In the first couple of days, Lex was so
\noften encouraged to “come see the baby” that it would seem he
\nis taking the suggestion as literally as one could. He
\nregularly walks over to Eve when she is accessible around head
\nheight, leans in so his face is within a few inches of hers, and
\nwith his cute, high-pitched, happy-voice, says “See? …
\nSee?”<\/p>\n
He will repeat this three or four
\ntimes before moving on to other activities. These other
\nactivities often include sweet little kisses, mildly
\nover-enthusiastic hugs, and most recently, trying to pick her
\nup or, “hold the baby,” as he says. Obviously, we are trying to
\ntame the last two for the short term, but so far, Eve has not
\ncomplained beyond a few subtle grunts and squeaks. She appears
\nto be an easy going soul, which she will need if the peace is
\nto be kept as they get older. Don’t get me wrong: Lex roles
\nwith the punches as well as any toddler I have ever seen, but
\nhe is a wild man to the core, and I wouldn’t have it any other
