Ok, so like I said, I’m not very good at
keeping up here. Time seems to go by so quickly and every free
minute I have is spent sleeping or trying to clean up the house
a bit. I know they say you’re not supposed to worry about a
dirty house, but when it gets to the point where you just can’t
find things… then it’s time to do a little cleaning :) Lex
has been eating more and more frequently lately, so I’m
sleeping in little one hour bursts – which makes doing just
about anything more difficult. But, such is life with an
adorable baby.

Sometimes I put off
posting because I want to add a photo as well and they take
longer to do. So today I decided to post a quick updates sans
photo with a promise of more photos to come (I’ve got people
begging for them now – maybe I should start charging…
hmm….) He’s sleeping happily right now in a belly pack. Sort
of an odd contraption, but he seems to like it.

We had a good visit with Jim and Julie
yesterday. They were so nice they brought flowers and pie and
food. :) Good people. Lex repaid by rolling over for them :)
Alan put him on his belly on the floor (he didn’t like that
much) and he flailed around and ended up on his back (which he
liked much better). It was pretty cool. I’m not sure if that’s
good for his age, but it made us happy anyway. We need to get
out a baby development book so we know what to expect when. Or
not. Maybe we’ll just enjoy what he does and not worry about
things he may not do :)

Lex seems to be
getting so big these days. He’s definitely looking longer and
he’s starting to be less fetal (kicking his legs out more, not
so curled up). He’s also getting more baby fat and a double
chin and jowels :) We took him to a group called 4th Trimester
a few days ago (basically a support group for new parents,
mainly mothers, and their babies – free and meets weekly) It
was fun. Lex was the youngest one there and he looked so small!
The next youngest (3wks) was also named Alexander, but his
parents call him Xander. I thought that was fun. Lex slept
through most of the group, but Alan and I met some really nice
people. It was fun watching the older babies (3-4 months) who
are rolling over, smiling, playing with toys, etc. The babies
all interacted really well with each other as well. Towards the
end Lex woke up and Alan took him around to introduce him to
the other babies. He didn’t seem to care much :) I guess we’ll
give him time to work on his social skills.

Ok, off to do a little more cleaning before he wakes up
and demands food again. I have to pay bills today and the first
step is to find them, as they have become scattered about the
house lately. We are also waiting on Joan and Jericka who are
on their way up to visit. Lex is a popular little
man!
