Alex @ 6 Months
Alex just turned 6 months this past week. He is growing and changing so much every day that we can hardly keep up. Let’s see… not only does he loves to laugh and play, he can sit up on his own now, he can clap his hands, and although he can’t quite crawl yet- he can pivot around on his belly! Oh and did I mention how cute he is and how much he loves his Mommy [gloating]?! Ok, I guess he loves his Daddy too…

He just recently started solid foods- and oddly, he prefers his vegetables (green beans and carrots) over fruit (bananas, apples, pears). He had his first taste of meat tonight- in the form of pureed turkey- which he didn’t care too much for (can you blame him)?

Alex also enjoys going to storytime at the library every week with Mommy, where we sing songs and read stories with other mommies and babies (0-12 months). More impressively, he went to the “Daddy & Me Lapsit” last month (the more impressive fact being that Daddy took him there- lol)! Boy how I wish I could have been a fly on the wall that day to see Rich and his fellow daddies mouthing the words to silly songs they had never heard before. Truth is, I think Rich really enjoyed it. I know I always look forward to seeing Alex interacting with the other babies and getting to commiserate- I mean, chat- with the other moms!

Well, gotta go… Alex wants to play!
