Sitting Up

Alex tried out a new chair today from one of Dad's friends at work. The chair is called a "Bumbo" and it is made for babies just learning to hold themselves up. The whole chair is soft and spongy.

At first he was quite surprised to find himself sitting up alone in it. He then liked to look around at things from his new vantage. He then got quite fussy, but that was not related to the chair.

Alex also went to a U of M alumni party on Lake Washington with Dad and Mom. Everyone was very nice to him.

Overall today, Alex was quite fussy and hardly slept at all. His spit-ups were very frequent. When he was not eating, Mom or Dad held him and kept him entertained with a lot of bouncing and walking around. We are glad that he seems so curious about the world all of a sudden.
