Alex is now very efficient at putting things in his mouth. Which is very handy during snack/meal time. Not so handy during ALL OTHER TIMES. I have become very used to not having to worry about him putting random things in his mouth because for the better part of 11 months he did not put random things in his mouth. Oh how times have changed.
Yesterday he was sitting on the floor reading/demolishing my latest issue of Cooking Light Magazine. This is one of his favorite activities. He can amuse himself for quite a long time with a single magazine. But now? Now I can't let him sit with a magazine and try to get something else done. Now, he will rip pieces of the pages off and cram them in his mouth. Yum-o.
We were outside the other day and he was sitting on the sidewalk, happy as a little clam. I was talking to Travis. All of a sudden Alex starts coughing and sputtering and pretty much choking. He was trying to cough something up that was making him gag and almost throw up. Pretty much like a cat and a fur ball. I tried to get my fingers in his mouth to get whatever it was out, but to no avail since I was struggling enough with trying to hold onto this kid that had transformed into a clawing, coughing, gagging, velociraptor that did not want to be held in the downward facing dog position. Luckily Travis came over and fished out the cause of the choking. A leaf.
A side note of that afternoon outside...Alex found a stick and was waving it around like a flag on the Fourth of July. Aiden totally did a drive by stick stealing. It was awesome. She didn't even break stride. Just ran by him and snatched the stick right out of his fat little hand. He thinks everything that dog does is funny, so he just sat there and giggled.
