New skills for the resume!

I feel like Alex has just blossomed over the last week! It's all happened so fast! He has some new talents to add to the resume! :)

• We are blowing spit bubbles! I know, this is Harvard material right?! But it is a big deal to us. He looks like such a little boy, entertaining himself, making funny noises. It is quite cute! Just try not to smile!! This morning I awoke to a beautiful medley of noises over the monitor. That is a wake up call I could get used to! :)

• He can roll over from his back to tummy!! Last week he did it Houdini style when I wasn't looking and I freaked out! Turns out he was using his dangling toys on the play mat to help him pull over. So we started "practicing" a little. Then this weekend he started doing it without any help, and now he is a pro! I can't keep him on his belly! We were at the bookstore yesterday and he was very wiggly and getting heavy so I decided to lay him down in the isle for a minute (on a burp cloth and since no one was around). As I am looking for books, I notice he flipped over no problem! I turned him over again, and he flipped over within a second! Lil booger just loves it! He is ITCHING to crawl and making big headway everyday.

• He is really reaching for things! He wants whatever we have in our hands and he is getting better at making contact! :) We are gonna have to adjust to this new skill. He is also going after his toys more. This is another reason I think he wants to crawl so badly. He also puts everything in mouth. Travis and I had to laugh at him trying to pull the cloth block tower thingy (very scientific name people!) on his exersaucer toward his open mouth and not even being close- but the mouth was open and ready! Bless his heart! I had to help him out it was so sweet! I think he might be teething ?? We will see!

• He can also touch his toes! Its too too cute! I am excited because oddly enough, between holding his feet and blowing bubbles, he is quite easily entertained! :) This is truly a wonderful age where Alexander has been oh so happy to just about do anything!

I told Alex to stop growing up so fast!! but I don't think he will listen.
