Nothing Gets Her Down!

Lexie visited the cardiologist today. Thank goodness for Barney because he was able to keep her in a trance while she was attached to wires that listened to her heart. She didn't do so well during the ultrasound and then when she had to be strapped to a torture device to take a chest x-ray. The tests found that she still has an opening in her heart and after our next appointment in a few months, her doctor will determine when Lexie has to have the surgery to close it up. Luckily it's an outpatient procedure, so she won't have to stay in the hospital. Except for this minor problem, Lexie is a healthy little girl who doesn't know there's anything that's supposed to be slowing her down.

Lexie continues to make us so proud of her. We always feared taking her to restaurants because we've sat by families with kids. We have seen parents leave the table with a crying child or we hear lots of yelling and screaming which kind of causes everyone to lose their appetites. Lexie has been pretty good so far (knock on wood). She sits at the table and is happy to feed herself and loves to people watch which keeps her occupied so mom and dad can sneak in a few bites. She even sat on a booster seat that had no straps, kind of scary since I thought she would slip under the table.
Lexie's bucket swing came in the mail and boy, did she love it!
Aunty Yvette and Taryn came for a visit. Lexie loved having Taryn push her on the swing.
Taryn tried to swing with Lexie. Sorry, ignore the pooping dog in the background!
Lexie loved playing with Taryn.

Daddy has a monkey on his back and he wouldn't have it any other way!
