Livin' Large

Just like all the medical journals predicted, there is a positive correlation between Alexander’s age and the amount of space he occupies. Sadly, the same did not hold true for his car seat, which stubbornly remained the same size since the date of purchase. Even with all the padding removed, it was too small to accommodate our novelty-size 7-month old. So, we got a new carseat.

While he fits into his new carseat just fine, he is rather tall to be in the mandatory rear-facing position. The government requires that he is rear-facing until he is a year old , but as you can see this position doesn’t all much room for him to grow. Until we can turn the car seat around, I am afraid travel will have to be a bit cramped.



It’s hard for him to lay back since there is nowhere for his feet stretch out in front of him. This makes trips longer than 15 minutes cause for fussiness. Longer than 20 minutes is cause for ‘baby rage’. Longer than 25 minutes is cause to pass out… followed by additional baby rage. (Baby rage, although often adorable, can cause temporary deafness and possible loss of singing voice from attempt s to quell the rage.)

Here is documentation of the passing out stage…


Alexander has a new tooth coming in. With 2 1/6 teeth now at his disposal, Alexander has become quite a gourmand (albeit one with a limited menu). Applesauce and green beans are great, but nothing beats a good meal at the Breastaurant. Here is Alexander chewing down a meal at the Breastaurant's leading competitor, The Bottle, and batting what appears to be false eyelashes.



Last week, Alexander called for a meeting with his grandparents. It was a very well thought-out presentation on the merits of “aaa-eeee!”


Before he could ‘close the deal’, his presentation was interrupted when a hilarious crab showed up.


Yea… that crab is hilarious, although not everyone ‘gets’ his humor the way Alexander does. It’s fascinating how his little mind works. In fact, we’re conducting studies right now to learn more about the enigma of Alexander.


(note what appears to be wires coming out of his head)

More adorable news as it happens.

Or... relatively soon after it happens.

I mean... come on... we have things to do other than updating this blog, you know.

(not really)
