Alex's First Valentine's Day

Alex found his Valentine's cookie from Grandma Porter more interesting to smash than to eat. He had fun breaking it into pieces and brushing them on the floor. He got one from her last year also, but I got to eat it for him, it was a lot less of a mess.

Alex's valentine from Grandpa Phibbs, he got the lion cub from him also, but Alex threw it just as the picture was being taken and then decided he was done sitting there.

Margaret came over after we put Alex to bed and we were able to sneak out for some drinks and dessert. Thanks Margaret!

First Deer Sighting

This is the first time (Tuesday) Alex acknowledged the deer in the backyard, it helped that they walked right past the window to get his attention. A few squeals were let out as they past by. They were pretty interesting for about a minute, then it was back to playing.

The New Hangout

This is the new spot that Alex is often found as he makes laps around the coffee table, getting ready to walk on his own. He is getting really good pushing his "walker" around the house, attempting to steer it on his own yesterday. It won't be long he is walking around on his own.

He FINALLY said "mama" today after his accomplished words of "dada, kitty, truck, duck, turtle, and all done". Yeah, somehow I was ranked behind duck and turtle. I won't take it too personal though.

Alex is 11 Months Old!

Only one more left to take :( Then I don't have a baby anymore.

Most of the pictures I took look like this. He just does not stay put for too long. (Barely long enough to snap a picture.) But, I managed to get one good one.

Two months ago I posted a video that I took right after his nine month picture. It was of him attempting to crawl. His ability to get around has greatly improved since then!
