I wasn't planning to do another post today, but my head is spinning over the events of this afternoon, so I figured I would share. Over the course of the past four hours, Alexis has:

1. Said the words "ball" and "mine" for the first time.
2. Signed the words "Mom", "sleep", "cracker", and "thank you" for the first time.
3. Opened her bedroom door all by herself for the first time.
4. Climbed out of her crib for the first time.

Newfound communication skills are great, but this whole thing where she can't be contained anymore needs to slow down!
