Lex has changed so much in just the last couple of weeks.  I guess turning one has gone to his head, because he definitely is much more independent and opinionated!  His favorite activity is “cruising” around the furniture and he wants to stand on his own (although his parents still have to be ready to catch him when he randomly falls backwards).  

Today Lex was pretty cranky.  He’s working on getting his fourth tooth (which explains why he is now biting mommy!) and I think he’s also still recovering from his vaccines.  It was a refreshing distraction tonight when Gabby came over to play.  We babysat her for a couple hours while Eric and Loretta ran some errands. Lex LOVES Gabby and he instantly perked up.  She even helped give him his nightly bath.
