Been rambling on about myself a lot lately, just thought a little Alex update would be super.

So the little boy is starting to teeth a little, the lower part of his gums are starting to feel firmer than before, and it makes me kinda miss his toothless grins already. The way he is now, without teeth, reminds me a little bit of the puppets on Sesame Street, whereby they'd talk or laugh and they would be no teeth, just happiness. Kinda weird, but he's really cute also when you dangle him upside down, and his mouth opens and there's no teeth in there. Hmm. Maybe the teeth symbolize a phase I'm not ready for - toddler-hood.

The other thing that he's been doing with little effort is sitting up straight! Sure, you have to sit him up manually and he doesn't quite know how to lay back down without simply toppling over and giving himself a minor concussion, but hey, he's sitting up by himself! Sometimes he does this tripod/yoga deal, but he's really starting to get the balancing act down. Right now it's about the only way that we know that he's where he's supposed to be, because once he's flat on the ground, he'd roll all the way out the door if he could.

He's also moving into the next step in gross baby nutrition now, into canned mush. He's graduated from green beans to sweet potatoes to carrots. This week, he's trying bananas and I think he has yet to get adjusted to it. The faces he makes when you feed him the bananas are really amusing. Innocent disgust. I say that because most of us know how to make a face when we're grossed out, but the baby boy is acting out of pure instinctual reaction to his food. So it's kinda cool to see that disgusting things transcend language.

There's probably more things that I'm missing, but I'm kinda on the verge of fatigue, so this post will have to suffice! Corndog!
