Alex is officially eight months old.....CRAZY! Bert and I were talking the other day and we can't believe we are back to the puffs already. Puffs, meaning little pieces of whole grain cereal made by Gerber that Alex can EAT. So many changes have happened recently. Alex now sits like a big boy in the grocery cart and hight chair at restaurants, no more holding him or putting him the carrier while we eat. Alex wants to try everything we are eating. So far he has had puffs, cheerios, little pieces of a roll, and a few green beans. He still enjoys his puree baby food as well.
Alex weighs 17lbs, 10oz, and unfortunatley had his first ear infection last week. He is recovering beautifully, the doctor assured me it was probably from all the drool due to teething. Alex has his two bottom teeth in! He uses them well and gums everything else.
He continues to army crawl. He is everywhere. I will put him down on a blanket in the family room, leave to do some dishes, and when I come back to check on him, he is half way down the hall! He is also attempting to pull up when he is in his crib.
I think the sweetest thing about Alex is that he always has a big smile for you. If you give my little boy a smile and say hello he will 99% of the time return the favor for you. He is a beautiful, healthy, happy baby and we love him to pieces.
Last night we went swimming at Milestone. It was so much fun but nearly impossible to get some pictures. I managed to snap a few. Both Ava and Alex loved the pool, but wanted to stay as close to us as possible.
It sounds like Alex is doing great! He's a handsome little guy!
