeting all my other cousins at the party. I wonder what I'm going to wear?

How's this for a Denny's outfit aunt Heidi?

I know, I know - and a Selfie Sunday

I know, I've been delinquent (that means bad) at posting lately, but I've just been so busy doing so many things. I'm traveling right now in New Jersey, and while I have tiny fingers, I hate typing on mommy's cell phone so you're going to have to wait until I get home later today and can get on a laptop to read about my adventures. Here is a photo aunt Heidi took of me last night to hold you over.  :)

Thanks for hanging out with me aunt Heidi.

Going for gold

Who is ready for the Olympics? Me!

Snowed In

It snowed and snowed and snowed all day today. I really loved looking out the window and seeing the white stuff cover everything. It was mesmerizing. I wonder how long everything will stay white and pretty like this. The one bad thing about snow is that we have to stay inside all day. As much as mommy and daddy tried to entertain me, I did miss going to day care today (and I think they missed me going.) I missed day care mainly because yesterday we had a puppet show and I got to try one of the toys the bigger kids use. They call it the bouncer and it was A-W-E-S-O-M-E. I got to move and bop all around and there were all these different things that I could touch and play with on the bouncer. I couldn’t wait to go back today and try it again. Hopefully it will stop snowing so I can go back to day care tomorrow.  

We tried out a new toy at home today.

Whoa, this is fun! 

Shake your booty

I got a few requests to see my dance moves, so here you go. In fairness, I was a little tired when we shot this video. Mommy and daddy dragged me around to a ton of stores all day again. We were in the car, out of the car. In the car, out of the car. It was exhausting! We also strolled around the mall for a bit. Have you ever noticed how almost every store has its own unique smell? A lot of them are overpowering (that means really strong). I nearly passed out between the combination of Lush and Abercrombie. Those stores make my poopy diapers smell good!

Dance Party

Mommy and me had a dance party this morning. I absolutely love FUN. I couldn’t stop dancing and smiling to their song “Some Nights.” I also like Beyonce, but old-school Beyonce, not the new XO song. I kind of like Rihanna, but not when she is rapping. I also really love Billy Joel. I heard Daddy say Billy is coming to Boston this summer. Do you think daddy will let me go to my first live concert? If not, maybe Wayne the Music Man and Billy are friends and Billy will come to day care to sing for me and my friends. I can even lend him my piano. 

If I give you a big hug can I
go to the concert? Pretty please?
