Lately

Alex is up to the usual baby stuff. He's gotten his first tooth, I've tried to get a photo of it but he seems to stick his tongue out everytime. He's also getting the crawling down a little better, he gets a few feet on hands and knees and then falls to the army crawl again. The noises coming from Alex change everyday, he loves to talk!

Alex and Graham had fun on their playdate, they finally can interact more.

On the move

8 months

Hi, I'm 8-months-old today

We live close to Mt. Comfort Airport so we got a view of the Air Show from our backyard. Alex thought it was so fun to watch The Blue Angels.

We met Grandma, cousin Mallory and aunt Melissa at the mall for a playdate.

At St. Simon festival. Although he doesn't look too happy in this photo, Alex smiled and smiled and smiled once we got moving.

A new game Alex likes to play.

Sippy cups aren't for beginners

Alex feels like such a big boy standing on his own.

Like Mommy, Alex isn't much of a cuddler but it's great when he is.

We've been trying and trying to get Alex used to a sippy cup and end up with the same results...

Although I hand him the cup so he can grasp it with both hands, one handle always ends up in his mouth.

"Will the water come out this end?"

"Finally the right part, but I'd rather chew on it."

As usual, I give up and end up helping him.

Alex will get these great, from the bottom of the belly laughs going and as I get my camera all ready, he stops. Here's what I could get though.
