It seems without the commitment of posting every day, I’ve fallen back into my regular posting habits. I think I need to set a new goal for myself. I feel as if every day is perhaps too much, as I’m afraid I’ll just write a bunch of pointless drivel. Every three days [...]

New Sounds and New Foods
Posted in Milestones, Observations, Updates on December 15, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Alex has been exercising his voice quite a bit lately. Not in volume (thank goodness) but in sounds. A couple of days ago he said “da,” and the following day he said “ba” and “ga.” Since then he has been experimenting with consonants and vowels to the great delight of all those [...]

Tomorrow will be Alex’s first professional photos. He and his cousin Maeve will be getting some Christmas portraits done, and hopefully soon we’ll have cute images for the whole world to see. I just hope he’s cooperative, because he was pretty fussy today. I am actually curious to see how he’ll do. [...]

I was getting ready for bed while Aaron was holding Alex. As I approached the bed, Alex saw me and actually reached for me with a big grin on his face! He reached for me! It’s the first time he’s done it with such obvious intent, and now my heart is permanently [...]

I don’t have much to say right now, except I’m happy. I really love this little guy who is sleeping on my shoulder and snoring lightly. Some days are tiring and difficult, but overall I’m blessed. Sometimes nothing makes me happier than simply watching him, and nothing lights up my day more [...]
Are we teething again?!?

So, Alex has been chewing on everything in sight, and I thought maybe it was just because he wanted to try out his new two bottom teeth. Then yesterday, he started the screaming thing he did when those two showed up, so it’s got me wondering whether or not he may popping out a [...]
