Jumping and B, C, Q!

Lexi's newest talent is jumping. She tries so very hard, but just hasn't pulled it all together yet. She has started jumping off of things such as laundry baskets, pillows, the couch and Allen. She doesn't ever land on her feet. After she hits the ground, she yells "Carsh!" That means Crash! She'll also say, "Bonk! Hed!" She doesn't hit her head, but it's the only part she ever mentions. I took a video of her jumping (we use the term loosely) down the hallway. (Please ignore the heaving breathing; I must have channeled Darth Vader. How embarrassing! In my own defense, I was trying not to laugh out loud.)

We're learning A,B,C's also. She will sing the first 3 letters and then try and mouth the rest of the song. She usually says, "Want B, C, R? or B, C, Q?!" or B, C, followed by some random letter way down the line when she wants to practice. We spend lots of time on the alphabet right now.

If Lexi is having issues going number 2, or poot, she'll ask for help. I usually hear, "Poot! Need help!" This means she is going to lay down, grab her knees and start pumping her legs while grunting and making audible pushing noises. She then says, "It's stuck!" Classic. May be a TMI moment, but that is our life right now. I never thought I would care so much about poop. Parenthood brings us all to new heights, doesn't it?
