They say new skills tend to
come in bursts and so far that seems to be the case with Lex. A
few weeks ago Alan and I were commenting to each other on how
it seemed like Lex was refining skills, but not really doing
much new. Then all of a sudden – lots of changes! We’ve got
teeth (not really a skill, I know), clapping, mamamamama, and
today – he pulled himself up. He was sitting in the laundry
basket (yes, we keep him in a laundry basket ;) ) and reached
over to the edge, grabbed ahold, and pulled himself right up
into a standing position. It was so fun!! Of course, that’s the
end of our laundry basket days :)

Although Alan and Lex went to bed hours ago, I stayed up
to get a few little things done (and “little” things always end
up taking much, much longer than anticipated). I finally got
all of our photos online at the Snapfish site. Try clicking here to view the photos. It
works for me, but they are my photos. Someone else let me know
if it works for you or if you have problems. Right now there
are pics from 4 months, 5 months, and 6 months. And a separate
album from last weekend’s cookie party. So when you log into
the site (yeah, you need a Snapfish account) you should see 4
albums. If that doesn’t work – lemme know!

And on that note, my fingers are frozen so that’s my cue
that it’s time to go to bed. Have a happy, happy
holiday!!

PS. The pictures you
see here were taken this evening. How’s that for fast
turnaround!?!??
