SCOOTING

Sitting on his own....for a few seconds

Happy Baby!!!!

So, tonight Alexander starting scooting backwards. I had him on his belly on his blanket and before I knew it he was about 3 feet farther away from me. It was really cute to watch. He then turned himself around and started back into a different direction. I know it's only a matter of time before he figures out how to move forward and then my life is really going to change. But I'm looking forward to it, he's so much fun to watch!

This weekend has been really nice. Friday I had a few hours of "me" time to get my hair done while Alexander stayed with my cousin Mary. And Friday night Chris went over to a guy in the squadron's house for a little while to hang out. Then Saturday, Chris took Alexander to the grocery store so that I could get some things done around the house and that evening we had some friends over for dinner. It was a really great night and we were actually able to socialize past 7:30pm!! Then this morning we went to church and out to breakfast with some friends. The rest of the day has been pretty lazy, aka wonderful!!!

I've attached a video of Alexander eating carrots. It's pretty funny. He has gotten better about it, but he still seems a bit more interested in his bib than eating. Tonight we fed him pureed sweet potatoes and he seemed to like them okay. No gagging which we think is a good sign.
