TEN MONTHS!

 

Our sweet Lexi Grae turned ten months old yesterday. 

She's grown a lot in ten months:

Can you even believe it???

I thought I'd show you some of her adventures from the past month! :) 

She's started doing this thing that cracks us up. If she's sitting on the couch, and we reach over to pet her back or belly, she just starts leaning slowly sideways. If she leans toward the back of the couch or a pillow, she will lean into that completely. Otherwise, she just falls over with all her legs spread out wide like, "SCRATCH ME!" Watching her topple is so funny. It's like slow motion.

So far, she's not too old to give great hugs. I'm sure the day is coming. 

She still waits with ALL HER MIGHT when Ryan comes home from work. Her entire backside trembles while she waits. (Unfortunately, now that school is back in session, she sometimes gets the school bus confused for Ryan's car and goes running to the door to welcome him...and it's not him. Sad day.)

It's started to be cool enough in the evenings to sit outside sometimes. She has her own chair and spends her time overseeing everything in her view. 

We also hit the part of her life where she murdered every stuffed toy she had. We had a good run with all those toys, but now we have to have harder toys, because the stuffies were all gutted. We got her this hard ring tug toy, and she thought it was the enemy. She just barked and barked at it. It's sitting in her toybox, waiting for her to figure out it's NOT after her and actually is fun to play with. 

My sweet cuddle girl. (Funny story: a few days ago, I was taking a nap when she ran over and plopped on top of me. She stretched out beside me with her nose against mine and started whinnying like a horse until I acknowledged her presence. Then she went back to sleep. LOL!)

Hoping for scraps. (That was a no.)

She LOVES Ryan. And she LOVES to lick his head. 

Got to see Grandpa this month! They were both pretty happy about that.

Walks are still life. She loses her mind with joy the minute we put on our sunglasses. She knows. (And boy is she disappointed when the sunglasses go on because we're leaving for church or something!)

They're both the cutest!

So that's an update on Lexi! She watched the Queen's funeral on Monday and spends a lot of time watching home improvement shows, too. Give her a holler if you need a kitchen remodel. She should know how! 

I don't even know how it's possible that she is going to be a year old in two short months, but it's true!
