Stehekin

Alex had a great time on his first vacation to Stehekin. We had great weather and lots of good company. On Friday we left the house at 4:30am, so Alex was a little out of sorts by the time we got there at noon. But after many consecutive feedings and some sleep, he was as good as new.

We hiked about 7 miles each day. Alex loves to ride in the Bjorn. He looks around for a while and then goes to sleep. He also likes being held by all of his friends, two of whom declared him a "snuggler" and a "flirt".

Alex had lots of smiles in Stehekin. And he made a sound that sounded like a laugh. We are eagerly awaiting a second one for verification.
