Overall the first year check-up went well, until the end. Our doctor was really wonderful with Alex, as were all the support staff. I never felt rushed during the appointment, and really felt like everyone was actually listening to me. The doctor answered all our questions, and really falls in line with our parenting style. [...]

Tomorrow is Alex’s first year appointment and the first appointment with his new doctor. I decided that I wasn’t happy with his pediatrician, and thought it was time that we switched him over to our family practice. I love our doctor, and really didn’t like anyone I met at the pediatrician’s office we were originally [...]
Problem Solving

Aaron and I are watching Alex play with his Stack & Roll Cups he got for Christmas, and we are totally mesmerized by him attempting to figure out how they go together. He has three of cups, and just isn’t sure how to make them fit. He knows that the sizes and colors matter. He [...]

Alex is consistently saying hi and bye now. It’s really very exciting. Today, while we were out for breakfast, he turned around in his chair to say hi to the person behind us. It’s so clear, and understandable! I mean, he’s been saying dada and poppie and mama occasionally, but hi and bye are consistent! [...]
Here, This is for You

Alex has started giving people things. It’s really very cute. It started with him simply showing me things, and then the other day he handed me his shoe. From there, he’s handed us toys, food, blocks…anything really. This is actually a stage I haven’t looked forward too, because I know eventually he’ll end up giving [...]
Alex’s First Birthday

Alex turned one year old today, and I still can hardly believe it. It’s hard for me to picture my little man as anyone but who he is in this exact moment, and to think of him as a little lump of love he was in those first moments of life is difficult. We had [...]
Another Small Update

Alex can currently take small side steps without support. He can also squat very well, and rise out of that squatting position. He seems determined to figure out this walking thing any day now. Have I mentioned how screwed we are? Oh, and there are three new pictures on flickr.

Alex’s confidence in standing has grown immensely in the passed couple of days, that I believe walking may be imminent. He nearly took a step towards Aaron last night. We are so screwed.
Today Alex Did…Uh…

I think Alex has recently worked through some mental milestone. There’s nothing really specific I can point to that tells me what it is, as it is just a small change in the way he reacts to the world. It’s almost as if he’s more aware of things around him. I’ve seen it mostly in [...]
We are such stuff as dreams are made on…

As some of you may know, we’ve been having some sleep issues with Alex. Up until he was six months old, he slept rather soundly in his Amby next to our bed. This worked out really well for us, because he was near us but still in his own space. Then came the dreaded milestone [...]
