15 Months Old!
Latest Stats !!!
20 lbs 10 oz
31 in tall
It's been a while! We've been getting used to all the changes in our lives- Mom is in grad school at Drexel and Alex is at the babysitter's four days a week. Dad is doing his best to keep us all from going crazy.
Lots of new stuff to talk about- all of which is well documented. I'll blog what I can tonight and the rest will have to be posted at a later date due to lack of time!!!
Alex has started to feed himself with a spoon. Messily, but he's doing it! He runs all over the place. "If you're happy and you know it..." is the current fave- he loves to stomp his feet. Alex has 6 teeth and is working on 8. He's picked up some new signs: Daddy taught him "more", which he is now combining to make short sentences- "more drink" and "drink milk". He signs "lion", "elephant", "giraffe", and "hippo" now. Alex says "Daddy" all the time, and hardly ever says "mama" anymore. His speech has been changing- his babbles have become very conversational and expressive. You can tell he's picking up the cadence of the langauge. He loves bath time. Alex also loves to do clean-up. He dances while we sing the "clean-up song".
This is Alex's snot bubble. Pretty gross, huh? He's getting over a little cold, and today during dinner he sneezed a bubble that lasted an amazingly long time! Well, we thought it was funny...
Play Ball!
We went to watch Alex's buddy Gage at his soccer game (Mom had some child observation to do for class). We brought a ball for Alex so he wouldn't feel left out. Gage won of course, and actually made a really sweet save for his team as goalie! When it was over, we went out for breakfast with Gage, Nicole, and Steve. Luckily, Alex was on his best behavior! After we ate, the 3 of us took a hike in Valley Forge Park with the all-terrain stroller (thanks Myah!). Mom and Dad got quite a workout!
