Hotel living is the life

It's day four of the new year and I've spent every one in a hotel. And come Tuesday night, it's back to hotel living for me. Some man called handy is coming to remove mold from mommy and daddy's bedroom. It's really gross stuff, kinda like boogers stuck in your nose, but the mold is stuck in the wall. We don't know how long we'll be at the hotel and that's fine with me. I love riding on the fun carts they have.

Resolution ready

Happy New Year!!! In this new year, I resolve to cook more in my kitchen, to play with my cousins more, to look at mommy and smile when she wants to take my photo and figure out how to eat yogurt being a little less messy. Phew... That's a lot to resolve.

My cousins and aunt Heidi are so silly. 

Feeding myself and the table. 

NYE party. No photos please. 

Cooking some yummy corn.

Do you like butter on your corn? 

Incommunicado

I've been talking a lot more lately and really trying to have conversations with people, but when I do, they don't seem to make any sense. I'll say "why don't you come over here and play with my cars," and mommy says back, "Lexi, are you ready for a bath?" Um, no, mommy, I want to play with my cars. Or at school I'll say to my teachers, "I want to go downstairs," and they sing back some song that has nothing to do with going downstairs. It's so frustrating. People do understand a few things I say, like "up" and "more" and "hi" so I don't get why they don't understand everything I say. It makes me so sad that I throw myself on the ground and kick my arms and legs a lot.  

Why don't you understand what I'm saying?

Flying sidewalk

I fell today and scraped up my face. One minute I was running and the next I was lying face down on the sidewalk. Now, a few hours later, I'm OK. I just hope we can put off my passport photo shoot until I heal.

This is my better side, now.
How long until my scraped nose heals?

Mr. Sandman cometh

I've been having some trouble sleeping lately. Sometimes it's just trouble falling asleep and other times it is trouble staying asleep. Sometimes I have these bad dreams that I kinda wake up from. Mommy tells me she finds me standing up in my crib crying while I'm sleeping. It's kind of weird because I never remember them. All I know is when I don't sleep mommy and daddy get pretty grumpy. Daddy starts using all these words that mommy says not to use so I don't hear them. (I do hear them though. He really likes one that starts with "sh.") I need one of those magical butterflies I see on TV that helps people sleep. Does anybody have one I can borrow?

For some reason, I now
hold my head when I sleep. 

Ice adventure

My Hanukkah gift today was going to see Disney on Ice. At first I was a little scared and didn't want to let go of mommy at all. I had no idea where we were and people in costumes were moving so quickly all around us. After a little bit, I got into it. It helped having my buddy David there with me. We held hands and he shared his popcorn with me. My favorite parts of the show were when this girl danced with all her fishy friends and when a horsey and piggy came out with a bunch of other really, really big toys. It was also really fun when David and I ran around the stadium screaming and laughing when the show was over. :)



Where did all the skaters
go? Is the show over? 

So mesmerized I didn't know
 my photo was being taken.

Disney on Ice crew. Always a fun
time with David and Bonnie. 

Present ADD

I haven't written in days because all I can do is play with all my new toys. I just run back and forth between all of them all night long. There's this cool racetrack that these cars go down and around. There's an Elmo doll that talks to me. There's a bunch of puzzles with pieces I love tossing all over the place. There's this big doll who's a little scary but I let her sit at my table with me anyway. There's bowling pins and even a cell phone! There's just so many new things I don't know what to play with first, so I just run around playing with everything. By the time I'm done you can't see the rug anymore it is so covered in toys. Oh and I also have these cars that have little people in them and they make noise. It's all just so fun. Hanukkah is the best...and it's not over yet.
