It's been a while...

First, my apologies to our family for not blogging in a while. It has been a busy few weeks. Here are some new pics and a video of Alex. I'll also do another post after this of all videos (I have a lot of funny ones). It's been a fun couple of weeks until last night when another ear infection kicked in. I took him to the doctor first thing this morning and we're on the road to recovery but it could be another long night tonight. On Sept 6th, Marc and I went up to Pittsburg to watch the Steelers' home opener against the Texans. We had a lot of fun and Alex got to have a sleepover with Aunt Megan and Uncle Michael (his Godparents). He also got to go see Grandpa Bob and Grandma Katie. He had a lot of fun and I think he wore everyone out! I hope everyone is enjoying the arrival of Fall. We're enjoying the cool weather here in Virginia. Love, Carrie

Here is Alex exploring at Bob and Katie's house, giving a good chase to Uncle Michael.
Lap time with Aunt Megan!
Chillin' on the couch with Uncle Michael...
Who IS that handsome young lad?
Alex now takes big boy baths in the tub and he likes it. I got the froggie toy holder that I wanted for only $15 at one of the extravagant consignment sales here in VA.

Bring on the snacks mom....
All tuckered out in his new car seat after a busy day at daycare. Look at those chipmunk cheeks!
Playing with his new toy boat from Grammy.
I bought this awesome LT table from Craig's List and Alex likes to climb over the top and back down again, repeatedly. We have pretty much taught him to get down by going feet first, although it's not perfected yet (see video). "Reading" a new book he got from the Neptuns for his birthday.

Alex loves sitting at his table! He definitely knows it's his table b/c it's just his size!

This is Alex enjoying a ride in his new car the day of his party, 31 August. He LOVES to be pushed around the house in it, lap after lap....we're pooped.
