Lexi Speak
Allen and I pretty obsessed with anything Lexi so we always get a kick out of listening to her language. In an effort to help clarify some of her chirping, we put together a list of the things she says most often. Since we're putting up more and more video, this might help those of you who speak regular English to know what the heck is going on. Of course, everything has Lexiflection (or Lexi inflection) which means lots of high, high notes and a very sing-songy way of saying anything. Also, the words are repeated, getting louder each time, until someone acknowledges what she's saying by repeating the word. She says about 2 new words a day so this list will not be comprehensive. =o)

About Me
- Riddlez
- What started as a way to communicate with far away friends and family has become a place for this horse trainer/HR manager turned stay at home mom of 3 girls to hold on to a bit of her own identity. It's my take on the ins and outs, the ups and downs, the thoughts and feelings, the mistakes and triumphs of this family as we bumble our way to eternity.

I can't believe how much she has done in such a short amount of time!! When I left she was not nearly as vocal. I miss Lexie and her silly ways (remember Jungle Book 20 times a day?!). Glad you're doing so well with her though.
Lexi and Lauren clearly hung out together before they came here. Her vocabulary is about the same, minus the horse stuff, and add in words for football stuff and Dallin related things. When I leave them with a babysitter, I have to remind Dallin to translate for the babysitter!
