Lots To Be Thankful For

I have not posted anything in awhile, I have been majorly slacking these days.  I always feel like the holidays are so hectic but it is all worth it when you have a special reason to spend time with family and friends.  We were fortunate enough to have George's parents (YiaYia and Papou) in visiting us for the Thanksgiving Day holiday.

 Lexie is definitely loving the attention.  She is getting spoiled with early Christmas gifts from her Grandparents and she basically gets anything she wants.  I think we are definitely on our way to raising a little princess.  We had a wonderful and very small Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday, it was Lexie's first time eating turkey, stuffing, and her grandmother's lamb.  She loved it all.  I ran in the runLawrence 5K and it was my first time running in that particular event.  I absolutely loved it.  There were so many people that showed up to run with their families.  I am hoping that next year, we can all do it together as a family.  I also ran my fastest 5K to date so maybe that's why I loved it so much.  There is nothing better than the feeling of accomplishment to get your day started.  Anyway, it was a great time.

Last week Lexie turned 13 months old.  She is starting to talk a lot more although, I still can not make out what she is trying to tell me.  She is still very much a dare devil.  Her latest idea of fun is to get on the couch or our bed and to walk off of them.  Luckily someone is there each time to catch her.  She is also loving to climb on things right now.  She is perfecting the slide at the park.  She loves to push and pull all of her toys. There is no stopping her, she is still very busy and doesn't really like to watch cartoons.  We recently discovered that she will sit to watch Wheel of Fortune though.  Kind of funny I think!

Lexie recently received a birthday gift that she has taken a liking to...a chicken that you pull and it lays eggs.  At first she didn't know how to get the eggs out of it or how to pull it but now it is her little buddy that follows here everywhere.
