sweetness

i am better now, but Lexi is still sick. she's feeling better, but is still super snotty.
today, Lincoln was holding Lexi and he looked up at me and said, "when i didn't have a baby, my heart felt like i wanted to have a baby". sweet boy!
tomorrow Lexi will be 2 months old. i can't even get that into my head! she is such a beautiful, sweet girl and she's changed our lives so much in so little time. she smiles all the time (especially when daddy comes home- she LOOOVES her daddy [even though i would still say she's a mommy's girl- so far]) and she's starting to laugh more and more.
her newest discovery is how much she loves baths! she used to haaate them, but now she really enjoys just sitting in the warm water and having us pour it all over her. she actually bathing part, she's not a huge fan of- but the soaking part is great!
she hasn't found her hands yet, but i'm expecting her to any day. she can get them to her mouth pretty well, but she's never seen them (or at least focused on them). she did see her feet while she was taking a bath the other day, but i don't think she realized that they belong to her. she kept staring at them and watching them move like "what the heck are those things!?". it was quite adorable.
Lincoln has a new obsession with decay. haha, i know that sounds sooo weird but let me make sense of it for you. he loves playing games and watching videos on pbskids.org... there's a show called Sid the Science Kid (or something like that) and he talks about all sorts of cool stuff. in one video, he talks about how things decay and shows a decaying apple (and squishes it and it's gross). so, Lincoln suddenly became fascinated with it. while he was visiting Pops and Nana's house, he got to see some bananas that were starting to decay. then he went out into their garden and found a couple of veggies that were decaying. my mom then told him that our teeth decay if we don't brush them really well. that sort of freaked him out, but really got him to want to brush him teeth (thanks mom!). so now he's obsessed with decay and the fact that things don't just "get yucky", but that there's actually a reason they're gross.
i feel like there are a lot of new things going on but when i try to transfer them from my brain onto my blog, i can't think of anything...
i suppose they will come out eventually and result in new blog posts.
