Lex, Again

Do you remember when we shared that Lex was becoming mobile? He must have known we posted that and wanted to get further ahead. A week later he is everywhere and anywhere he wants to be. I caught up to him roving through the kitchen trying to follow his siblings outside!

Paul was recently teasing him about being just a baby, who couldn't even cross the midline. Crossing midline is an important neurological and physical developmental stage in infants.  It usually occurs between 8-12 months of age.  I, as the proud, frivolous, indulgent, mother have decided that Lex crosses midline on a regular basis and is advanced for his age.  Paul, as the cold, callow, and objective, yet highly experienced and handsome, wheelchair professional who has done what it takes to help small children as well as adults cross midline for their first time, bases his more realistic opinion on actually observing Lex as he moves and plays.

This is not an example of crossing the midline.
Not even close.

This is an example of how cute Lex is sitting and playing with the alligator. Oh, did I mention the sitting? Yes, he is able to do that unsupported now. Yes, I am a proud mama chatting about her baby doing everyday things that every baby does.
