Alexander started walking today, first 9 steps, then 19, then 26 and then 25. I haven't had much luck uploading video, but it seems to work today!

Day 415
September 29th
Wonderful sunny day.
Alexander dissapearing into Emma's room. He discovered her desk, which has four drawers packed with objects not suitable for small children.
Mommy is putting in a good effort to be more entertaining than those drawers!

Day 414
September 28th
Alexander wanted to be very close to Mommy today.
He grabs on to my legs and walks around with me. He giggles when I take small quick steps, tapping the floor, and he follows after me.
Of course, being carried is even better!

Day 411
September 25th
Alexander has started SCREECHING at mealtimes, he wants to have everything on the table including sharp and breakable items! He has learned that my tea is hot, I've let him touch my tea mug, and he will take a finger and look at me and poke my cup and quickly withdraw his finger.
I like how Alexander positions his thumb when he drinks his milk.
Another typical Alexander picture.
Happy.

Day 410
September 24th
Fall is here along with some viruses. Alexander, Emma, Isaac, and Mommy have had mild colds. Alexander alternated between happy and sad throughout the day, slept more than usual, and wanted to be very close to Mommy.
Mommy and Alexander wrestled with each other.
More peek a boo.

Day 409
September 23rd
Alexander had a nice bath, he played for a long time, until the water got cold. Afterward he sat on my lap wrapped up in a big towel.
Then he spotted the basil plant on the kitchen table and wanted to try it. Interesting and yummy!

Day 408
September 22nd
Playing with Daddy's old record player is fun. Buttons to push and knobs to turn.
Late night "I'll prove to you all that I'm not tired" gymnastics.
He did this move about 20 times; stick tongue out and arch back to look at the light, then straighten up to a stand. When he stands he has a pleased look on his face.

Alexander helping (ha ha) with putting away some of Lasse's Lego.
Emma came home and fixed Alexander's hair. She really enjoys fixing her own hair and has gotten very good at putting it up into different styles.

Another fall day at the park. Lasse took a picture using the timer.
Alexander wanted to hold his hand most of the time.
Raking sand.

Day 405
September 19th
We had fun at the park early Sunday morning. This was the first time that Alexander tried this climbing structure. He had fun for a while, but then his feet got caught in the holes and he got frustrated.
Mommy is hiding behind a pole.
Picked up stuff off the ground.
Alexander enjoys taking baths. He plays with the water and throws toys out of the bathtub and doesn't mind having his hair washed and rinsed.

Day 404
September 18
Alexander is doing well on one nap per day. He might still have a 10-15 minute rest around 9 am, but doesn't fall into a deep sleep. When he gets tired he bangs his forehead on the floor, we hope that stops soon!
Today, Isaac put Alexander in his walker wagon. Alexander thought it was fun, but didn't like it when Isaac stopped the ride.

September 17th
Not sick, but was in a serious mood today. Plenty of drool. We can always blame the molars which will break through the gums anyday now.
I put the King on some blocks and
Alexander took him off without knocking them down.

Day 402
September 16th
We went to the park and it started to rain. Alexander enjoyed the swing anyway, and it soon stopped raining. We went to the library and did a puzzle and watched 10 pre school children select books.
Future ballett dancer?
Playing with Isaac
Emma tries to teach Alexander to stick out his tongue.

Day 401
September 15th
Alexander loves this balance disk (?) and he spins various objects on it. Today I asked, "does the sock want to spin"? and he crawled over and put it on there.
Telling me that he wants me to pick him up.
Zzzz.

Day 400
September 14th
Alexander certainly has regained appetite. Today he ate a large portion of oatmeal at 7 am, then had a whole banana at 9 am, lunch at 11 am, nursed at 1 pm, had yoghurt with puffed rice at 3 pm, a large dinner at 6 pm, a big serving of oatmeal at 8:30 pm, and nursed at 9 pm.
We went to an "open play school" at the local church; parents + babies getting together to play, snack, and sing songs. There was a big wooden triangle with mirrors on the inside. Alexander was entertained.
