Live and Learn

We're figuring some things out around here. Alex is learning that he can (sometimes) get himself out of the predicaments he creates. Tilt your head left and see the video.



I am learning that peanut butter sandwiches can provide sufficient nutrition and will satisfy Alex (and, hence, Mommy) at every meal. See the photo.

Bonnie & Clyde have nothing on him!

Alex has taken to stealing things.

Armed only with a devilish grin, he has used his walker as a get away car after stealing spoons out of the dishwasher, the remote control off of the coffee table, and Lili's toy right out of her mouth. This afternoon, after his nap, I found a ball point pen in his crib-- pickpocketed from his father's scrubs, no doubt!

He usually brandishes his prize high in the air. But, even when he's hiding it (as he always does with the remote control), he gives himself away. He can't stop laughing once he's absconded with the item!

What a rascal!

The New Toy

Alex is having a big time playing on his new fire engine that his babysitter Patricia brought him. He thinks it is just great-- almost as good as a phone or a remote control. :)

Uh, Mom, can I get a little help here?

Alex has been finding himself stuck in the most inconvenient places lately.

I love the picture of him getting a toy out of the basket. It reminds me of a scene in Winnie the Pooh, the one where Pooh is stuck 1/2 in and 1/2 out of his den.
