Vikings Fan?

We discovered that Alex's Vikings hat finally fits. Dad was excited and Alex was happy to indulge Dad. He isn't quite sure yet what the point of a hat is.

Alex tried avocado today and really liked it. He practiced his rolling at school today (still can't quite do it) and he had fun playing with Dad in the evening. In fact, he had so much fun that once again he wasn't interested in going to bed at bedtime.

Fun Weekend

Alex had a great weekend and he was sad to go to bed on Sunday. Over the weekend, it was sunny and warm in Seattle so he went outside many times for walks. Other activities:


-- Grandpa and Grandma Felton came over to visit for a couple hours on Saturday


-- Mom and Dad realized that he has figured out all his toys and needed some new ones. He got an exersaucer, a pyramid with shapes to build, and an alphabet song rolling wheel. All the toys were a lot of fun.

-- He got to play a lot with Mom and Dad and he is really getting good a giggling.

Sitting Up, Table Food

Alex had a really good week. He reclaimed his expert sleeper reputation with a record 13 hours of sleep on Thursday. He is sitting up on his own with just minor support. At daycare, they started to sit him at the table with the big boys. They put a few peas or cheerios in front of him and he practices his "pincer" grip, trying to get them in his mouth. He ate yogurt for the first time and really liked it. However, mom didn't like the smell when he spit it up, so we won't have too much for now. He went for lots of walks this week at school and at home since the weather has been clear.

Friends

Alex's friend Gabriel came over to play on Saturday. They had a good time.

Three New Movies

Alex had a great first Valentine's Day. His school had a party. He received many Valentines from his classmates, from his Grandma Brady, and from his Aunt Ann and Uncle John in London.

THANKS!
