Arrrrrrrrrrrggggghhhh!

This weekend we went to Myrtle Beach to see Nana for Valentines Day and had a great trip. Scotty took us out to Drunken Jacks for dinner in Murrells Inlet. Alex passed out in his high chair...drunk on Milk - so we propped him in the corner and enjoyed our complementary Champagne and Seafood.

Alex also spent time in the indoor pool...and he loved it. He passed out in the car on the way back to the house.

And I think teething has officially set in...he was cranky most of the weekend and I feel a big hump on his bottom gum line. Wish us luck! I hope it breaks through quick!!!

EDIT: You can see two teeth...the bottom two, the left one is the one you can see the most...and I forgot to add this earlier...its official, he likes his "DaDa" best. He said it this weekend.

Feels Like Springtime

It was such a pretty Saturday that we played outside for a while. Well Alex played while we washed the car...but he really enjoyed being outside. Valentines weekend we are heading to Myrtle Beach to see Nana, so we picked up some Swim Diapers and a bathing suit today for him, we plan on going in the indoor pool while we are down there. Should be fun!

Sleepy Time

This is how I find Alex most mornings, with Scruffy the dog sleeping with him - arms stretched out wide, hair sticking up and not a care in the world.

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
