More Gratuitous Lexie Photos

If Lexie had been born on her due date, today would have been her first birthday. This makes her one year old, adjusted, and her progress is measured against that of a true one-year-old child. She's on target in most areas, but eating is still a big problem. She is stuck on purees and oatmeal. She won't put food in her mouth and throws up or cries like crazy every time we try to put something solid like a cheer.io in her mouth. She also won't use a sippy cup. We had her evaluated last week, and she has been approved for early intervention services from the state. I'm relieved that we'll be getting her the help she needs, but I do wish she didn't need it.

In the meantime, she has learned to root for the New Orleans Saints.

And she has learned to root for the Syracuse Orange.

She's also been playing her great grandma's piano.

I think she's doing pretty well, all things considered.
