April Update and Happy Easter

Alex and Travis play together all the time. I don't know who laughs more or has more fun.



Travis loves taking Alex to the playground and sliding him down the slides.



Alex is always happy to see Travis even if it is just at the end of the playground tunnel!




Alex has finally grown into his blue rim...Go Navy!





Alex can be a little stinker when he wants to be. He knows when he is doing something that he shouldn't be and when you tell him "No" he laughs and thinks that is the funniest word ever. We will continue to work on the real meaning of that word : )







On Easter Alex was such a good boy all day while I cleaned up the house and cooked Easter dinner and his daddy slept because of his work schedule. I gave Alex the bunny out of his Easter basket to keep him happy and then we gave both boys their Easter baskets when Jim woke up and Travis came home.




Alex really likes the Weebles that were in his basket...they wobble but they don't fall down...







Daddy showed Alex how to make bubbles with his new bubble blower.






Alex loved the bubbles....





Travis got a fishing pole for Easter and was out on the deck rigging it up. Alex was watching him through the window and waving to him. It was so cute!






We hosted Easter dinner at our house and celebrated Uncle Brian's birthday. It was such a wonderful evening. Our new living room furniture was a big hit. All the kids loved the swivel chair, even the grownup kids.



Hope everyone's Easter was as blessed as ours! Alex is working on cutting more teeth and his food choices are expanding. He still isn't fond of cut up veggies yet but we keep introducing them with hope that one day he will like them. He waves, claps, blows kisses and gives high fives now. He loves music and dances even in restaurants that have background music playing. He actually danced to a baby crying the other day...it was so funny! He says hi when he puts his toy phone up to his ear and he is starting to use sign language more. "Milk" is the one he knows the best but he is now also doing the signs for "more","all done", "eat" and I think tonight he did "bath" but that was the first time I've seen that one so we'll see if he uses it again anytime soon. It is so cool when he tries to communicate his needs to us even though he can't tell us with words yet.
