Friday Update

I feel like summer's coming to an end. Labor day's a week off, and then I will go back to work part time and Alex will go to daycare two days a week... it's going to be a big change for us. I think he'll enjoy going to "school," though, and in some ways it will be nice to be back at work.

Anyway, we're packing in all the summer fun we can right now. Yesterday we wen to the beach at Lighthouse Point in New Haven. Last weekend we were at the beer garden with Amanda and her family (she took the picture above while we were there).

I just uploaded a short video that I made last week. Alex is a lot faster now but he still favors that style of "crawling" when he's on the smooth vinyl floor. On the carpet he actually gets up on hands and knees and crawls (usually towards Ziggy). In the video he is chasing a cat toy, pushing along on his tummy on the floor. You'll be glad to know that after I took this video, I actually got him some toys of his own to chase...

Anyway, he scoots around so much that his clothes are always dusty. Marty and I were discussing it, and we think it would be a good idea if Swiffer made a onesie. Marty suggested that we start calling him "Roomba."

Well, Alex and I are off to the airport as soon as he wakes up from his nap. Marty is on his way back from (another) business trip... we'll be glad to see him!

Have a great weekend!
