\n keep track of firsts here. We started Lex on rice cereal last
\n weekend and he seems to like it. He gobbles it up when I feed
\n him, and likes playing with it when he can. We also started
\n putting him face forward in his stroller (instead of lying in
\n the infant carrier facing backwards). He really likes that
\n because he can sit upright and see what’s going on. He’s so
\n cute too. A week or two ago Lex discovered his feet and is now
\n able to put them in his mouth (all of his toes at once!). We
\n try to expose his feet for him sometimes, but it’s starting to
\n get cold now so he can’t go barefoot too often. He takes full
\n advantage of his “toys” when they are bare :)<\/p>\n

This weekend we had lots of family in town. The last few
\n times there has been a crowd Lex has been pretty calm, but this
\n weekend he was just a mess. He cried and fussed the whole time
\n – except when we were home. He was very happy when it was just
\n a few people at our house. It’s interesting to see the
\n different stages he’s going through, mentally, physically, and
\n emotionally. Lately he’s started crying with tears and hiccups
\n – sounding more and more like a grownup cry instead of an
\n infant. <\/p>\n

Along the lines of crying,
\n we’ve been having a heck of a time putting him down lately.
\n He’ll fall asleep in our arms, but soon after we put him down
\n he wakes up crying. Not just fussy crying, but real, loud,
\n almost scared crying. Makes me wonder if babies have
\n nightmares. Alan is in the living room with him right now
\n trying to soothe him back to sleep. It’s really a heartbreaking
\n cry :\/<\/p>\n

I haven’t posted photos in
\n awhile, so here are a few from the past few weeks. We had a
\n really nice day last weekend (or the weekend before???) and we
\n went for a walk down Quechee Gorge. It was great weather and
\n Lex enjoyed the outdoors. Carrying him up and down was good
\n exercise for me too!<\/p>\n

Alan’s parents
\n brought us a highchair this weekend. Lex is so cute and small
\n in it :) He loves the toys on the tray, but only likes the
\n highchair for about 3 minutes. Then he starts hollering. I
\n think he just likes hollering :) Sometimes I confuse him by
\n sticking a spoonful of cereal in his big mouth. That typically
\n quiets him for a few minutes.<\/p>\n

Anyway,
\n enough of my random spew of thoughts. Lex is in bed, so I’m
\n outta here. More later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
