Aunt Megan Visited!

 

 

 

 

Auntie Megan came to visit Alex while on her break from college. We had a nice but mellow weekend. Derek & Megan went into the city Friday, then I got sick all of a sudden Saturday morning making me a lame-o most of the weekend. We did some walking around town, hung out at the pool, etc. Derek & I took Alex over to the little park near our house for a little while to show Alex the green leaves & grass. As his outfit says, "Life is Good." (See Photo Journal)

Ba-ba-ba-ba!

 

Our cute little baby was chatting it up with me while in his high chair yesterday. It was so funny! He was looking at me with so much expression in his eyes and just jabbering away like he was telling me a very important story, meanwhile, he was just saying "ba-ba-ba-ba." It was so great! I just looked at him and kept saying "Really?", "Yeah?". It's funny too because it makes his cheeks look wide when he does it. I finally realized I should grab the video camera, but by that point the moment was pretty much over. I got a couple little ba-ba's in there though I think!

We've got a Chomper!

Guess what everyone?! Alex cut his first tooth today! His poppa found it while playing this evening. It's his front right tooth on the bottom, and it's just a wee little hard & sharp thing sticking out. We were so excited for him! What a big boy!

Wine Country

 

 

 

 

Derek, Geoff, Alex & I went up to Napa yesterday and met up with our friends Dustin & Casey. It couldn't have been a much nicer day! We started at Artesa Winery where Casey works, and that's where one of the wine pourers wanted to hold Alex behind the counter...he's starting early! Haha! The views were gorgeous, and Casey even took us down below for a special tour & tastings! We then went to Pine Ridge which was also quite tasty and had a nice lawn with picnic tables to play outside. It was quite the nice day trip.

Alex is a Good Sitter

 

 

 

 

Alex is getting to be such a good little sitter. He loves to sit & play with each of the toys constantly littered on our floor. He's also, finally, starting to nearly sleep through the night! Hallelujah! There's been lots of talk lately about letting him cry it out, and I think he understood our threatening conversations & stopped on his own! He still wakes up a couple times, but so far we've been able to binky him & he goes back to sleep. We don't want to jinx it and hope it continues. What a good baby!
