Not sure why &#8220;up&#8221; is<br \/>\n    harder to say than &#8220;douwn&#8221; but apparently it is. I try to use<br \/>\n    up and down in lots of other situations too (&#8220;hands up, hands<br \/>\n    down&#8221; or &#8220;the puppy is up, the puppy is down&#8221;), and he<br \/>\n    understands. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Bathtime<\/strong><br \/>Since<br \/>\n    swimming lessons began, Lex has discovered that you can lay<br \/>\n    down in the tub and swim. This is fun, but also annoying. He<br \/>\n    used to sit peacefully and play with the toys, but now he&#8217;s a<br \/>\n    crazy man all over the tub. Just last night he started blowing<br \/>\n    bubbles in the tub too. Let&#8217;s see if he can transfer this new<br \/>\n    skill to the pool on Friday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wild Animal Babies<\/strong><br \/>His new favorite book. A magazine subscription, really.<br \/>\n    This latest issue has a mouse in it and Lex loves it. If you<br \/>\n    sit for more than a minute or two in the living room, he&#8217;ll be<br \/>\n    there, at your feet, with the book, looking for a reading :)<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of &#8220;douwn&#8221;, Lex just woke up<br \/>\n    and is standing in his crib saying &#8220;douwn, douwn&#8221; Usually this<br \/>\n    is accompianied by his little finger pointing down to the<br \/>\n    floor.
