Still Blue

At the sign language class

Well, it looks like those eyes are going to stay blue. I never imagined I would have a child with blue eyes!

The picture was taken earlier this week at a sign language class we attended with our playgroup. I have been doing a few signs with Alex for the last couple of months and he recognizes "milk." We'll be adding in more now. It will probably still be a couple of months before he signs back.

Alex has hit a whole new level of physical activity in the last couple of weeks. He can roll at will (check out the pictures of him flipping over on the changing table!) and can push himself up into a sitting position. When I walk into his room now, I often find him sitting up in the crib. He can also pull up from sitting onto his knees, if he has a piece of furniture close enough to grab. He can pull himself forward on his stomach, and crawl backwards on hands and knees.

He also seems to like the bath a lot better than he used to! He enjoys splashing his hands in the water and playing with ducks or stacking cups. I think he likes being in the big bathtub a lot better than the baby tub.

Well, this is just a quick update. I think he's awake from his nap and ready to get up now. Have a great weekend!
