A little bit of spring

We've had a bit of spring in the StL as of late so we took the little girl, who's been cooped up inside all winter, O-U-T! Here are some of our adventures:

The park...
The zoo...


The park again...
We've hit a rough patch of overcast, rainy weather.. but spring is coming.. can't wait!

"I coming, I coming"

I wanted to write down a few of the adorable things that Lexi is doing and saying lately...

1. Anytime she thinks I'm leaving and she doesn't get to go she runs behind me saying "I coming, I coming!!"
2. Two nights ago she saw the moon while we were driving and cried every time it went behind the clouds "Moon!! Moon!!"
3. She is now "sleeping" in her big girl bed, because she thinks its cute to climb out of her crib. Its a work in progress.. we are trying, but she can escape that bed too....wish us luck.
4. She is getting pretty good at potty time.. no pressure, but when she says she wants to go.. we try and she succeeds.....sometimes.
5. When we are singing her to sleep at night she has, as of late, been interrupting our serenade to say "BYE BYE". At that point we stop singing and leave. Obviously she loves our singing voice.
6. The other day while we were driving she exclaimed "I'm sleepy" to which I replied.. "ok take a little nap" and she said "bye bye" and laid her head down.
7. She loves to color and names every crayon "purple."
8. When daddy is tickling her she screams/laughs... "no, daddy, NO"
9. She asks to watch "catoons" in the morning.
10. She makes us take her "piLLLow" and "bankie" with us when we leave her bed in the morning.
11. The accompanying photos is to remind us all the summer/spring is just around the corner.. and we CANNOT wait!




We are just loving every minute of our 19th month old. I can't believe how fast time is flying, but she is pretty amazing.

Ms. Acrobat

Really cute Lexi standing up in her bed like a big girl.... turned into not so cute, climbing acrobat Lexi this morning when she decided to climb out of her bed and bust her lip open.. This should make for an interesting time in the Timmerman household. :)

April 2009 - Lexi became a Cards fan!
May 2009 - Uncle Randy and Susan got married and Lexi is a full-fledged baby food/solid food eater.
June 2009 - First trip on an airplane and to the Florida beach. First swimming lessons.

We spent a lot of time with our families and would not have had it any other way. We are very very blessed and thank God for His hand in all we have and do.

Lots of love, from the Timmerman family!

Christmas '09

We had such a fun family Christmas this year with Alexis and both of our families. Lexi really enjoyed talking about Santa and snowmen and saying "ho, ho, ho." (She is really developing verbally and is picking up new words everyday.) Although I dealt with a rough cold the days leading up to Christmas, everything went smoothly and was pretty carefree. We started on Christmas Eve at Grandma Wanda's and then onto Grandma and Pete's.


Then on Christmas Day we opened gifts at our house, just the three of us. She loved that Santa brought her a new vanity, just like mommies. She also really enjoys her new recorder from her stocking. (ADVICE: Don't buy noisemakers if you don't HAVE to :) Later that morning we headed to Nini and Pop's house for gifts there and then the entire family came over for lunch. We ended the day at the Timmermans with more gifts and the arrival of Jaimie, Matt, Brooke and Ozzie. Those four spent the entire next week with us, along with Amy, Blake and Mati. It was really nice having all of the girls together. Although, next year is probably going to be even more exciting when they are all walking and talking. We rounded out Christmas at our house with the Williams family and back at my parents for my Grandma Denbow's family that following weekend. Whew.. makes me tired just reading ;)
