Alex's Many Faces

We took Alex back to the westsiiide this weekend. That's gangsta term for Western MD. He defintely gets a lot of attention there. It's really funny to see my Dad with him. I don't think I've ever seen my Dad talk to or hold a baby until now. And he's hilarious with him too. I think my Grandma wants to steal him. As soon as we pulled into her house she was telling us she would watch him while we went to Wal-mart. We didn't even want to go to Wal-mart! LOL. She just wanted him all to herself! Alex loves to lay on her chest, probably because she has a lot more padding than me. As soon as she put him up there, he falls right alseep. I try to put him on my chest and he flails around until I take him back down. I also taught Abe the art of "mushroom hunting" this weekend. Around this time of year, there's a particular kind of mushroom that grows wild around the woods near my house, and my Dad has always fried them up and ate them. I love them! So, we set out in the woods below my house, and walked for about an hour looking for these little things, and all we found was a dead deer and some ferns. My Dad came back with like 80 of them though. So, later that night we fried some up with some egg and flour, and of course Abe would't eat them! I don't blame him though. They look kind of gross to the untrained eye. Just take my word for it though--they are delicious, and they've never killed me. On a side note--I has a phtot session with Alex this morning when we woke up, and he made so many different faces. He's a little ham for the camera!
