My best friend, Amanda, has two beautiful little girls, a mere 6 weeks older than Alex. Amanda has been concerned recently about their obsession with grass--crawling on it, pulling eat, stuffing it in their mouths. I assured her this must be normal. But is Alex eating grass, she asked. Well, no, I said. However, shortly after that conversation, Alex began his own little obsession. He hasn't really eaten much, yet. But the crawling and pulling has begun. I can only imagine that stuffing his little mouth full of the green delicacy will be right around the corner.
