That’s One Small Step for Baby…

Over the course of about three days, Alexander went from standing alone momentarily to standing for 15 seconds to standing for several minutes. He also took his first official step without holding onto anything. I think he is just trying to impress his dad since Tim is back from the movie. (Mission accomplished. Tim can only stand for about 10 seconds before he topples over.)





We went to a music class for 8 month – 15 month olds. It was a total yarfest. I could barely handle it. The instructor must have slammed at least a dozen 5 Hour Energy drinks before class. (According to my calculations, that's 60 hours of energy.) There is high energy, and then there is HIGH energy. She was a blur. The babies loved her, though, including Alexander. All the parents were a bit bleary-eyed and clearly struggling to interact with adults. One dad we spoke to spent about 40% of the conversation in a falsetto. But that isn’t how you talk to grown-ups, no it isn’t.

We’ve been having a Comcastic week. Our internet, phone, and cable have been out since Monday night and they literally just got back us back up. Stupid technology. I’m just glad to finally be back on the horseless typewriter surfing the interweb.

WOW!! I can't believe Alexander is walking already. We definitely need to get our two little ones together so Riley can take notes!

We knew the day was near, but wow, nonetheless! Life will never be the same, huh? We often forget how remarkable Alexander's development is, but on the Fourth saw another little guy - five months old and about nine pounds. You two have a brilliant child!

Thanks, Shannon and Rachel!

He isn't walking yet, so don't let my motherly pride overstate things. Just his first step is all...

Rachel - if only brilliance was measured in pounds. I'd be a super dooper genius! :)

Shannon - we can't wait to see you and Riley this weekend! It'll be a yarfest.
