Alex is growing so fast!

Well, Angie and Nannie came to town Monday afternoon and Angie could not believe how much Alex has changed in just 2 weeks. His cheeks have filled out so much and he is much more alert.
We had a fun outing yesterday at a Mexican restaurant in town and of course Alex was an angel the whole time, but once we got home, he had trouble going down for a nap. However, he slept from 10:15 PM to 3:30 AM!! What a champ he is. When he awoke, he was VERY hungry and he had a long feeding...then went back to bed until 6:45 this morning.

Alex is also showing us how quickly he is learning about the world around him. He has started to focus on bright objects like his lamaze puppet sock and tracks the object moving from side to side and up and down. He has fully discovered his hands and arms and even gave himself a little hickey yesterday from sucking on the inside of his arm!! This morning, Jonathan played with Alex and took him in the bathroom in his bouncer while he was getting ready for work. Then, he laid him on the bed because he had fallen asleep. When he came back over to the bed, Alex had turned over from his stomach to his back! We are not sure if he rolled over completely on his own or what since we did not actually see it, but we were amazed none the less...I am not sure I am ready for such an advanced little guy!

We are preparing for Alex's baptism this weekend and enjoying the bright, sunny days with Nannie in town for the week. We look forward to seeing all our family and closest friends this weekend!
