Ok, so like I said, I’m not very good at
\n keeping up here. Time seems to go by so quickly and every free
\n minute I have is spent sleeping or trying to clean up the house
\n a bit. I know they say you’re not supposed to worry about a
\n dirty house, but when it gets to the point where you just can’t
\n find things… then it’s time to do a little cleaning :) Lex
\n has been eating more and more frequently lately, so I’m
\n sleeping in little one hour bursts – which makes doing just
\n about anything more difficult. But, such is life with an
\n adorable baby.<\/p>\n
Sometimes I put off
\n posting because I want to add a photo as well and they take
\n longer to do. So today I decided to post a quick updates sans
\n photo with a promise of more photos to come (I’ve got people
\n begging for them now – maybe I should start charging…
\n hmm….) He’s sleeping happily right now in a belly pack. Sort
\n of an odd contraption, but he seems to like it.<\/p>\n
We had a good visit with Jim and Julie
\n yesterday. They were so nice they brought flowers and pie and
\n food. :) Good people. Lex repaid by rolling over for them :)
\n Alan put him on his belly on the floor (he didn’t like that
\n much) and he flailed around and ended up on his back (which he
\n liked much better). It was pretty cool. I’m not sure if that’s
\n good for his age, but it made us happy anyway. We need to get
\n out a baby development book so we know what to expect when. Or
\n not. Maybe we’ll just enjoy what he does and not worry about
\n things he may not do :) <\/p>\n
Lex seems to be
\n getting so big these days. He’s definitely looking longer and
\n he’s starting to be less fetal (kicking his legs out more, not
\n so curled up). He’s also getting more baby fat and a double
\n chin and jowels :) We took him to a group called 4th Trimester
\n a few days ago (basically a support group for new parents,
\n mainly mothers, and their babies – free and meets weekly) It
\n was fun. Lex was the youngest one there and he looked so small!
\n The next youngest (3wks) was also named Alexander, but his
\n parents call him Xander. I thought that was fun. Lex slept
\n through most of the group, but Alan and I met some really nice
\n people. It was fun watching the older babies (3-4 months) who
\n are rolling over, smiling, playing with toys, etc. The babies
\n all interacted really well with each other as well. Towards the
\n end Lex woke up and Alan took him around to introduce him to
\n the other babies. He didn’t seem to care much :) I guess we’ll
\n give him time to work on his social skills. <\/p>\n
Ok, off to do a little more cleaning before he wakes up
\n and demands food again. I have to pay bills today and the first
\n step is to find them, as they have become scattered about the
\n house lately. We are also waiting on Joan and Jericka who are
\n on their way up to visit. Lex is a popular little
\n man!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
