Alexander Update

I was realizing that it's been a very long time since I've given an update on Alex, so I thought I'd just list a bunch of things that he says, knows or does....

Alex says:
Ma-ma
Da-da
Hi
eyes
c-cker (cracker)
nana (banana)
ice
ba-bye
uh-oh
up
nnnn (nose)
gock (socks)
boo

He signs:
more, please, all done, thank you

If you ask him, he'll point to his:
hair, eyes, nose, ears, tongue, teeth, belly, foot, toes

Things he does:
claps, folds his hands to pray, blows kisses and sometimes even gives kisses, waves, plays piano and sings along "Ohhhh", helps daddy strum the guitar, waves his arms to direct whenever he hears music, dances to music, crawls up and down the stairs, plays peek-a-boo, makes LOTS of animal sounds and gets EXTREMELY excited whenever he sees an animal.

And his most recent achievement happened on December 23rd... He took his first few steps on his own!!

I've probably missed a bunch of stuff, but this gives you an idea of what he's up to. He's such a sweetheart. He smiles at people everywhere we go, and he is always sad when people leave after a visit of any length. He's also my cuddle-bug. We love that he will hug and cuddle with us.
