20!

Well, I tried to update from my phone but for some reason, I could not type in the info, just the title. I couldn't even download pictures. Oh, well.

Alex is now officially 20 months old!!! That sounds so big to me. He has come so far in the past few months. Playing with his cousin, Zak, over Christmas time was a great present for him. They had so much fun playing together and learning from each other. Zak taught Alex how to crawl up onto tables and chairs while Alex taught Zak to scream. Alex will greatly miss his newest friend.

Also new is Alex's language skills. He can now throw things away, hand me something, or take something to Grandpa when asked. He can answer "yes" or "no" to questions. He can identify his head, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, belly, and toes. He can say and sign so many more words now I have a hard time keeping up. I got some simple books from my mom that have a picture and the lable under, one per page, and Alex is able to identify what each picture is when asked. His new favorite word: apple. He will sign it on my face when I am holding him. Very cute.

I really do like being here in Belton. I am spoiled with family here to watch Alex while I nap, shop, or just get lazy. We are slowly able to save up money to pay our debts, but it seems like we will be living with my parents for quite some time still.

The only thing we are lacking here is a good church. I know for sure that I am constantly comparing to our church in Buda, and none are as good to me. I miss our friends there and the weekly LifeGroup. I am praying that we find a church home soon. Finding one, knowing that you can only visit one per week, is slow going and frustrating.
