Guy Time




Alex and Dennis had some good guy time this week. In spite of my reservations, mostly about sleeping (or not sleeping, actually) in one room, Dennis insisted that we spend a couple of nights at the Pensacola Beach Hilton over the weekend. I'm glad he did, because we had a really nice time. It was "away from it all" without being too far away. The Gulf was beautiful (though I did get stung by a jellyfish), and Alex really enjoyed the water there and in the pool. And, he and Dennis had some uninterrupted time together.

True to form, Alex demonstrated that he is a REAL Szurkus, sleeping in the oddest places:

1. On the beach bar. Alex is officially the youngest patron that the Hilton's bartender has ever had. Because it was the only patch of shade on the whole deck, Alex napped for over an hour, in his carrier, on the bar. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture.

2. In the bathroom. He couldn't seem to close his eyes when he was in the same room as us, just kept watching us through the side of the pack 'n play. So, we moved him to the bathroom. It made for a little inconvenience during those middle of the night pit stops; but it paid off. Alex kept his regular night schedule, and Dennis and I were able to watch our first movie since the little guy was born.

3. In restaurants. Alex has been to the best places in Pensacola. So long as we go after 7 p.m., he sleeps in his stroller through the whole thing. On this trip, he caught some shuteye at H2O and Hemingway's. I dread the day he gets too old for this.

Hey there. The girls love these pictures. Arleigh has requested that you post a picture of big sister, Lili. Is that even close to how you spell her name? Anyway, she wants to see if she really does look like Tucker. Arleigh remembers her as a golden for some reason. Pinch those cheeks for us, will ya?

Alex will be 3 months old this Sunday (Sept. 9)! What does he weigh now? What about his height? Where is he on the percentile? Is he rolling over yet? Give Alex a hug for me!

Alex weighed 12 pounds 1 ounce at 10 week visit- but growing and growing! He is 45% for weight and 25% for height. He rolls over. No problem- he LOVES hugs!
