Alex is really enjoying his trip to Minnesota. He is fascinated by the snow, the fish tank, and all the holiday lights. The airplane flight went pretty well, although the boarding process was a little traumatic. We had to wake him to go through security so he was out of sorts. Then he got a nose bleed and wouldn't stop crying. But, he fell asleep once the plane doors were closed and didn't have any problems after that.
The first night in Minnesota, Alex went to the Holidazzle parade. He was very cute bundled up for the very cold temperature. Unfortunately, he slept through most of the parade. Yesterday he went to a fancy restaurant for brunch and was very well behaved - he even sat on Santa's lap and gave lots of smiles and sucked on Santa's hand. He also went to the conservatory and zoo for the first time. He really liked the fish and the baby monkeys. Mostly, Alex has been hanging out with all of his relatives. He loves smiling and being held and has had a lot to say to everyone. So far, he has spent a lot of time with Grandpa Stewart, Grandma Jane, Grandma Brady, Aunt Emily, Cousin Diane, and Aaron. Last night he had dinner with the extended family - Jean, Dan, Colleen, Maggie, Claire, Erin, and Warren. He also got to meet a number of dogs and didn't mind being licked.
