17 Months Old

Where has the time gone? My baby has

her first 4 Wheeler and is old enough

to drive it all by herself.

It's scary for me to think and say this, but Alexa

has absolutely no fear these days. In her eyes,

the sky is the limit. What is amazing to me is how

much she learns each day.

Her vocabulary

increases daily as she repeats things we say and

is putting 2 and 3 words together now.

She is very determined.

When she wants something,

she will go to the extreme to figure out

how to get it or make it work.

She is the light of our lives!

Obsessed with Slides

We don't have our real play-set just yet.

I am still trying to design the one I want as the

last quote I received was for over $10,000.

Needless to say, I was told to go back to the

drawing board. I am trying to make some

decisions quickly though, because this thing

below, isn't going to cut it much longer.

"Here I come Mommy."

"One, two, threeeeee."

Tractor Ride

Going outside these days, results in a walk

to the shed, lots of banging on the shed door, and

screaming "cactor"... a.k.a. tractor.

Alexa quickly figured out that she has to "try" and

lift the handle to open the door.

And then she climbs aboard.

With the nicer weather these days, the tractor has

had many miles around the driveway!

When mommy has had enough, I tell Alexa that

the tractor is all done. So Alexa puts her hands

up and says "all done, bye bye cactor"

with lots of waving.
