On Saturday Stacy, Jaden and Kysa came down for Lexi's party. Stacy and I worked all day making the girls birthday cakes. Kysa's birthday was Friday and Stacy wanted to use my decorating supplies to make a cool cake for Kysa. Stacy and I worked really hard on their cakes and they turned out pretty cute. I made the cutest little frog cake for Lexi since she loves her "froggie" and Stacy did a 3D bear for Kysa. Lexi had a hard day though since she was pretty sick. Lexi had a very long nap and when she woke up she was lots happier and the party was fun. My parents got Lexi a bike or a "bicycle" as Lexi would say, and loved it. She can't reach the pedals very well so she just likes to sit on it and move the handle bars back and forth. Hopefully when it gets warmer Jaron can take her outside on it. We got her some other cute little things for her birthday. Jaron also got her two roses since she turned two. We started a little tradition last year when he bought her one rose and will buy her as many roses as she is old each year. My brother Tyler, who is on a mission, sent Lexi and Kysa little Disney dolls for their birthday too. Lexi loved it especially since it was "Rella" (Cinderella) as Lexi says!
Lexi is definitely a two year old now. The tantrums have definitely started but she is still a sweetheart. She always gives us hugs and kisses and says "Love yer guts" and "Love you too". She is quite the jabber box and most of the time I know what she says but she still has her own language. She still calls a bowl a "biv" and calls water "monos". Who knows where she got that? I will say, "You want water" and she will say "Monos". She refuses to say it is called water. Even with her own words, she still has quite the vocabulary. I notice she has picked up on some of the things I say and what others say as well, unfortunately! Often times she will say, "Oh Great!" in an irritated voice when something is wrong. She is so smart and does something new everyday! We are still working on colors and shapes but at least she knows her letters. Alexis is such a joy to have in our little family and I can't wait to see what she will say or do next!
