Walking and Talking Up A Storm

A Post from Alex's Point of View:

Well, Mom has to go run an errand so unfortunately this will be short. I finally figured out what is so great about walking around, you can go so quick! It's taken me a couple of weeks but i have it now! Here's a (long) video of me playing and if you hang around long enough, walking and talking.

Enjoy

Looks like Photobucket cut off the part of me talking. I'll get Mom to upload a new one soon.

My First Concert

So Dad had a comapny picnic on Saturday at the Backyard. I had so much fun. First there was tons of BBQ, beans, rolls and my new favorite, PICKLES! Then the music got started and I danced, bounced and played for hours. I also got to party hop. Everyone was set up on the grass on blankets and I kept going over to check out our neighbors. I even danced with some of them. It was to fun.

Here's the video mom got of me. I know I look kind of crazy but she had to use the nightshot to see me in the dark.

I Love the Beach

Okay so I know Mom has been a slacker and hasn't sent any updates out lately but cut her some slack, she has been busy chasing me around. We just got back from our first family vacation. Dad had to work in Miami so Mom and I tagged along so we could check out the beach.

The beach was okay but there was this weird brown stuff that I didn't like at all. I think Mom called it seaweed. YUCK. It got in the way of all my sand. I liked crawling around in the sand, and kinda liked the waves, but I got splashed in the face and kicked up a big fuss. After that it was pool time.

I met a few cute little girls, but they wouldn't share their toys and silly mom had forgotten to bring me any. I loved the pool and the sun, but didn't care to much for sleeping in the hotel. I made Mom and Dad share their bed. It was a big ole bed, a king or something. Plenty of room for all three of us. We had four different flights ( two each way) and everyone kept telling me I was so good. They went so fast and I didn't fuss a bit.

Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Oh What a Day!

So today was amazing! I hung out with Mom and Dad this morning and since I didn't wake them up last night they were in the best mood. Then Mom and I took Aunt Christine and her boyfriend Justin to this huge old building downtown. I think Mom's gonna post some pictures of it so check them out. After we walked all over this huge building (The Texas state capitol says Mom) we went to eat at Poke Jo's. I took a nap on the way so I would be ready for my first taste of BBQ. Mom ordered me some chopped beef, green bean casserole and corn casserole and got some sliced beef for her. Well it was all to spicy for me. I took one bite of the corn casserole and my whole face turned red and I got so mad. The green beans were okay but the chopped beef was not for me. I'm a brisket man, so Mom gave me her sliced brisket and ate my chopped beef. I love BBQ. I even got a whole bananna for dessert. MMMM. Then we came home, checked on Dad and then headed back out to our neighborhood Homestead Festival (Mom should have some pictures of this too). Boy was that neat. The Homestead is real and was built around 1888. I got to see all kinds of old buildings, a stuffed buffalo and lots of people dressed up in old fashioned clothes. It was really pretty cool. I even got to sit on a pony for the first time. Well I hope you enjoy the pictures, I sure had fun doing everything in them!

and just for fun, here's a recap of Mom, Dad, the puppies and of course Me over the last 18 months!

Hey This Guy's My Size!

A Post from Alex's Point of View:

So yesterday we went to this party thing of Mom's. There were lots of crazy ladies and I got the usual, oh how cute, can I hold you, where's your smile lines, but for once there was someone there my size too.

Check out me meeting up with my fellow Little Leo Maddox from Dallas.

And more good news, Mom finally caved and started feeding me what she makes for Dad. I got Spagetti and I want more!

To Crawl or Not to Crawl...that is the question!

A Post from Alex's Point of View:

So I finally got two and two together, my legs and arms! I am mobile! WhoHooo! I have found all kinds of cool things the last few days. One is a weird pile of toys that Mom hates when I get close to. I don't know why since Princess and Sabrina get to play with them. I also found all these neat boxes with lights and numbers on them that Daddy FREAKS out when I get close to. And best of all today I found a bowl of water on the ground that I can splash and play in. Mom and Dad both came running when I got there. Today Mom got some good videos of me crawling all over, so check me out.

And today Mom actually let me feed myself. About time too!

Better Watch Out

Okay so this is the second time Mom has typed this since I just decided to help her out. Apparently I accidentally erased everything.

So Mommy has been slacking a little this month letting everyone know what I am up to, but don't be to hard on her 'cause I have kept her pretty busy.

I now have 7 teeth with one more on the way. Although this seems to have kept Mommy and Daddy up at night, I love it since it means I can eat more food. Mom is now letting me feed myself some of these Puff things and rice krispies. I even get to start eating chicken this week. I still haven't mastered the whole sippy cup thing but I do love to chew on them.

As for getting around, Mom and Dad had BETTER WATCH OUT! I am getting the hang of this getting around stuff. I can get just about anywhere scooting around on my rear, and from there I can lay myself out on my tummy and then sit myself back up. This has really made me happier since I can do more of what I want all by myself.

Check out these videos of me talking, scooting and bouncing up a storm!

Oh and as of today, Tuesday March 27, crawling.
