[/caption]As you all know, Alex tends to do soemthing new everyday. His newest "tricks" are cruising around and along furniture and feeding himself puffs and yogurt melts. He has become very skilled at holding onto the couch and walking from one end of it to the next. He also holds onto our leather chair, walks to the little table next to it an goes from there to the other leather chair. He's still holding onto everything as he walks, but we know he'll let go soon and take those first steps! Then we'll really be in trouble! Because of this, we bought a new snazzy pair of good quality shoes from Stride Rite. They were on sale for $12.95, which is an awesome price at Stride Rite. We actually had been wearing size 4 shoes on him that we got from Target, but we had his feet meaured today and he measured as a size 5! So we decided he needed a new pair, especially since he'll probably start walking in these shoes. He also starting feeding himself little Gerber Graduate puffs and yogurt melts just a couple of days ago. My aunt Glenna got him a little Cars tray for Christmas, so we just put his puffs in there and showed him how to out it into his mouth and he did all by himself right away. Now he sits in front of the TV with his tray on the floor and just watches TV and eats his puffs like a little man--it's the cutest thing! Not sure if this is a good thing or not, but Alex LOVES television. He'll stop playing sometimes just to watch! He's also just atrted to throw little temper tanturms, which we were defintely not looking forward too. If he wants something and doesn't think we're getting it for him fast enouh or if he doesn't want to be changed, he'll throw his back out and scream at the top of his lungs. I figure if he's started this young, the terrible two's are going to be a lot of fun! I think he's understanign the word "No" as well. His verdict on the word "No"--he doesn't care for it! So another week has come to a close, and we're gearing up for a fun-filled week ahead. Well once we get through Mon-Fri that is! We were soooo excited that our Ravens won Saturday, and we can't wait to see them beat the Steelers on Sunday! That's such a crazy match-up for me, because Steelers are a big team where I come from, but I have always been a Baltimore fan, even more so now that I have lived here for a a little over 6 years. Enjoy your week and go Ravens!

Eating his puffs
Giving us a big smile!
Another cute smile
Alex sure does love his ninny and his rockstar hair--no receding hairline on this boy! LOL.
Playing with the phone--with the spaghetti cat on inthe background!
Abe looked away for second and Alex was on the fifth stair chasing Oscar! Yikes!
He loves our cats--this is him "petting" Lexie
Playing in his corner
Not sure if we mentioned this before, but when Alex see's feed, he'll spit his ninny out instead of taking it out with his hands! I guess he figures it's faster and less work that way!
ReplyDeleteToo cute! I love that he is now eating little snacks and babies just love those finger foods! Actually, they arn't so bad. We tasted a few of them and they are pretty good! Before you know it he will be chasing the cats up and down your steps! I love the new pictures.
ReplyDeleteOMG that's exactly how and why he crawled up to the 5th step! He was chasing Oscar...Oscar was laying on the 6th or 7th step and Alex wanted to join him!
