June 20

Alex had a good week. He is looking forward to a family vacation in Utah next week. Daddy was gone Mon.-Wed. and Mommy was gone Wed. through Fri. so this week was a little hard. Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Felton for helping.

Alex has been working on walking, crawling, and his 'fine motor' skills like stacking blocks and turning pages. Here is a stacking blocks video.

Father's Day

Alex gave Dad a great card for Father's day. He had breakfast with Daddy, Mommy, Grandpa Felton, Grandma Felton, Aunt Ann, and Uncle John. He then went to the Woodland Park Zoo for the first time. Here is a short movie.

Stacking Blocks

Alex has started a couple of new activities this week:
-- He started stacking blocks. He has always been good at knocking down towers, but he started building this week.
-- He will 'commando-crawl' (crawling nearly all arms with bent elbows) about a foot. He still prefers walking.
-- He had his one year checkup and everything looks good, but we need to keep treating his asthma.

Minnesota Trip

Alex visited his Grandparents in Minnesota this last weekend. He also made the trip to wish his cousin Diane congratulations on her high school graduation. He had a great time! But, just before he left Seattle, he caught a cold and his asthma was acting up a little bit. Here are some pictures:



And some videos:

Going Mobile

Alex can scoot around now on the rocket ship from Grandma Brady that he got for his birthday. He has not quite figured out planning destinations as far as I can tell, but he has crossed the room a few times. Here are a couple good recent videos (we don't have a great moving around in the Rocket video yet).
