A Lot to Say

Alex has been quite the chatter box lately. Here he is telling us one of his stories. It's a little dark but you can still hear him talking up a storm.

Swimming and a Farm Visit

Last weekend was busy but fun. Alex had his first swimming lesson which went really well. He looks calm in the picture but most of the time he was a busy little fish. Then we made a trip to the farm for the rest of the weekend. Rosco got to run around like crazy and Alex got to sit in the big truck and go for a ride in the combine with Dad and Grandpa. I'm honestly not sure which of the boys had the most fun.

Happy Halloween!

Alex had a good first Halloween. It was a little cold and windy but we went to a pumpkin patch during the day to pick out a pumpkin. Alex helped me carve it when we got home. He didn't seem to mind the goop at all. In fact, he stuck his hand right in to grab a pumpkin seed and popped it in his mouth. Luckily the seed was recovered before he could swallow it. Alex actually had two costumes this year. He wore Tigger to daycare on Friday and wore his cowboy outfit for a brief trick-or-treating walk to a few neighbors last night. I think the day wore him out as we finally decided to wake him this morning at 9:45am (8:45 with daylight's savings).

Tigger!
