Alexis 17 Months

Monday, June 6th, Alexis will be 17 months old.  I took a few pictures of her yesterday afternoon in the hay field in front of our house.

Alexis at 17 Months

Favorite Foods: fruit: watermelon, apples, raisins, and bananas/veggies: green beans, peas, mashed potatoes, brown rice, fried squash/ drink: white milk, grape juice, water/ RITZ crackers, goldfish crackers, cookie crisp cereal, and ANYthing that is SWEET :0)

Favorite Book: feel and see books, especially ones with animals

Favorite TV show: she doesn't watch much TV yet, but loves to dance to the theme songs; however her favorite theme song is to the Disney Jr. show "Goldie and Bear".

Favorite Animal: she loves all animals; real or stuffed, especially cats and horses (which we have plenty of around here :0)

Favorite Thing to Play: she loves to pretend to cook, read books, baby dolls, and anything that Madalyn is playing with.

Words: she doesn't jabber as much as Madalyn, but she does a lot of squealing when she's happy, sad, or upset.  She says bye-bye, mama, dada, Bella, dog, woof, duck, Meme, Nana, Mad-for Madalyn, uh-oh, and will say other words but those are the most frequent ones.  Her favorite word is bye-bye and when you answer the phone she will start yelling "bye-bye". When it's time to leave someone's house, she makes sure to tell everyone "bye-bye" and waves to them.

She Loves: her bath time and playing in the water, she likes to play outside in the sand and slide, she likes to ride on the golf cart

She understands everything you tell her to do and she minds very well.

She is still a great sleeper and wakes up happy every morning.  

She is a very loving child and loves to gives hugs and kisses. Yesterday, Madalyn was crying and upset about something and Alexis went and got a towel from the bathroom and came over to Madalyn and started to wipe her tears. SO Sweet...melts my heart!

She is very observant and doesn't miss anything! 

Check out our little friend in the picture...I didn't know this was in the picture til I was looking at them on the computer. What a cute find! It was have been perfect if the dragonfly was either on the other side of her or if she was actually looking at it.

Here's a closer look...

Alexis has all these curls at the back of her head..I love how her hair curls up! I hope it will stay.
