Alexa picked up on blowing kisses, so now she loves to blow kisses! Sometimes she forgets to touch her mouth and instead touches her head to blow the kisses!
Last night, Alexa started saying "Uh oh" with Daddy, so of course, now she is finding a reason, even creating reasons, to use her new expression!
Alexa is doing really well with telling us "thank you"- we just really started the other day teaching her how to sign it, helping her put her hand in the right spot and then asking her to tell us thank you.
Tim worked with her like crazy the other night when he was eating chips, so she was catching on pretty fast and we were cheering for her. She LOVES it when we cheer, clap and all that, especially when Daddy does it! She starts to clap and say "YAY!" and a big grin lights up her entire face!
Last night, I gave her some food and asked her, "What do you say?" And she signed "THANK YOU!" and tried to say it too!
She is using the signs "more" and "please" quite a bit, she loves to say "night night" and sign it. Alexa really has gotten the hang of telling people hi, waving, and telling us bye, she now says "Bye bye" with a Texas drawl! hehe it is cute! When she is pushing her stroller around the house, she starts to wave at me and say "BYE BYE!"
The other day at a picnic, there was cottonwood flying around, Alexa started saying "Bubble" and signing bubble! She thought they were bubbles, so I just encouraged her!
She has been having a tough week this week. Her 11th tooth is cutting in (the pointy one on the bottom right, between her molar and her other teeth, is it an incisor? not sure) and she is crazy fussy, whiny and downright mean at times. She is yelling at me, will NOT lay down for a diaper change or to get her clothes on, she is throwing things, hitting me and and JoElle when she gets really upset.
Alexa listens extremely well to Daddy, not so much to me. She still obeys quite well for a 1 yr old, but she is challenging me and testing me and discipline does not seem to be working, she laughs when she gets in trouble, she thinks it is funny and is playing games. She has become quite playful and is having a harder time being serious (sounds like the problem we have had with JoElle!)
