Domestic (and other stuff)

Another sweater for baby. I’m no Martha Stewart,
but it’s not too shabby. I actually started it for Lex but only
got about half way done before he was born. Then I stopped
knitting for quite some time :) So I figured I’d finish it for
the next little one.

Since I have the
sewing machine out for its quad-annual (what’s the word for
every 4 years??) usage, I’m going all out and cleaning up my
sewing pile. It’s more of a mental pile really, since there is
stuff all over the house that I keep meaning to fix “next time
I have the sewing machine out.” Soo… I guess it’s now or
2011!

On a Lex note, I went shopping with the family
this past weekend and bought (well, Mema bought…thanks!!)
some 2T (24mo) jeans for Lex and some Play-Doh. Turns out he’s
not really ready for either! His blue jeans are starting to get
too short on him so I thought it was time for 2T, but the new
ones are huge! I checked the tag on his too-short pants and
they are 12mo. No wonder he’s outgrowing them! So he’s now
wearing the 2T and I’ve become one of those “he’ll grow into
them” moms :) I got out the Play-Doh yesterday and he had more
fun stacking the cups than actually playing with the Play-Doh.
I was showing him how to roll it and squish it and he kept
trying to put it in his mouth. He does it very subtly :) After
a few times telling him not to I said “Ok, go ahead and try it,
but it tastes yucky.” He tried it, thought for a minute, tried
some more, then broke off an even bigger piece and stuck it in
his mouth. Hehehe… guess he likes it. I had to stop him at
that point. I also got a laugh that the container says
Notice to Parents: Contains
Wheat.
” I guess enough kids eat it
that they felt the need to post allergen alerts :) I got the
Play-Doh out again today and he got some mild enjoyment out of
squashing it in his hand, but still preferred to stack the
cups.

Lastly, here is a little video for
you of Lex saying the alphabet. He’s pretty silly and drooly,
but you can hear most of the letters.

Boy,
does anyone actually read these long rambling posts of mine??
If so, wow! ;)
