Alex continues to be a very good natured, happy, smiley, content baby! He accompanies us happily wherever we need to go. Some of our more fun outings this past month include the Milwaukee Zoo, Schuster's Farm, and Door Creek Apple Orchard.

Alex has started eating "solid" foods and is loving them! So far he has had sweet potatoes, bananas, avocados, apples, and carrots. We can't seem to get the spoon to his mouth fast enough!

Alex wants to crawl SOOO bad! He gets up on his hands and knees and rocks forward so it won't be long. Even without crawling he gets around really well with rolling, scooting, and army crawling.

Alex was sleeping really well until one unfortunate night when he rolled onto his belly while swaddled and so we had to pack the swaddle blankets away. He is now working on adjusting to sleeping unswaddled and it has been an adjustment! Naps are shorter and he wakes several times during the night. The good news is he wakes up happy and ready to play!

Alex loves to be outside. He enjoys sitting in the grass, swinging, going for walks, and of course stroller rides with his big brother.

 

 

 Alex loves to get his picture taken. Whenever he sees the camera he is always more than happy to look and smile :)
