Daddy was quite excited when I figured out how to play basketball with the toy Santa brought us. Alex has it figured out too, however while I just use the balls that came with it, Alex likes to use the plastic shapes from another toy, along with the bottle lids and fish rattle. (And Mommy wonders where all the bottle lids have disappeared to!)
When we go to Grandma and Grandpa's, Grandma puts us into "Good looking Clothes" if we go out, usually to Costco! Grandpa lets us play with different foods while we're there, like the big stick of salami! But here's a couple of pics with our good looking clothes on, I'm first.
Then Alex.
In the mornings, Mommy puts us together in one crib so we can play. We like to take down the comforter that's on the back of the crib and throw the toys over the edge. We also like to play the music thing that on the side. Both of us have figured out how to turn it on. She tells us that we're bonding, but we think she just wants to finish reading the paper and eating her breakfast before having to change our diapers! We're onto her.
Alex isn't pulling up yet, but he can get on his knees, and is very proud of himself. And unlike me, he doesn't mind falling onto his bottom to get down. I prefer to look and out one of my hands down onto the floor that way I don't fall. Mommy says this is the first picture where she could see his new teeth.
Of course with getting on his knees, also means he likes to eat the furniture.
Mommy says Alex is going to be a great Spoons player when he's old enough. She lets him play with them while he eats, so he's distracted and she can get food in his mouth. And notice, he's got two of them, one in each hand already. Uncle Sean must have taught him that!
Alex hasn't figured out the whole crawling forward yet, but if you give him enough time, he can either roll or back up to get where he wants to go. This time he was going for a sippy cup under the kitchen table.
That's how far under table he really got!
Last picture. We had plastic spoons here for the baptism, so a couple were laying around, and of course, Alex managed to find it!
