Lex
\n grows smarter by the minute and his communication skills have
\n really taken off. He can now use two word phrases, which is
\n sometimes helpful (“more milk”) and sometimes just silly (“big
\n clock”). He’s fascinated with clocks and points them out
\n everywhere we go. He still confuses clocks and gauges, like the
\n speedometer or a pressure gauge, but that’s an understandable
\n mistake. He also tries very hard to repeat everything I say and
\n seems to be picking up new words rapidly. I love it. The other
\n day I was zoning into my computer and he came running in (with
\n his silly, silly run) saying “help, help” and doing the sign as
\n he ran. When he got to me he pointed to his sippy cup which was
\n stuck in his overall buckles :) He pointed to the cup, said and
\n signed “help” and pointed to the cup again. So smart!
\n (excluding the fact that he got his sippy cup stuck in his
\n overalls, of course :) ). So I unhooked the cup and handed it
\n to him. He immediately handed it back and said and signed “more
\n milk.” The cup was empty. He ran to the fridge and said\/signed
\n “more milk” again. Soooo smart!! He also has been peeing on the
\n potty once or twice a day lately, and on his own accord. He’ll
\n sit right down on the potty (clothes and all) or come get me
\n and bring me to his potty. Then, once the diaper is off, he
\n sits right down and pees. <\/p>\n
Like I
\n said, some unrelated thoughts here. The house is moving along
\n nicely. The flooring guy comes on Monday for the week so dad
\n and crew are putting in some overtime to be sure we’re ready
\n for him. I wish so much I could go over and help too. As much
\n as I love the little man, he’s definitely not good to have
\n around at a construction site. So my visits are just that –
\n short and social. Then I leave and the work continues. Anyway,
\n my biggest fear right now is that they will get done and I’ll
\n look around and think “Oh my god, I can’t believe I chose
\n that<\/em> color!” We have been making so many
\n decisions and I’m just hoping that when we put it all together
\n it actually looks good :) I can’t even imagine the scary
\n decisions you have to make when you build a house from scratch.
\n Oh well. I guess if I have to have fears, those are ok ones to
\n have.<\/p>\n
\n one<\/strong>
The little one inside seems to be
\n coming along nicely. My belly is definitely sticking out these
\n days. We have an appointment in 2 weeks for another ultrasound
\n and the morning sickness, for the most part, has passed. Not
\n much else to report. I was looking at my baby blog for Lex and
\n saw that I felt the first kicks around 19 weeks. I’m looking
\n forward to that again. It’s a pretty cool feeling having
\n someone growing inside you. We saw a great shirt awhile back
\n that said “I grow people.” Made me laugh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
