But last week she actually said 'HI' - my neighbor friend got her to say 'HI' to Louie their dog. She says hop and bib and she makes some sounds for some other things. She tries to copy what we say sometimes, too. It's so amazing! She had a rough night last night and that just doesn't really happen with her. She is all runny-nosed and water-eyed. We had to go in and give her some water and try to clean out her nose last night. She was fussing off and on. Poor sweetie. She is doing pretty good today. She has a very drippy nose and was tired. She is finishing up a long nap right now. We aren't used to interrupted nights - I know we are spoiled.
On another note - last night Lexi took 3 little steps!!! She was holding onto a chair in the dining room. I was in the kitchen cleaning up dinner and David was with her so he saw it. We couldn't believe it! They were little tiny steps, but she was trying so hard. She has been trying to stand longer on her own and has amazing control in that she will bend her knees to lower herself instead of falling sometimes. We did get her to take a couple more steps after that last night. She did this difficult pivot and a step before grabbing on to something. Wow! Just shocking and so exciting! She was very proud. So were we - there was much clapping and cheering, and ok, maybe a tear or two from mommy. Here is a photo of one handed walking practice with daddy last week.

Yippee, Lexi!
How nice for you to wait until your daddy was home before taking your steps. I bet that made him feel pretty special. (And Mommy too, of course.)
;)
What an exciting time! I can just picture the look of concentration and excitement on her face, and the tears on yours Kari.
Hooray for Lexi! Lexi looks so much like baby Kari in this picture. But the pumpkin squishing pictures definitely have the non-Teske look to them. We'll be excited to see the little sprinter in December!
