One of Lacy's big things these days is to ask to "sit". She likes to sit in the big chairs these days. She's really good too, just this past weekend we went to Celtic Crossing in Midtown and the three of us enjoyed a nice afternoon on their outdoor patio all sitting in our very own grownup seats for over an hour together. I know what you're thinking, Jami how did you do it? Well, I practice daily while at work and am thinking about taking it up professionally. I hear there is a league over Northern Korea.

When Lacy get's hungry now she likes to make her little sign for eat and keeps saying "eat, eat". She will go to her high chair and try to climb up it.

She also likes to put her baby, which she calls "babies" into the chair, and also "ernie" and her bear (she just makes a growling sound for him) into the chair and try to feed them.

Katie and I've been trying to let her feed herself some with utensils. And today I was letting/helping her feed herself some cheese grits. She really did a good job and didn't make a mess at all.

The only problem these days is that I'm still number three on the totem pole in the Ferrell household. When she's upset, or happy for that matter, the usual first two people she yells for are "moma" followed by "baxie" I'm usually a distant third. But when she runs toward me yelling "dada" and throws her arms around me or gives me a big kiss all memories of being number three are washed away:)

It's always good to get a little Baxter love!

This was taken on March 13th I think. Lacy and I had been playing hard that afternoon while Katie was out and I walked into the kitchen to get something. I looked back into the den about 20 seconds later because I didn't hear her and I didn't see her anywhere. So I walked in and she was on the other side of our coffee table sound asleep. She had just passed out from exhaustion. This was the first time that this had ever happened, and the first time she had ever fell asleep on the floor. In the picture you can see the hair detangler that she and I had been playing with. (She likes us to spray it into her hair.) Katie got home a few minutes later and saw her. We actually ended up just leaving her in the floor because it was so cute and I think she slept there for about 30 or 45 minutes while we stepped over her.

Lacy loves wearing hats. Here she is in her winter hat back in February. Today is March 29 and she still likes to put that hat on and walk around the house. It doesn't matter where we are though, if she sees a hat she wants to put it on. It doesn't matter if it's her cowgirl hat, this hat, or any other hat she sees. She just loves to put them on and wear them around. She'll beg you to help her get it on if she can't do it herself by saying "pease, pease pease" and making her little sign language signs.

Lacy and Katie were dressed like each other every day we were in Orlando. Very cute!

This was taken on Katie's 30th birthday back on February 8. Lacy and I surprised Katie by taking her down to Orlando for her Birthday. We had a really good time. Lacy loved everything and rode a lot of rides, including peter pan, snow white, dumbo, and pirates of the caribbean. Lacy couldn't quite make it to the end of pirates, she was sitting between katie and I and just dozed off, the combo of cool air and darkness did her in.

We did a lot of walking while we were there and walked to a lot of the resorts. We went to Saratoga Springs, Wilderness Lodge, Contempory, Polynesian, and Grand Floridian. We also went to Downtown Disney.

Although we went on a lot of rides Lacy's favorite time was playing on the playground in the Magic Kingdom. She had a great time there. That day she started sliding down slides by herself for the first time. The next day she was going down a tall twisting slide at Saratoga Springs all by herself. I'll try to post a picture of that above this post.

All in all we had a great trip. We drove down and made the trip from Memphis to our hotel in about 12.5 hours. We really only made one big stop and that was in Montgomery at the Fresh Market grocery store when we stopped for about an hour there just to let Lacy walk around and have some fun without being in the care. She was amazing. She didn't cry the entire drive! We had bought her a little portable dvd player at Christmas and she watched a lot of her disney movies and her sesame street dvd and she was captivated. On the way home she only cried once and it was for a total of probably 30 seconds. I couldn't have asked for a better little girl to travel with. I guess we go so many places with her all the time that she really doesn't mind. Half the time I think she can't wait to get in the car and go somewhere.

The night of Katie's birthday we actually were able to meet Karen and Eric and go eat at Downtown Disney at the Portabello Yacht Club for dinner, followed by an evening of fun at Ragland Road, an irish pub. Meanwhile Lacy was with a baby sitter at our condo/timeshare at the Fairfield Bonnet Creek. Lacy never actually got to see the baby sitter though because she was asleep when she got there and still asleep when she left. The baby sitter we used was through a company called Kid's Night Out. She was very nice and was actually disappointed that Lacy was asleep when she got there. If any of you go down to Orlando I'd suggest you contact these guys. I thought the were really good and seemed very caring while still being affordable.

Overall this was a great trip for a long weekend. I just wish we would have had about 3 or 4 more days.

This pic is a little old. It's from about a month ago, back around March 1 or so. Katie was having fun with her hair that night. When this photo was taken Lacy really didn't like for me to wash her hair at all. It kind of freaked her out when I would pour the water over her head, even when I tried to keep it out of her face. But these days she's a lot better and me and her have a lot of fun with all the fun stuff in her tub; the rubber ducks that we pull off the wall, her blue star, the lady bug glove, her old shampoo bottle and her tooth brush (she likes to brush her teeth when she bathes now). I try to make the hair washing time fun now by letting her pour water on my head too. She thinks that's pretty fun and we have a good time. I just have to make sure that my head is over the tub or else we've got a lot of water in the bathroom all over the place.
