These shoes were made for walking!

Hello all! Just a quick update with Alex's latest achievement! On Friday Alex took his first real steps without assistance... just about 5 or so. On Sunday, we took this little video of him trying it out some more:

And then today, he became really adventurous and took a tour from the library, into the kitchen, around the island, and back to the library... all without help! So... we've got our hands full now! But we don't mind. :)

Anyway, that's all... hope you are all doing great!

May showers.... June...?

Alex enjoys crawling in the lower area of the entertainment center. I figure I should capture it because one day he will no longer fit. :)

Link bath day. Everyone was having a good time trying out the new spot.  Not sure we're going to stick with that place, but it was good to try.

Too cool for school.

Yea, I know I'm one good looking fella.

Alex flipping through his baby book.  He is just tall enough.  Note the tippy toes. 

Mommy gave Alex his first taste of a tootsie pop.

I think he liked it.  And yes, he was able to get the whole thing in his mouth. 

We took Alex to a play land with a friend of ours.  He had a lot to do there and really enjoyed it.  

We decided to take Alex on the big slide, he didn't like it that much.  A little too fast for the little guy. 

He enjoyed climbing things.

And pushing things. :)

Alex was hanging out with me in the office when a storm was rolling in.  He heard the thunder and had to get up and check out what made that noise.  

So Alex has figured out how to go down stairs.  I didn't know this until I was looking for him and he wasn't on the 'upper' lower level.  Turned out he had gone down the step and crawled over to Link's crate, crawled in, and was hanging out with Link.  I guess Link didn't seem to mind that much.  He just looked at me like "really? This kid is going to come in here and mess up my pillows?"

Another day, another thing to lick

Alex was enjoying having the windows open.  I was a little concerned that he was putting his weight on the screen, but I'll just have to watch that I guess.

Taste testing his puzzle piece before attempting to throw it in the toilet. Alex loves going into the bathroom, climbing up on the toilet, and attempt to get into it.

As we were getting ready for the party this past weekend Alex decided to crawl in with Link and hang out.  Link didn't seem to mind too much, but Alex was COVERED with Link hair after.

Num num.... pankcakes

Alex and I went to get my tires balanced and he would NOT sit still.  He had to be up and running around.  He also didn't want to be walked, he wanted to get down and crawl, and as you might guess the tire places are NOT the cleanest. So that was an interesting busy hour or so that we waited, but in the end we got it done.

Baby butts are so cute!  Note the one handed walking.

Thank you for the car Nana.  I'll get the hang of it eventually. :)
