Uncle John, Chicken

Alex enjoyed hanging out with Uncle John last night while Mom and Dad went to an event with friends. He had so much fun he slept for over 12 hours.

Alex also tried chicken for the first time yesterday. It was pureed with apples and Alex really enjoyed eating it. Unfortunately, his stomach wasn't used to all the protein and he threw it all up in dramatic fashion 40 minutes later. We will give him a day or two to build up digestive enzymes and then try again.

Old Pals

Alex got to see his old pals from Peps this week. Everyone is so big now including some that crawl.

Alex also had a fun week at daycare where he did some crafts and is socializing more with the babies. He is just starting to sit up which gives him a whole new perspective. He can't sit up on his own, but if someone sits him up and sticks a pillow behind him, he'll usually stay that way. We did have our first "accident report" at daycare on Thursday where he fell forward and bumped his head on a toy.

Here's a video of Alex talking and trying to roll over. He likes to play under the coffee table.

Alex is excited because Uncle John is coming to visit today.

Another Fun Day

Alex had a really good day at daycare. Mom stopped in for a visit at lunchtime and he was the only baby not crying. He had just finished a "surprise valentine's day craft project". We look forward to seeing what it is. At daycare they're going to give him more tummy time propped up on the boppy pillow. That will give him more exercise of his neck and arm muscles to help him start to roll over and eventually crawl.

All smiles

Alex had a lot of things to say this weekend. He is babbling constantly and is very smily and happy all the time. The only time he got mad this weekend was when we tried to feed him banana and canteloupe. For some reason, he prefers vegetables.

February 1

Alex had a good week at school and home. He is sitting up on his own more and more. He needs supervision when he sits because he has a tendency to lean back quickly. He rolls over tummy to back at will most of the time. He is still very close to rolling over back to tummy but he has not done it yet.

His sleeping has been very good the last week. It has been cold in Seattle so he has a special heater in his room to keep him warm and snug. His cold is completely gone. He is probably close to the weight he was at before the RSV virus because he has been eating so much.
