Sitting up!

Alex sitting up! He learned yesterday - sitting in the sand, Ben
holding him watching the Aquarium together, and finally sitting all by
himself.

Uncle Sly Dog and Growing Up

Today Uncle Sly Dog wore baby Alex in the bjorn - for most of the day! Alex was quite pleased, and so were his parents. Sly Dog (Steve) is the best uncle ever.

I also realized today that Alex is getting much more sturdy - so much so, that I occasionally leave him and Ben together for a moment at a time not in eyesight. Alex is starting to hold his own and is growing up.

Gears, Gears, Gears

Alex has been fascinated watching Ben play with his magical gear game (think lots of spinning gears, noise and bells, and colors galore). Today I left Alex in the middle of the rug for a few minutes when I went to help Ben. When I got back he had rolled over, scooted himself forward a few feet, and in a final magical lunge - turned ON the button for the gear game. I think he looked more surprised at his feat than pleased this time.
