Lex Developments

Lex is growing up. He is much more fun to be around. Now when I leave him in ChildWatch at the gym, he doesn't cry the whole time. He has begun to play and have an interest in things. Like computers.

They start so young.

Lex is also becoming more mobile. The first clue is when you go to get him in the morning and he is not where you laid him down. We find he is on the other side of the crib, facing the other direction and flipped over. Instead of the "army crawl", Lex began moving with a full body "worm" motion. Now, he is working up to actual crawling.

Giggles, squeals, coos and babbles are his new form of communication as well. His favourite babble seems to be "ma". This means he says it more than once and I get to hear "mama" often! While I'm sure this is not actually a first word, I will take it.

Don't let the pictures fool you. This child stills retains a lot of resentment and anger over something. That much is evident in his screams. Happily, the interludes between crying jags are growing longer and are beginning to be filled with some pleasant indicators of personality development.
