On the Road Again

Charles had to go to the Baltimore, Maryland area for work and Alex still hadn't seen some of his Maryland family so we made it a family trip.

Alex's parent's looking good!

Take Alex to see beautiful scenery and this is what he does...

Real Dads Push Strollers!

And carry their kid back to the hotel!
The eyes of innocence

Whoa parents, what's going on here?

You make me happy!

Meeting New Family

Uncle James, the family techie, already showing Alex how to use an I-Phone.

Cousin Penny, who thankfully didn't put us out when Alex started to oh let's just say getting a little loud in the car.

Not pictured - Cousin Aaron who greeted me with a smile when I arrived in the wee early hours of the morning.

Back at the hotel

I'm

So

Funny!

Time to go...but wait let's stop in DC

Martin Luther King Memorial

Enough already, can we please go home.

What's New with Alex

Alex is doing great! He's so funny and it's great to watch him discover new things. His hands are his new thing. He often wakes up and rubs his face and eyes like a grown person. However, he's a little aggressive with the rubbing and will even grab his hair. Then after he does that and realizes that hurts, he wants to cry like someone stole something from him. Sooooo.... we had to break out the "Michael Jackson gloves" as Charles calls them.

He is also having more and more conversations. While we can't translate yet, they are being more and more profound. He extends and emphasizes certain words, has a high pitch during some conversations, and it's just enjoyable to hear his voice. Go Buddy!

Guess that's the best way to sleep...Throw your head back! Even better when it's on dad.

See how many faces I make in a matter of minutes!



I went to my first baseball game. Even though my dad was playing, this is what I did 85% of the time. However, I was awake when he hit the game winning home run.

My new favorite toy!

I may have on a skeleton costume sent to me by Aunt Tasha, but check me out, I'm so much more than skin and bones.
