Happy Halloween

Alex's first Halloween was lots of fun. He was a chickie cracking out of an egg and Travis wore a couple of different things...a Blue M&M, a werewolf and another creature of the night.

Alex didn't seem to mind his costume. He only tried to pull the hat off once or twice.

When Alex needed a break from the hot Chickie costume, he was our little pumpkin.

Alex and Travis sat out on the front porch and handed out candy for a little while.

They both got bored rather quickly but it was fun while it lasted.

Alex Having So Much Fun

Alex loves to jump in his exersaucer. He gets a work out every day!

Alex thinks Travis is the funniest person on the planet....

Alex is almost 8 months old and is crawling all over everywhere and pulling up on everything. He actually stood up by himself last Sunday without pulling up on anything or holding on. He fell back down immediately but wow were we suprised when he did it. He still loves bathtime. Even if he is cranky from teething or being tired a bath makes him happy.



When Alex's hair gets wet it is curly...so cute : )

Alex has been sporting around several cute Halloween outfits.

He is our little pumpkin!

He also loves his mummy...

He still hasn't cut any teeth but he is working on them as hard as he can, chewing on everything!

Since he is close to having a couple of bottom teeth and is chewing on everything we got him some banana puffs that pretty much dissolve in his mouth but will teach him to chew. They stick to him when they get wet so it is kinda funny to watch.

Alex would also like to say "Happy Birthday Big Brother!"

I'm A Big Boy Now...

Alex is 7 1/2 months old now. He is working really hard on cutting teeth. We are still waiting for the pearly whites to make a grand entrance though. He is a fountain of drool most of the time and everything goes straight into his mouth.


Alex is crawling all over everywhere. He is happiest when he can just move about as he pleases.



Daddy is one of Alex's favorite toys. Alex loves to climb all over him when they play in the floor together. Here he had Daddy down for the count and is showing him who is the boss.


Alex is also pulling himself up in his crib, in his playpen, on anyone or anything that is within reach. He loves to stand up in the playpen at his Nanny and Paw-Paw's house because he can stand and chew at the same time, his two favorite things to do right now.

Alex has been busy helping his brother with Algebra too. Travis got an A on his test the next day...Yeah Travis!

Alex's grandparents from St. Louis visited and he was showing them how to use the camera..."See how cute I am Grandma"!

Then he taught Grandpa about standing and balance.

Alex showed Mommy that he is too big for the bouncy seat now. Guess Mommy needs to find something else to keep him entertained when she is getting ready for work.

The rug is soft like Bubba...see Mommy...

Alex surprises and amazes us daily!
