Lex has become really self-reliant lately.
\n Just a few examples… Thursday morning he and I ate some
\n yogurt together (he gets bites of mine because it’s too much
\n for him to eat alone). Then I went upstairs to shower and he
\n was down here with Alan. Alan says that he went into the
\n kitchen and found Lex sitting on the floor eating another
\n yogurt. Apparently he got it out of the fridge (he does that
\n for me), opened it, got out a spoon and started eating. This
\n morning he opened the fridge, got out a plastic container of
\n cantaloupe, got a fork, and started eating. Yesterday he put
\n his sneakers on all by himself too. Used to be just the Crocs,
\n but now he can manage Crocs and Vans. Cool, but scary. They say
\n that infants have developmental bursts, and I think it must
\n last through the toddler years too. Besides the physical stuff,
\n he has started actively working on his pronoun confusion and
\n he’ll often say something and then correct himself. Or start to
\n talk, stop, and start again the correct way. <\/p>\n
Lex also got in Eve’s crib again during nap time today —
\n twice! The first time she was sleeping and over the monitor I
\n heard her laughing and Lex saying “I think Eve is happy.” I
\n went up and found him tickling her and both very happy. It’s
\n hard to be upset by that, despite the fact that he was supposed
\n to be sleeping and she WAS sleeping. Later he got back in, but
\n she had fallen asleep and didn’t wake up. He took forever to
\n take his nap and she was exhausted! They are working on
\n figuring out how to nap together. I was hoping her good napping
\n would rub off on him, but it looks like he just keeps her awake
\n instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
