So while we were at Red Robin we decided to see if Alex would like to try some fries.  Turns out he really likes them and he got just about as many in his belly as he did on the floor. :)

I thought that this picture of Alex looking out back was cute.  He didn't spend too long looking out, but I have a feeling this is just the beginning of him exploring the outside. 

At Red Robin again we were looking for things to entertain Alex while we were at dinner and he seemed to like this straw.  Alex has been doing this scrunching up face for a while now and we find it so cute.  He normally does it when he doesn't like eating something and he is like bearing his teeth at us, but he is doing now just for fun I think. :)

We started feeding Alex new items such as Yogurt and baby Cheetos.  He seems to really like both, and he doesn't like the Cheetos unless you give them to him whole.  Can't be cheap and break them up... oh no.. he needs the whole thing.

Alex and Link have been spending a lot more time together now that Alex is semi mobile.  Alex tends to follow Link around and Link tends to hover over Alex and see what he is doing.  Alex really enjoyed seeing Mike flap Link's ears back and forth one night, and Alex and Link seem to be hanging out on the floor together more often. Alex tells Link about his day and what he wants to do, and Link just looks at him and says "Sure kid". 

Today Alex took his first step.... stair step that is. :)  He has been observing them for about a week now, and this morning he went over to the step to the library and he backed himself over it, and tried to claw his way back up, but couldn't do it... so he just let go and he went onto his knees on the lower floor.  Then he crawled away and started playing with Links crate (which he loves to do). Alex loves to play with things that pivot.

I decided to see what Alex would think of a icicle and turns out, he doesn't like them at all.  Not sure why, perhaps too cold?  

Alex had his first bath where he was just sitting up the whole time and not sitting in his bath seat.  He seemed to like it quite a bit.  He can still splash so he's happy. :)
