Spring has sprung!

I am so sorry that it has been more than a month since my last posting. Having a little 7 month old really takes up your time! Yes, that's right----7 MONTHS OLD!! That's more than half a year! Yikes! The sun has finally come out of hiding here in Denver and is showing its glorious, warm rays. We have been blessed with such beautiful days that I can't help but keep myself out of the house. It was a dreary and cold winter that's for sure. But I digress, this is about Alex! What has been happening with my little man? Well, he's an expert commando-style crawler. He loves to crawl on our vinyl kitchen floor and loves to hear his hand slap the floor. He was very disappointed that his Daddy baby-proofed his favorite non-baby toys---the XBox 360 and dvd player. His Grandma Thomas visited him for two entire weeks and basically spoiled him from head to toe! Mommy and Daddy were spoiled too, what can be better than handing off the baby to Grandma at 6:30 in the morning? His Aunt Melissa even visited us for a couple of days and went snowboarding with the old folks. It was my first time aways from Alex for an extended period of time and was relieved to know that he CAN survive without me! I am relieved but a bit saddened.... He has been introduced to a wide variety of solid foods now, sweet potatoes, squash, green beans, apples, pears...all of which he is still getting used to. He does love sipping water from a cup! Alex is a joy and is growing up so fast in front of our very eyes. We can't wait till Mike's family joins us for Easter in a couple of weeks.
