Still Winning

Alexander also got weighed today, and he is a whopping 10 lbs 8 oz. YEAH!! Up by and ounce! Anyway. Things are good with him. He is now only up once in the night as well. And is a great little sleeper. Alex (Xander) also loves to be cuddled, but is quite independent as well. He will snuggle right up if you hold him, but doesn't often demand attention. Good thing because Liza has been demanding a lot ever since she has had to adjust to having only one parent around most of the time. Liza is now 27 lbs and hits the 25th percentile on the growth charts. We set up Xanders crib in "her" room yesterday and she was so excited, she wanted us to put him in it right away. We couldn't however because the mattress is still on her toddler bed. We are planning to move beds around in a few weeks, when alex is off the monitor and on a schedual. We told her that we had to take Alex to the Drs first and get the Dr to take away his monitor and then he could sleep in the crib. She was excited, so today when we met with a nurse, she knew that the setting was a Dr's office, and the whole weighing process was familiar. As we left the office, she asked, "So Alex's monitor is gone?" It was so interesting to hear her make that connection. They are smart little people. She is getting to that age when she remembers EVERYTHING!

Comments:
Grandpa: Great to hear that Alex is doing well enough to be considering going off the monitor and sleeping in a seperate room.


Funny Liza

Yesterday, Liza had me laughing. We went to play group in the morning. We all met a park, which we had a little trouble finding. Liza was participating in the looking for the park, offering her ideas of where we should turn to find it. When we arrived, she got out of the car and announced "I am here everyone!! It's Okey, I am here." I don't think anyone heard her as we were in the parking lot, but it gave me a chuckle.
Then as we were driving to the bread store she asked me "mommy, are you a dude?" I don't know where it came from. But she says dude, just right.
Then on the way home, for conversations sake, I asked her what Santa was going to bring her for Christmas. She responded with "A Sock." I said, "Just a sock?" And she said, "well maybe 2 socks and some toys, but just a sock."
She also mentioned yesterday "I'm a weirdo, thats what Erin tells me, that's what she said." Erin is one of Andreas friends.
Then last night she did one of her newest acts for a laugh, she pretends to sneeze. I guess you have to see it but she does the pre sneezing face and then fakes a sneeze, it's hallarious.
What a clown.
