Busy Little Bee!

It seems like in the past few days Alex has just exploded doing so much stuff!

She has know where her tummy and head are for about a month or so, but in the last two days, she learned nose and ears.

She still isn't speaking much but on rare occasions when you aren't expecting it she will repeat something clear as day. So far we have heard, ball, yum yum, yeah (she says this one all the time), Cooper, Daddy, all done...and more, but I can't think now.

She is obsessed with phones. If my phone rings, she runs over to it until I pick it up. She loves her play phone and will hold it up to her hear and just walk around the house. When we were at Josh's parents this weekend, Ray was playing with Alex and his phone rang. Alex picked up a sun glass case that was kinda shaped like a phone and put it up to her ear.

She is getting very good at putting stuff away. She isn't perfect, because she makes huge messes, but every little thing she puts away is one less that I don't have to put away.

She loves bags. She will walk around with her purse, a little makeup bag, or pretty much anything else that opens and she will fill it with her toys.

She learned how to unscrew bottles, which I almost found out the hard way. I was in my bathroom and she was playing in the drawers, found a little travel size shampoo, took it in our room, unscrewed the top and had it all over her hands. Thankfully I saw her before the hands went in her mouth.

She still loves her music. She will go into the living room, point at the drawer where we keep the remotes or point at the TV and start dancing. It's her cute way of telling me to turn on the tunes. If we start singing Head, Shoulder, Knees and Toes, she will find her puppy that plays it and push his paw until he starts singing that song, then clap for herself.

She loves bossing us around. Yesterday we were all on the bed and I kissed Josh. She came up to us, turned our heads away from each other and put her head between ours. If I'm holding her and kiss Josh she will lean in and kiss the both of us so it's like a big family kiss. When Josh is holding her and I lean in for a hug, she will give me a quick hug then push me away from them.

She loves playing with her stacking rings. She can put all the rings back on the pole thing in order from largest to smallest! She is getting good at stacking her little people blocks and getting the little people to sit in the wagon, see saw and carousel.

She is starting to climb. I went in her room today and found her with her torso on the ottoman and her legs on her glider, kinda stuck, not knowing what to do next. She is constantly trying to climb on top of her bigger toys, the couch and her glider.

We are heading to Dallas tomorrow so we can go to ICE! at the Gaylord with Josh's parents and dinner afterwards. Sunday we are doing my family Thanksgiving with my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Speaking of Thanksgiving, I've got to work on my menu. Our parents are coming to our house for Thanksgiving. THEN...we get to haul out the Christmas decorations! I CAN NOT WAIT!
