September...and we're busy

I've been ready to do this post since the beginning of September, but was having (and still having) difficulty in uploading one of the cool videos I wanted to share. It was Labor Day weekend and Alex was spelling away. Not sure why I can't download it. Oh well. I'll try again another time.

During Labor Day, Alex got to spend time with his friend MJ. I'm telling you right now they look like they could be related. Alex and I were out with MJ and his mom and someone asked if they were brothers. However, they both love Nick Jr., have curly hair, love trucks, trains and planes and are very smart. MJ will be 4 in November.

 

Big Guy Table! We gave the high chair away and I was tired of being worried Alex would fall from our high dining room table, so we finally found one for him. Charles didn't want to get a table that was too short and that he would quickly outgrow, so thankfully I found one where the height could be adjustable. If you haven't checked out wayfair.com for your furniture needs...you should. I know a few people who have been satisfied with their purchases and prices (including myself). 

Just Like My Dad! Well I put the table together and look what we have! Charles and Alex sitting down together. Alex had already finished dinner so he was looking at the iPad, but Charles was truly eating.

Just Like My Dad! One night I hear snoring coming out of Alex's room and this is what I found! I clipped Alex's fingernails and toenails as he laid right there. Then I nicely moved him off so Charles could get up.
 

Can't get away from dogs on the Whitaker side! While Alex is not afraid of dogs, he recently started watching them a little closer as in "I don't want that dog near me." So after calling Simba's name and even saying "move Simba", he finally rubbed Simba with Papa before we left their house. On his way to liking dogs...Just Like My Dad and Papa!
 

Well I can be Just Like My Dad too! Many people are familiar with the fact that my dad used to run down Hillsborough Street for exercise. Well I'm trying to get my fitness on, so on this particular day I walked (yeah I don't run) a little ways away from campus and thought of my dad. I couldn't do Hillsborough Street...too many people and sometimes I think people wearing dresses and tennis shoes were not completely fashionable. So I had to go another route. Hahahah!
