Lexi Walking

It's been a while since I've posted anything, so here's a quick update. Lexi will be a year old this Sunday. At her doctors visit last Friday, she weighed in at 19 lbs 13 oz and 29.5" tall. She has two teeth on the bottom and two on the top with two more on the way. She will say "hi" to just about anything that moves and some things that don't. She will imitate animal sounds. She espically likes quacking at ducks and going woof at dogs and cats. She has recently started taking a couple of steps. Here's a video Kristi took at Grandma Nell's:

National Defense at it's best

Hello all. I am on a trip to Puerto Rico with the Air Force right now and had a little bit of time before I have to go into work. So I thought I'd share a little with you.

Earlier in the week I was able to do some SCUBA diving. I have some picture posted on Flickr if you are interested. There's not alot of pictures. The visibility wasn't the best on one of the dives so I had the camera off and just enjoyed the dive for a lot of it.

Lexi is doing well. According to Kristi, while I've been gone she's started pulling herself up on anything she can get her hands on.

Merry Christmas

Lexi's first Christmas has come and gone. For the most part, it went very well. She is, however, very glad to be back to a more normal schedule today.

The holidays started this past Sunday with Lexi playing the role of Baby Jesus for the pre-school portion of the church Christmas program.

We spent Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa Spitzer's. Grandma and Grandpa Crosby, Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Spitzer and others from The Spitzer clan were there as well.

Christmas was a much smaller affair at Grandma and Grandpa Tubbs' house. That was just Grandma and Grandpa, (Great)Grandma Nell, Uncle Ben and Aunt Robin.

Yesterday, we met up with Dave and Kristin Oakley, Sandy and Mike Cofta and all the associated children. In addition to Lexi, there were two 3 year olds, a one and a half year old and six month old twins. Lexi loved interacting with babies her own age.

I'll have some pictures and video up once I get everything on the computer.

Yummy Yummy

Lexi ate cereal from a bowl with a spoon for the first time tonight. She was a little confused at first, but seemed to enjoy it (at least what stayed in her mouth.)

Rolling around

I know I haven't posted in a while. Lexi has been growing like a weed. She's real good a rolling around now. She is starting to be able to support herself briefly when sitting.

Lexi's Sabres Debut

Lexi made her first appearance at the HSBC Arena Saturday night as Buffalo hosted the BlueJax. No, she isn't the secret weapon to fix the power play (but it couldn't hurt). A picture of Lexi and Daddy, both sporting Sabres gear, made the Fan Scrapbook that is shown on the Jumbotron during a stoppage in play.

Baby Firsts

Lexi has had a couple of firsts recently. About two weeks ago, she moved from the bassinet in our room to her crib in the nursery. She took to this change very well.

The other first happened this morning while in the nursery at church. She was laying on the floor on a blanket and, after a couple attempts, she rolled from her back to her tummy.
