\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Another sweater for baby. I’m no Martha Stewart,
\n but it’s not too shabby. I actually started it for Lex but only
\n got about half way done before he was born. Then I stopped
\n knitting for quite some time :) So I figured I’d finish it for
\n the next little one.<\/p>\n

Since I have the
\n sewing machine out for its quad-annual (what’s the word for
\n every 4 years??) usage, I’m going all out and cleaning up my
\n sewing pile. It’s more of a mental pile really, since there is
\n stuff all over the house that I keep meaning to fix “next time
\n I have the sewing machine out.” Soo… I guess it’s now or
\n 2011!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>On a Lex note, I went shopping with the family
\n this past weekend and bought (well, Mema bought…thanks!!)
\n some 2T (24mo) jeans for Lex and some Play-Doh. Turns out he’s
\n not really ready for either! His blue jeans are starting to get
\n too short on him so I thought it was time for 2T, but the new
\n ones are huge! I checked the tag on his too-short pants and
\n they are 12mo. No wonder he’s outgrowing them! So he’s now
\n wearing the 2T and I’ve become one of those “he’ll grow into
\n them” moms :) I got out the Play-Doh yesterday and he had more
\n fun stacking the cups than actually playing with the Play-Doh.
\n I was showing him how to roll it and squish it and he kept
\n trying to put it in his mouth. He does it very subtly :) After
\n a few times telling him not to I said “Ok, go ahead and try it,
\n but it tastes yucky.” He tried it, thought for a minute, tried
\n some more, then broke off an even bigger piece and stuck it in
\n his mouth. Hehehe… guess he likes it. I had to stop him at
\n that point. I also got a laugh that the container says
\n “Notice to Parents: Contains
\n Wheat.<\/span><\/span>” I guess enough kids eat it
\n that they felt the need to post allergen alerts :) I got the
\n Play-Doh out again today and he got some mild enjoyment out of
\n squashing it in his hand, but still preferred to stack the
\n cups.<\/p>\n

Lastly, here is a little video for
\n you of Lex saying the alphabet. He’s pretty silly and drooly,
\n but you can hear most of the letters.

Boy,
\n does anyone actually read these long rambling posts of mine??
\n If so, wow! ;)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
