Busy as a Bee...

Alex has just been a social butterfly lately!

We had nothing planned for the weekend, yet we did a lot of different things!  

On Saturday Alex and I got up late (9 am woo hoo)!! We hung out and watched some Golden Girls and just played and read some books. Jason was working for most of the day so it was just the two of us. I started making funny faces and Alex really showed his personality and just giggled and giggled. He has a stuffy nose so he attempted to "blow" his nose but blowing the boogies out of his nose. His facial expressions were just classic.

It was pretty much a day of learning and experiencing new things. I put a blanket over our heads and we did "light and dark." He thought that it was funny to be under the blanket and was curious to peek his head out to see the light. Alex also discovered that he can pull things out of his baskets and make a great mess!! He would grab a toy (or a diaper) and he would shake it, then fling it to the side. We are also working on crawling. He was very cautious about getting on his knees, but by the end of the weekend he was making a lot of progress!

Saturday evening we went to our friends house for a play date! Alex got to meet Emerson (11 months) and play with Nolan (3 years) and Sydney (16 months).  When we first arrived, Alex was a little hesitant and slow to warm up. He sat on my lap and just observed! After a few minutes he was wiggling off my lap so that he could get down and sit with the kids. After just a few more minutes, he was ready to play with his toys! By the end of the night, Alex was trying to give hugs, kisses, and feel everyone's face!! He did such a good job playing and really enjoyed himself! I was proud to see him interact with other children!

Sunday was another day of fun! We walked down to our friends house and Alex got to play with Jon Jr. Jon took him in the wagon for a ride and everyone enjoyed themselves! That evening we went out to celebrate Grandpa Jim's birthday! Alex was a little fussy (well, maybe more than just a little) so we had to take turns walking him around the restaurant. Of course he had a messy diaper so I had to use the public restroom baby changing table for the first time. Thankfully it was a very very clean restroom yet, you know I was a mess!! We did it though, and we made it out in record time!!
