I’ve been meaning to post this all day and
just now am getting the chance. Actually, I should get my butt
in bed since Lex just fell asleep, but oh well, I’ll try to
write quickly :)

Lex is the most
expressive baby I know. He makes so many different faces and
all within minutes of each other. He had Alan and I in tears
(of laughter) last night just watching him go. He was smiling
and gurgling and cooing at us. Then, suddenly, he started
making funny bug-eyed faces – which cracked us up. Then, just
as suddenly, back to the smiles. One face was a huge frown (a
perfect, huge, upside-down U) that lasted for about a second
then right back to the smiles. I almost think he was doing them
on purpose because they made us laugh so hard. What a
baby.

He’s also started crying like a
baby, not a newborn. For the first time yesterday he had a cry
that sounded very different. We were concerned at first, but
then we realized it’s just a baby cry instead of a newborn cry.
Of course we aim to keep the crying to a minimum :) Now we need
to work on the sleeping. He currently is aiming to keep the
sleeping to a minimum – which I’m not so pleased about. On that
note, he’s crying again so I’m outta here.
