Six Months






Half of a year, wow! Time is flying! Alex continues to bring us so much joy. I really can't imagine a happier little guy. It's funny to me that we can already tell so much about his personality. He is very gentle and tender hearted. He seems to easily get his feelings hurt and there are times when only momma will do. Both of these things are very opposite of Luke. It is fascinating to me that two children from the same parents can be so different but both be created so perfectly in His image. Alex just goes with the flow. Even when I think I've pushed him to his limits he's such a trooper. He loves people and attention.
He has adjusted to 4 bottle feedings a day, 3 baby food meals and two naps. He's sleeping great at night from 7-7. He will pretty much only sleep in his crib or in the car.
He still isn't sitting up. Not even trying, not even a tripod. If we try to get him to sit up he just arches his back. He is, however, trying to crawl. He gets on his tummy and rocks as fast as he can. Sometimes he'll get everything off the ground except his chest and rock so hard that he face plants into the ground.
Sweet, sweet, sweet and just happy to be here, that's our Alex!
