Just some quick updates. It has been very difficult to keep up with this blog. How do people do this on a daily basis!
Anyway...Alexis and John are doing really well. John turned 15 last month and Alexis turned 2 1/2.. No big celebrations just family and few friends close to us.. Easter was celebrated the same way. Alexis got the hang of it and by the fourth egg hunt she was a master in finding those eggs. We are set with plastic eggs for next year that's for sure. It was a looong Easter weekend but we celebrated with everyone.
Alexis was supposed to have her third surgery in March but she was doing so well with her ST that we decided to postpone it until the summer (July 5th.) and concentrate on her speech. Her speech is going well and she really enjoys going every week to the DM center and "play" with J and Ms. S.
Her favorite words are CAR and YELLOW, but when she says Oh com'n! we just laugh. Too cute.
She is still eating very well and we have a 35lb. girl with a lot of energy. Her favorite foods continue to be vegetables. She does not like meat too much. Rice, all kind of beans and yogurt are her favorites and fruits like peaches and mandarin . Loves soups and not a big fan of pizza and fries..yea! We eat pasta.The only thing that she would not eat is mint.
Last weekend we drove up to Jacksonville and she did really well. John F. really helped keep her occupied. She had to sleep with us because she did not like the crib at the hotel. She's such a good sleeper at the house that we let her sleep in the king size bed. The hotel was conveniently located at a big shopping center with restaurants so it was great to just go down and walk everywhere with the stroller without the hassle of the car seat. We were in Jacksonville because John had State piano competitions and won a trophy. I'm going to try to post a video of him playing. but for now, you can view a You Tube video here and here and here from a couple of years ago{Scherzo in E minor by Karp, Tarantella by Pieczonca and Solffeggieto by Bach). Enjoy.
