Hide and Seek with Alex

Alex has been really into playing hide and seek lately - in a two-year-old style - which is boldly announcing where he is when you are looking.

Tonight we are visiting Uncle Sly Dog's new house in Williamstown, and Alex called "Uncle Sly Dog, come find me! I in closet!"

Celebrating summer with Max and Henry!

Proud boy

Put shoes on all by himself!

Summer in the city

Note the fleece jackets

Good One!

Alex's language has exploded the past two weeks, particularly since returning home from great visits to Illinois and Minnesota to see cousins and grandparents. In the car Alex returned a phrase he's likely heard many times from Ben "Don't want talk now. Sorry Ben."

Alex's new language really shined when he was playing with one of his favorite friends, Vincent. They had a blast creating games together all morning, including stacking a tower, and riding bikes on the patio. Alex asked Vincent "You ride back peddle car?" to which Vincent gamely replied "Yes" (though the logistics were a bit tougher).

Alex also initiated a game of ball. "You play ball Vincent?" and after Vincents throw "Good one Vincent!"
