Kodak Moments

So I had this idea that it would be fun to take a photo of Lexie every day doing something funny, something cute, something quintessentially her … or just something unremarkable yet adorable all the same. Here are a few from the last few days:

Sunday, 9/12: Watching football with Daddy. Andy put the barrette in (not surprisingly, I’ve had a bit of trouble with it) – we were trying to get it far back enough so that she didn’t notice it and pull it out. At any rate, the child is transfixed by football, probably at least partially because it’s pretty much the only time the TV is ever on when she’s around. But we have had baseball and other shows on occasionally, and football is definitely her favorite. The girl is hard core, and destined to follow in her mother’s footsteps as two-time fantasy football champion (and counting!).

Tuesday, 9/14: Jennifer texted me mid-afternoon to let me know that Lexie had downed a 10 oz. bottle (an achievement, since she also seems to take after her mother in a bit of a distaste for milk at times). I told her I needed a fix and asked her to send a picture. They were heading out to pick up Maddie from school.

What gets me about this one, aside from the ever-present crown, is the expression on her face – so content, with a bit of a faraway look in her eyes like she’s remembering something nice.

Wednesday, 9/15: I love this one for two reasons. One, she’s doing a classic Lexie pose: pointing out the window and whispering in a tiny voice, “car.”

Two, check out the socks. She found my socks on the living room floor (yes, I’m a slob) and insisted Andy put them on. He pulled them all the way up because they were so big, expecting her to quickly pull them off. But she loved it! She marched around in them the rest of the night – they looked like little legwarmers. I guess it’s true – the 80s really are back!
