We’ve gotten into a nice routine on
daycare mornings. Alan and I both get up, I take care of
getting myself ready and Alan gets Lex ready. Then I put Lex in
the car, drive to daycare, hand him over, and drive to work. It
works out well, EXCEPT that I don’t get any baby time in the
mornings. I miss that. When I dropped Lex off this morning he
was very sweet and smiley. He kept reaching for me, but not
crying when I didn’t take him out of the teacher’s arms. Then
he waved bye-bye to me. It was sweet. He seemed ok but I was
sad. Daycare is hard on mommy.

All weekend it was
beautiful weather. We went to the park with our friends Bill
and Elizabeth and had a really nice weekend. I kept meaning to
post a blog about how much I love spring. Then we got a
snowstorm! I drove home from my (final) class last night in a
blizzard! Ahh… spring :) Today we have snow on the ground and
snow in the forecast, but a sunny fog mix in the sky.

Lex has reached some sweet milestones lately.
He apparently took several steps for Alan yesterday. I’ll
believe it when I see it ;) When I’m around he just wants to be
held. His babblings are also starting to sound more like
conversations. The words are still nonsensical, but the flow is
definitely more conversational and sometimes he even stops and
looks at you expectantly, as though waiting for an answer to
his babbly question. I have a feeling that once the flood gates
are open … :)
