Four AND Five Months...

Oops--where did the time go? I'm so excited that my photography business is doing so well--but it leaves me with little time to take ALEX pictures! He is five-and-a-half months old now and getting so big. He is learning how to sit on his own and "talks" all the time--no words yet, but we're waiting--and he has figured out how to throw things on the ground. Yea! His funniest talent is growling--actually growling when he's frustrated or getting mad. It's hilarious! He keeps us laughing all the time with his growing personality. Alex is eating "real" food now--well, the jar variety, anyway. He loves squash and sweet potatoes, but is not too fond of peas (check out the video "Peas--Yuck!"). He and Oscar are learning how to be friends--thank goodness Oscar is a patient dog!
Anyway--that's where we're at now. More next month! :)
Happy Thanksgiving!

Three Months

Hi! Hope everyone is doing well. We are doing great--Kevin is settled back in to teaching and I am really enjoying staying at home with Alex. He is getting such a personality and is so fun to play with and just watch him discover his world. He's getting so big now--no one believes that he's only 3 months old when they see him. He has learned to hold his head up when he's on his tummy now (which makes nap time a new challenge) and sometimes acts like he's ready to get down and run around. The next couple of months are going to bring lots of changes as he starts working on sitting, rolling, and teeth!
