  It's been a while since I've updated. Lexie is a crawling machine!! She's almost 10 months and she loves to crawl - pull up to standing - and climb! We've been having a lot of fun with her. On Christmas eve we went to Knott's Berry Farm and rode three trains and Daddy won her an elmo. I wasn't as successful at winning anything. At her 9 month appt. she was 27.? inches and 17.? lbs.

  She's been doing well with her solid foods and this month I've started doing a little bit of EC'ing. That's elimination communication. Basically you say something when you notice them going to the bathroom - usually poos are easy to chatch. They assoiate going potty with the word (I say 'Lexie your going potty', something like that). Then I started putting her on her little pink potty periodically and would say 'Lexie do you have to go potty?' One day she went Pee 3 times and Poo once. Sometimes she doesn't go in her potty all day - just the diaper. She's still in diapers - but I'm cleaning less of them. I was so excited when she did her 1st poo in the potty that I took a picture! Tyler thought I was crazy.

Lexie has been rolling over from back to front a lot! She sort of gets stuck and doesn't realize that she knows how to roll over the other way too! She is better at the back to front roll.

She has started eating, or trying to. We are working on it.

She is a very smiley baby and loves to stand and look at herself in the mirror!

We are very happy!
