Great Weekend!

Grandma & Paw Paw (my parents) came in town this weekend.  Bill and I had a wedding to attend so Grandma & Paw Paw baby sat Alex on Saturday night.  

This was Alex's first Halloween.  At school on Friday, they had a little parade around the neighborhood so I took the day off so I could push Alex in his stroller.  It was in the 50's but Alex was pretty warm in his ducky outfit.  Of course we had to dress Alex up as a duck!  He wore it again tonight at the neighborhood Halloween Meet and Eat before we Treat.  Approx. 50 families met in the cul da sac across the street from our house for pizza before setting out to trick or treat.  Bill and I got a kick from watching the kids ring our door bell.  Wouldn't you think that the people across the street from the party would be at the party.  It made us laugh!

Bath time!

Alex really enjoys taking a bath. He loves splashing around with his feet. Once he gets his legs going...its hard to get him to stop.

Inch Worm

Alex is an inch worm in his sleep. He starts the evening off parallel with the crib railings but ended up perpendicular this evening.

Double dimpler

Alex is a happy baby every morning. This morning I spent time with him before dropping him off at "school". It's market time so I have to work a little late so Bill and I switched shifts. Alex was too cute this morning so I had to take some pictures!

I finally got it! I caught the double dimples on camera. I love when he gives us the "double dimpler!"

3 months old

Alex is three months old today. I know I say this every month, but where has the time gone? It seems like I was just pregnant waiting to meet Alex. I enjoy watching Alex as he discovers new things everyday. You can tell that he is absorbing as much as possible. He has really outgrown the newborn stage and is really more of a baby.

This past weekend Alex officially got his first cold. I'm not sure if I gave it to him or if he gave it to me but we are both pretty stuffy. Tonight Bill and I will have to put a pillow under his mattress to elevate it. Also this weekend, I discovered that Alex loves to stand on my lap...of course you have to support him under his arms. When he is standing he looks around and really enjoys himself. He smiles constantly.

Farmers Market

Since Alex and I were up early this morning, we made a trip to the neighborhood Farmers Market.  Its just down the street and only has approx. 10-15 booths but we found some good stuff.  I got lots of veggies, some organic bread and a muffin plus a fabulous pumpkin.  All for less then $20.  I plan on putting the veggies in some homemade Minestrone soup.

Here's a picture of my two pumpkins!

Wonder Week 12

In my previous post I mentioned that this was Wonder Week 12 for Alex. Well, I LOVE this Wonder Week. It was a WONDERFUL night last night. Alex ate at 6:15, had a tubby then was topped off before falling quickly asleep by 7:15. He didn't wake up until 1:45am then again at 5:00am. All of this without him having a gassy tummy or grunts and groans. What a wonderful night! I hope this is his new nightly routine. Feeding Alex once a night works for me!
