4 Months!

Ready for a walk with Mom

Watching TV with Dad

Alex celebrated his four month birthday on Sunday. He had his latest check up on Wednesday and everything looks good. He now weighs 12 pounds, 12 ounces and is 24 and 3/4" long. Here are a few pictures from this weekend.

Last weekend we made a trip to Milwaukee so Alex could meet a bunch of family he has never met before. We stopped in Madison for lunch on the way down to meet Mac, Philip, Kari, and Pierson. Then on the way back we stopped at Andy's parents house so Alex got to see Grandma and Grandpa Ausman for a little while. It was a fun filled trip. Alex got a little sick of his car seat by the end but he was certainly a champ throughout the weekend.

Drool

Check out Alex's shirt. It almost looks like he is wearing a bib but it's just wet from drool. Perhaps it's time to start wearing bibs all of the time. Alex seems a little distressed in this video. Maybe he's just not ready to face the fact that he has reached the super drool stage in his life. Even a little upset and full of drool, we still think he is pretty cute!

First Walk

Alex's daycare provider was sick on Monday so Mom and Alex were "forced" to stay home and enjoy the 60 degree weather. It was the warmest day since Alex was born so we took advantage and went for a walk to the park. Sad to say it was the first walk Alex has been on outside thanks to the wonderful Minnesota winter. It was a bit windy but it was certainly nice to finally get outside!

Happy Birthday, Lucia!

Lucia was not such a fan of her cake

We went to Lucia's first birthday party on Saturday. We were excited to finally meet her and Alex enjoyed taking in all of the excitement. He was looking pretty sharp in his Wrangler jeans and button down shirt.

Fun With Visitors

One of Alex's new tricks is to give "fist bumps" but he

doesn't have a lot of control of where his hand goes yet.

This one ended up giving Dad a pop in the nose.

Last weekend we had lots of fun with visitors. Grandma and Grandpa Ausman came down for the day on Sunday. We were also excited to get to see our friends Philip, Kari, and Pierson. Alex and Pierson had fun playing with toys and Rosco loved the extra attention.

3 Months!

What a face!

Reaching for those feet

Even though Alex did not get a birthday last month, he is now over 3 months old. We can't believe how fast the time has gone and how big he has gotten lately. He is now fitting into many of his 3-6 month clothes. His latest adventures include sucking on his index finger and making attempts to get his feet. He hasn't quite gotten a hold of them yet but I'm sure the time will come soon.
