August 8, 2015 (1 Year, 4 Months)

Alex is getting really good at walking, he still looks like a stumbling drunken sailor at times but his balance has greatly improved. He has even started trying to walk forward fast and has been testing his capabilities with walking backwards. 
 
Alex knows where his belly is and is will proudly show it to you if you ask, and sometimes even if you don't.
 
Alex is pretty good at eating with a fork, he still needs a little practice when it comes to eating with spoons.
 

Alex enjoyed our second campout of the summer. We camped at Stoney Creek RV Resort in Osseo with some of his aunts, uncles, and cousins. On the way we stopped to take a closer look at the huge rock formations at a rest stop and ate at the famous Norske Nook. We had a great time camping, Alex even almost slept through the terrifying sever thunderstorm that his while we were sleeping and collapsed our tent. Luckily we were able to run to safety in Aunt Jen's nearby cabin! 


Alex is very interested in fine motor activities, he loves to push pipe cleaners through the colander and popsicle sticks through holes in a yogurt container. Who needs expensive toys?!? :)
 


Alex loves food of the summer! He happily eats corn off the cob and watermelon off the rind.
