Fevers

Alex has been pretty sick since Saturday, with a 104 degree fever, and off and on miserable. One of the things he's been doing a lot is whispering in answer to questions, which we think is pretty adorable. Alex do you want to go night-night? "Kay" Or when he wakes up "Breakfast" - in a plantative whisper....

Growing Up and Growing Out

As I write, Alex is asleep on our bed after escaping from the pack-n-play (after crying in his downstairs crib).

Alex is fast-approaching two, and big changes are afoot. The most profound, in mommy and daddy's world, is him learning to escape from his crib! We have Ben to thank for this in part, since Ben showed him how to get his leg up and over the side.

Ben and Alex are having more and more fun playing with each other, and although there are still moments of frustration, they love being partners in crime (today ripping into a box that was a gift for Dani, and hiding together for impromptu games of hide and go seek).

Alex rides a pedal bike!

He is still too short for the pedals to go any distance, but he got it
going 3 or 4 rotations by himself!
