Almost 6 months....with 2 teeth!

Well, I am having some issues with the MAC blog, so I will post here until I can get the kinks worked out. The mac makes it a lot easier for me to post a bunch of pictures at once, which is why I want to host our blog there...

Alex is a week away from turning 6 months old, and he is just growing leaps and bounds, both physically and especially, mentally! He is playing with his blocks and loves to learn how to make things make noise - by shaking them, banging them together and of course...putting everything in his mouth!

About a week ago, he broke his first tooth, the bottom front right tooth. Then, the next day, the bottom left broke the gums. They are growing so fast it is amazing. He doesn't complain much about the teeth, but he wants to chew on anything and everything in sight! He isn't crawling yet, but he is rolling and pulling himself all over the place to get what he wants.

Because he got his first real cold in the middle of the night, I took Alex to the doctor this morning. He was weezing and very congested, but the doctor assures us it is not in his chest or ears, so we just have to run a humidifier and constantly aspirate his nose. We had a little Superbowl party and it was Alex with 4 little ladies. We imagine that with all those little ones together, they shared some winter germs. So, the doctor told us that Alex is really growing - he weighs 16 lbs, 8 oz. and is 27 inches long!

Lots of love,

Christina, Jonathan & Alex
