June 2008

He’s 15 lbs. and 25 inches. And he loves to smile!

So, we realized that Alex had started on ‘real’ food at 4 months, since he had been having rice cereal in his bottle since 2 months (bad reflux), so we figured it was time for Aaron to at least try rice cereal. eh. wrong. He wanted nothing to do with it. Which is good since the doctor said to hold off at least another month for food. Oh well!

Alex loves to cook! His favorites are shark and ice cream, for pretend (as he likes to say). But he does really help out cooking dinner- he loves to help make meatballs and burgers, a very hands-on process. And he loves to dress the part!

I know he’s probably really not teething yet, but, oh the drool! And the gnawing! And I swear I see two little bumps on the bottom gums, but…he’s only 3 1/2 months old, for cryin’ out loud! He’ll probably be just like his big bro and not get teeth till he’s 7 months, and just keep drooling away. Oh well! Until then, I’ll just be his chew toy.

A week ago we decided to take Alex’s training wheels off, but had a less than successful first attempt at getting Alex to ride. He did try, and while did succeed in riding a bit at a time, he didn’t really realize it. Yesterday, however, Alex did a great job riding, and we managed to catch a bit of it on video before the camera’s battery died. He’s very excited at being a bike rider now.
