Miscellaneous Stuff

I recently went to an auction at a local co-op school with a friend and purchased a rocking chair for Alex that a class of 2 year olds decorated. The teacher of the class is also a friend making the chair even more special. Alex seems to like it but we have to watch him closely while sitting in it until he gets a little bigger. This picture is just a sign of what's to come when he is about 13...kicked back in his PJs on the phone : )

Alex has become pretty mobile these days. He loves to just crawl around and pull up on things and explore.

Since he is on the go so much we have to keep a constant eye on him. Travis is amazing with him. Who would have thought a 14 year old would be so interested in hanging with his little brother?

Alex has recently started enjoying his swing again. There for a while he didn't want to swing because he doesn't like being strapped down but the last couple of weeks he has napped in his swing a few times and seems to enjoy it again.

As I posted yesterday, Alex cut a tooth. He has been working on this tooth off and on for months and we didn't think it would ever come through the gum. He has been chewing on everything and is a fountain of drool. He loves to chew on the butterfly on his Johnny Jumper but boy it ends up being a pond of drool under him by the time he is done...

Alex says three things now...Mama, Dada and Buba...making me, Daddy and Travis (his Bubbie) very happy!

Alex has a push along toy that he stands up and walks behind on his own. He isn't very stable yet so this is only allowed under strict supervision! He loves to pull up and stand. He looks so proud of himself when he does it.
