"Play talk. Play talk!" This phrase was the hallmark of November, during which Lexi decided all of the sudden to abandon her love of independent play and engage those around her in a game involving whatever toy animal she thrust in your face, and "talking" - although she'd more often than not tell you you were doing it wrong. Mama panicked a little bit when this behaviour began, because a new baby was coming in a matter of months and she really appreciated Lexi's ability to play independently. So much for that. Adorably, Lexi called any fish "Nemo", and her favourite toys to play with were always "Nemo" and donosaurs - especially her purple Dino, which she won this past summer at the Rodeo fair.
Lexi's vocabulary began exploding in November, resulting in a number of memorable words and phrases: "baboon" for balloon, "whatchu doing", and "maybe that one" were some of her favourites. She also used the word "both" when she really meant "all", insisting that "both" her babies needed to be moved from the bed to the living room, when she really meant ALL. All hundred or so stuffies. We quickly put boundaries around that one!
A special family moment this month was going to the Santa Claus parade. It was chilly out and the parade wasn't fantastic, but Lexi was such a trooper and we had lots of fun.
