His first Christmas tree!

Santa Clause is Coming to Town!

video bummer

Well, I was going to post the adorable video we took of our little man playing with his feet while sleeping and then kicking like a dog having a hunting dream.  This blog won't let me add video anymore, so I emailed them to several of you.  If you didn't get it and want to see it, leave me a comment and I will send it to you.

He's Free Indeed!

After much agonizing debate, Alex has been weaned from the burritto-style swaddle blankets.  He has had quite a time trying to control his arms enough to let him sleep.  He will rub his eyes when sleepy, and doesn't seem to know how to make it stop.  It is quite funny. 

This also means that he needs a blanket to keep him warm.  When using a regular blanket, he kicks it off at night and pulls it up over his face to chew on.

Ready or not

Well, the doctor okayed forAlex to start solids at 4 months, so we tried.  and tried, and tried again.  He hates everything!  He will cry when the spoon comes close to his mouth.  I guess he is not ready yet.  I know it is still early, he is only 5 months and we still have plenty of time.

What he is ready for is sitting!  Look at these pictures.  I tried sitting him up and not holding him, and he stayed for three whole seconds!  Since then, about a week, daycare and I have been working on this new found talent.  I am so excited to see all the new things he can do.

Anyone else love me enough to follow?

Please help me feel special.  I will follow on yours.
