4 months...4 more months till Alex turns the big ONE. He has been a busy little boy this month...so far he has mastered the art of pulling up to standing and is now working on "cruising" along furniture. His two top teeth are coming in slowly but surely. He has also mastered the art of finger foods. He loves to eat his puffs and toasts. I am amazed at the dexterity of his little fingers. But again, he learns from the best :) The clouds and the rain are finally being pushed away by the sun...yes...I can get out of the house again! Alex and I have been taking advantage of the nice weather and have been taking our daily walks again.
We were very saddened by the tragic events that unfolded in Virginia Tech on Monday morning. I am praying for the families and friends of the victims and hope that their hearts will heal in time. It seems that with every tragic event people are desperately trying to put the blame on someone---guns, hospitals, doctors, television, movies, etc. I don't think stricter gun laws or tamer movies will prevent someone from killing. I believe that we must take action on our own and do what we can do within our realm. Being kind, compassionate, and reaching out to people who are in need. There is a young Korean boy who lives a couple of houses away from me and he recently told me about the abuse he has been taking since Monday. Bullies have been tormenting him even in his own home. It upsets me that such a tragic event begets more hatred than creating kindness. We need to teach children that their actions can be detrimental to a person's wellbeing. We need to start in our own home before we can start fixing the big picture.
On a lighter note...here's some pictures of Alex!
