Can't pull off moves like this in a crib!
And why do people buy kids expensive toys??? Alex was happy putting the straw in and out of the cup from some fast food restaurant. He is also having fun putting the tops on different containers or water bottles. Can you say all objects AROUND THE HOUSE!!! Works for us. We'll enjoy it now and save the few dollars for the real toys later.
His words are also developing nicely...bubble, cup and something we can't figure out. Sounds like bu-go-gi. "Wa" for water. He also knows where his toes, nose and head are. Still working on showing two fingers, but one and five are good!
Well I was anxious to get Alex outside during these wonderful days of fall, so I bought him a grow-with-me bike. I'm not spending money on little toys so just get the good stuff. We haven't been far on it because he keeps putting his feet down, but with these 80 degree days we will keep trying.
Thanks for the ride Dad!
Wwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeellllllll, we did it, we did it, we did it, hurray (says Dora the Explorer...get your Nick Jr. watching up if you don't know what I'm talking about)!!!! We got Alex the big cut! Just tamed it up a little actually. It was much easier to do since Charles and I did it in our own time and not according to everyone else. I was much more overwhelmed when I went and checked out a daycare center that day, than with his haircut.

So you're about to do WHAT SIR?
Dad, you got me in a headlock here! Am I that wild?
Not really...he actually did very good. No tears, just a little wiggling.
Having juice helped... (insert song, "I got some drink in my cup")
ALL FINISHED!!!

Although the cut is done, I'll admit that it doesn't look like that "tamed, fresh" cut anymore...wild hair is back!! It's ok, Dad kinda missed the wild hair after the cut was done.
Friday, Charles and I recognized that Alex was saying something like "apple". So we continued to say it and sure enough, the word apple became recognizable. Saturday morning, I took Alex downstairs and gave him an apple and continued to say the word as I fixed his breakfast only to come back to him and see this...
Guess those 8 teeth really work!
Sunday was a nice day so we spent time outside. Playing with the ball, bubbles and blocks.
Alex gets loud when he's outside.
I'm going to smile just in case I'm not supposed to be doing this?
He discovered dirt!
Being the cool kid that I am!!!
