23 months

I don't have to look at the calendar to know that Lexi will be two in a month.  A brief rundown of daily life with her offers ample reminders of her age.


Lately she has done things like:
  • Stand ankle-deep IN the toilet
  • Cover herself with lotion
  • Draw on her hands and feet with red marker
  • Raid the chocolate chips
  • Unroll the toilet paper to the core
  • Undress six times a day
  • Want to help with everything, including scriptures and prayers
  • Chant "I do it myself."  "Yexi do it."  "Me!  Me!"  "I do it!"
  • Throw epic tantrums
  • Climb here, there, and everywhere with the help of a chair
This is all very normal two-year-old behavior, right?  She has started doing decidedly girlish things, as well, such as:
  • Dress up in hats, necklaces, and bracelets
  • Parade around in other people's shoes
  • Sing "Rock-a-bye Baby" to her dollies in the cradle
  • Feed the dollies in the high chair
  • Sing the ABC song and other fun tunes in the car
In some ways it is hard to believe that Lexi's second birthday is approaching...but in others, not so much.

Oh, she's so cute. (Iris has that same sweater, and Eve has it in pink! Yaaaaaaaay Target!)

I think the shoe thing must really be a girl thing. Both of my girl do it (still!) and Dev never cared.

sounds like she is right on track on all of her milestones and you are right on track with your awesome journal keeping. She will look back on this blog someday and be sooo glad you did it!!!

So very, very normal. At least she sounds a lot like Brielle :)
