Our boy is certainly going through a lot right now.  He is crawling like a maniac these days (the traditional method, not just the arm pull) and yesterday he walked halfway across the room by himself.  He and I were hanging out by a dining room chair and the next thing I knew he pulled away from me and headed over to the coffee table on his own.  I had horrible images in my head of him face-planting on the table corner, but he made it safely!

Meanwhile Lex is babbling up a storm.  He says lots of mamas and dadas, but he also says something that sounds remarkably like “I’ll do it.”  Knowing Lex, that’s precisely what he’s saying!

He’s still getting over his cold (or maybe he got a new one?), so there’s plenty of coughing from the crib at night.  But recently we think he’s started having some nightmares as well.  He’ll start screaming about an hour after he goes to bed and when we walk into his room we’ll find him on all fours, eyes still closed.  But he’s clearly terrified of something.  It doesn’t take long to soothe him, but it happens pretty regularly.  (Who needs sleep anyway?)   

And finally, diaper changing has become an Olympic wrestling event at the Weaver household.  Getting Lex to remain on his back for any amount of time is next to impossible.  Here’s a picture of Tim’s latest brave attempt…I’m not sure who’s winning this round:

In other news, we made an offer on a house a few days ago.  Assuming that today’s inspection goes well, we will soon be new home owners.  Yay!
