The Happenings of Alexander

So I've been a bit delinquent in posting about my son. In about 3 weeks he will be a year old. Unreal.

Milestones:

-Finally started to crawl! (August 21st) This video is from the 23rd. (Daddy was mean at the end...)



-He also has been pulling himself to standing on nearly EVERYTHING.



-He can say doggie, duck and Da-Da, deliberately when the objects are in front of him. (Still no Mama! :( )

-He has developed new "tricks." This is what you call resourceful:



-He loves to splash in the bath...and the pool:



-He has been sleeping in his own bed for over 3 weeks now. We can put him down in the crib for a nap or even the night and he whimpers for a brief moment, and then he's out. I think he likes his new room... I think he likes his walls. :) I finally finished it at the end of July.





(The last pan shot is a little crooked, but you get the idea.)

Needless to say, the kid has totally developed his own personality and is really good at mimicking. (The new one is getting him to squint... I've got to get this on video!) Alexander waves to everything, when we wakes up, leaves a room, or truly goes bye-bye, it's so funny. He also gives kisses. Dancing and singing along to music is still one of his favorite past times. Not to mention he can always be caught reading his books...
