FOUND IT!!!

Hahaha... yesterday, i FINALLY found a food Lexi doesn't like! Well, let me clarify- a part of food she doesn't like. If i blend it up, she loves it. If i give her the bottom part, she loves it... but I give her the top- hilarious-ness begins.  :) If i can figure out how to get the video from my phone onto the computer, I'll post it on here! (working on it- bare with me!) I took two videos of it. I'm so mean though. I thought it was so funny that I gave her another piece just so i could catch it on video.

So.... the first food we found that Lexi doesn't like.... RASPBERRIES!! i gave her the actual fruit yesterday and the funny faces and gagging soon followed. I love Lexi so much. She doesn't know to spit it out yet, so she fought... and fought hard to make herself swallow it. She is sooooo cute! How did I get so lucky?! I love my baby girl!! She makes me want a soccer team of babies! (but don't worry- 2 is the limit... 3 TOPS- only if she gets a brother next time!)

Today, we're going to play inside. Lexi is just starting to real crawl, so I want to play with her on the soft carpet so she can "practice" and get better. I can't believe she'll be ONE in just 4 more months!! I'm planning parts of her birthday party and this is what I've got so far:

When: July 17, 2011 2-5pm
Where: my mom's house (more space!)
Theme: Olivia!!

There will be "bars" set up all around the house.
Bar 1- baby bar: this will be all of lexi's favorite snacks (puffs, yogurt chips, lil crunchies, mum mums)
Bar 2- dessert bar: cake balls, cookies, cake, and brownies
Bar 3- fruit and veggie bar
Bar 4- make your own chex mix/ cracker and cheese bar
Bar 5- wine and drink bar (adults!)

As far as decor, I'm going to have an olivia showcase (decorate the tv area to be like a movie theater... playing Olivia throughout the party). There will be a window Chandelier, that I saw here, a happy birthday banner (with pictures!) , and pom poms, too!! The colors are Red, Black, and White... with just a splash of light blue! :)

The center pieces at the tables will be my favorite. They'll be vases filled with red Tulips or daisies, and an Olivia character stuffed animal with balloons tied to the wrist! (1 HUGE red balloon with 4-5 b/w balloons around it).

That's pretty much as far as I've gotten so far. I know it'll be amazing and I can't wait to see it all come together. It's going to be a very LONG 4 month wait.


Well, I hope everyone has a great weekend!! I'm going to give this video thing another try and then it'll be play time for the rest of the day! We're picking G-ma Laura up from the airport at 4 and hopefully get to hang out and show off the new crawling skills! :)
