Spring Tease

Some milder temps drew us out for a stroll... Sorry kitties! Alex enjoyed a bit of "off-roading" over the piles of icy snow here and there, and now mom enjoys a new blister!

My Snowy Valentine

Still not a big fan of the snow.

Its snowin' again...

And Alex apparently does not think highly of it!

7 Months Old!

Whats New
sworn off the swaddle
loves to stand up and hold on
attempts to go from sitting to all fours
still signin' for milk

It's going by so fast...

Happy Birthday little guy!

Portrait of a Boy...

Who won't let me clip his nails!!!

Alex Makes Contact

Alex signed for the first time last night!
Alex was standing on the couch with Omar looking out the window. As I walked out of the kitchen, I said, "Peek-a-boo!" He turned around to look at me and made the sign for "milk". Omar and I looked at each other in disbelief. So I took him into my arms and he began to nurse happily.
We thought perhaps it was just a fluke...
but a bit later he did it again!
I put him to the breast and he nursed voraciously!
Hooray!

Fun With The Oktomat

Alex all bundled up in the backyard...








It has snowed 14 of the last 16 days
and only 2.2" to show for it!
What gives????

banging two things together
clapping?

Has decided this week that he no longer enjoys the bath.

No teeth yet... He sure acts like they're comin' though!

Be sure to check out the rest of the Oktomat shots on the photo page.

Good Eats

This kid hasn't met a food he doesn't like...














peas, carrots, green beans, avocado, sweet potatoes, bananas, peaches, pears, biscotti, tortillas...

It's snowing....sort of!

Alex got to enjoy a little bit of snow fall this week. He really seems to enjoy it!

And Dad can't wait to get him out on the slopes!

Alex loves to be in the kitchen!
