We’re in the Army Now!
It has been a pretty eventful two weeks. First, and probably most exciting, Alex can do the army crawl. I know it isn’t the same thing as really crawling, but he is that much closer. It has been lots of fun watching him scoot his way down the hallway in pursuit of Xena. I can’t wait to see what happens when he can catch her!
Alex has also been introduced the the world of food beyond rice cereal. We added sweet potatoes. I am making my own baby food right now, and it hasn’t been too hard. We’ll see what happens when school starts.
My parents and I also took Alex to meet my sister for the first time. Alex and I drove the 45 minutes to get to my parents’ house only to pile in their car for the 2-hour drive to Kilgore. Alex did pretty well in the car and only fussed for about 20 minutes. I think he had fun meeting Laura, and she seemed to smile and laugh at him. If only we knew what was going on in their heads!
James also took a week off the spend with me and the baby. One day we went to the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History. It was a lot of fun. We tried taking Alex into the IMAX theater, but that was too loud for him. He did seem to enjoy the planetarium show. In fact, he enjoyed it so much that he started squealing and I had to take him out about 5 minutes before it was over. We also spent some time in the Leonardo Di Vince exhibit and the Fort Worth exhibit. All in all, it was a great day!
The only sad thing is that I have to go back to work in about another week. Yes, the kids don’t start school until the last week of August, but my first day of inservice is on August 2nd. Oh well, I do feel truly blessed to have gotten to spend the summer with my son!
