This Weekend

This weekend was the first one since the middle of January that we didn't have any plans. We were excited since we could just stay home and hang out with Mommy and Daddy. We did go do the grocery shopping on Saturday, but that was it.

That evening we hung out with Mommy while she did the dishes and cooked dinner. I helped her by pulling up the rug, just in case she decided to sweep. Alex decided to open the cabinets to see what was in there. He found where the cereal bowls are! Then he picked one to play with, then another and finally he had all of the bowls out. He even turned one upside down and was using it as a drum.




This is Alex with his innocent face on.




Then Mommy decided to give us "safer" toys to play with.



Then on Sunday morning we helped her empty the dishwasher. We're such good helpers! I like to just lean on it while Alex tried to get to the utensils. (Mommy says to let you know that she did take out the knives once she realized we were down there.)



Often you will catch me playing with my tongue. It's often hanging out of my mouth when I'm not laughing at something. Daddy was trying to get pictures of us with his A's hat, but this was the best he got.



Mommy made pancakes for breakfast and we got to try it. I ate a couple bites of mine, Alex just threw his on the floor. I don't think he likes Mommy's cooking yet, he told me he's going to stick to the Cheerios and bananas.
After all that fun it was time for a nap. Alex ended up on the couch with Daddy, so he got to have the A's blanket to sleep under.


Alex fell asleep first, and went into his crib. Once I fell asleep, I was supposed to get the couch, but once again, Alex woke up screaming. So Daddy had to put me in my crib and get Alex, which is how he got the couch. However Daddy didn't realize until the last minute that the toys were still in my crib, along with the comforter we pulled down. So he put me in the only spot that didn't have something in the way. Mommy had gone to Target, and this is how she found me when she got home.



After our nap, we ate lunch and got back to business at hand. Crawling!! Mommy was in her room trying to catch up on her tv shows she'd recorded, so the gate was down and we could crawl back and forth!! While we were with Mommy we found a Harley bag (must have been from Grandma and Grandpa!!) It was under the bench, but resourceful Alex managed to find it for us.



Then Alex got to be in the bouncer, something about how he was whining and needed some alone time. This is still fine with me, since I can go over and see him.



That's me crawling from Mommy's room back to see Daddy and Alex. You can't tell but I still have that cough and congestion from that cold we had 3 weeks ago.



I went back to Mommy's room where I can see myself in the mirror. I can pull up on it and laugh at myself. I can also get on top of Daddy's backpack that's on the floor. I'm trying to climb on things now.



Then Alex came to play with the Harley bag again.



Then we got to eat dinner, which I didn't care for. Then Mommy remembered that she had saved the butter container for us to play with and thought it would be funny to put it on Alex's head. Alex is in his diaper since he got his clothes dirty and he seems happier when he's naked. Mommy didn't care since it was bedtime soon.



Pretty much after that we got new pajamas on and went to bed. So that was the end of the fun.
