Oh how far we have come

and by we I mainly mean Alexia.  Ever since she has taken those first 3 solo steps she is a wobbly walking machine.  Granted it only comes in spurts and sets of 5 or so, but still she tries so hard and gets the biggest smile on her face when she is doing it! Not only is she walking more but she is now standing up on her own, she no longer always needs the help of the nearest couch, table, or anything she can pull up on.  It amazes me how much she has changed in just the last week. 

I am so excited for Saturday.  My mom is coming down to babysit Lexi while Lew and I join some friends at the Coyotes game.  Our first night out together in a while.  I can't wait and most of all I can't wait for mom to see all that Lexi does now.  Since Thanksgiving she has accomplished so much.  Good luck watching her mom, she is a crazy woman with the push toy! Especially when she starts going after the dogs, but it is so much fun to watch her be so independent. 

Lew has started a new position at his company and gone back to the dreaded 9-6 shift.  ARG.  I miss having him home around 5 and there for dinner.  Now he gets home about when we are getting into pj's.  The worst part is not being able to eat as a family.  The best part is, he is home all day Saturdays now! 

The countdown to Christmas continues.  I finished wrapping all our gifts today and I was kinda sad!  I have really gotten into the Christmas spirit this year and have been enjoying every minute of it.
