We've Got It Now

Lexie had her worse day on Thursday. She couldn't keep her food down and she was just miserable, then everything turned around and Eric thought that was the end of it because by the afternoon, her coughing stopped and she was eating again, but on Friday her congestion was back. She hates when we use the bulb to suck out the hanabata, but it's the only way she can breathe.

Now after trying to keep ourselves healthy, it looks like Eric and I have caught her cold. So far, it doesn't look like we'll have a very fun 1st Christmas. We're still hoping we get our Christmas wish and all of us are healthy when we wake up on Christmas morning.

I think Lexie handles her sickness better than we do. She still laughs and smiles even though it causes her to cough. Being ill, hasn't slowed her down. She is now standing every chance she gets. She can go from sitting to standing and will balance unassisted for about 5 seconds. She will pull herself up with only one hand and hold on with only one hand.



Lexie has so many toys to play with, but her favorite ones belong to Maxx and Gohan. She loves to chase after the ball when Eric plays with Maxx. She also knows where we put their toys and will crawl to their basket and take out the toys. We tell her "no" and she'll stop but as soon as we look the other way, her hand is in the basket.



She's also not afraid of Gohan. He'll be chewing on his bone and she'll go right up to him and try to take it away. He'll growl at her, but it doesn't scare her and sometimes she'll just lie on top of him until he gives up and walks away.



We've also been trying to teach Lexie to wave. She's finally figured out how to open and close her fingers and will say "hi" and "bye".
