I Love This Age!

We Weeble and We Wobble but We Wont Fall Down!

Alex is FINALLY sitting on his own! He has such long torso and a larger noggin that this has been a STRUGGLE for him, but finally we have proof that he CAN do it! He is also starting to talk ... a lot ... at daycare they call him the chatterbox. Hmmm...wonder where he gets that from? Scotty. But no actual words, he says Dadadadadadadadadadadadadada and Bababababababababa and every once in a while he will make a sound that sounds similar to Mamamamamamamamamama - but if I had to put money on it - his first word will be Dada.

My What a Big Boy!

We have had some major changes over the past few weeks. Alex is now rolling, front to back, back to front, over and over and over again. He is almost sitting up on his own - I think his big noggin is holding him back from doing it - but he is getting close! He "talks" a lot more, and tonight at dinner he was mumbling and everyone thought he said "Mama"....Im not sure its what he said, but we are getting SO close to talking. Still no teeth - but they have to break through soon!!!!!!!! And he now uses a high chair to eat his STAGE 2 foods! Yep we have moved on to Stage 2 - which is basically a thicker consistency and they have mixes - like Chicken Noodle or Turkey and Squash.

We have also had a rough time too, we have been sick again. This time Croup and ear infections, so hopefully we have things under control again. I really want Alex to get better and get off antibiotics.

So now for some pictures.

6 Month Stats

Sorry guys, no pictures...my Camera is MIA - we left it Christmas Eve at Scotty's aunts so I'm relying on pictures from relatives.

Anyhoo - we had our 6 month check up yesterday and ...

Pictures Galore, Its Been a While

We have had a lot of firsts this week including first diaper rash, first day he went through 3 outfits at daycare (due to poop explosion and two spit ups) and first fever! So, after a long hard week (what do you mean its not over???) I thought I would upload some new cute photos.
