OK time for lots of catch up photos.
Firstly here's a portrait of Tilly,
and here she is walking down the hall and you can see Alex is finally taller than the cat.
Friday was Mom's birthday so Alex had a big day out with his Nana. We went shopping first, then out for chinese. Alex loves eating out and the Chinese restaurant is always fun. There's lots of food for Alex to play with and then on Friday nights there's a band with singing and dancing. Alex ate really well. He used a fork for the first time and it worked better than a spoon. Then his Nan took him to see the band and he took center stage on the dance floor with the other children. He didn't dance but he did get a few kisses from the girls (and a boy).
Then he went home for a bath (got to wash off those girl germs) and stayed up to help Nan blow out the candles.
He stuck his fingers in the cake and found it very exciting.
Alex's new trick today. If he doesn't want his nappy changed, he just gets off the change table.
It's amazing to see. He doesn't try to use his legs to climb down, he just uses all upper body strength to lower himself down. It's surprising that he is doing this but hasn't tried to climb out of his cot yet. He will climb up and down things but not over so I guess that's why he hasn't worked out the cot yet, that would mean climbing over the rail.
Today we went out for a BBQ at a friends place. It was really busy there with lots of kids.
Alex went flat out the whole time, opening and shutting all the doors and cupboards and climbing up and down the stairs outside (over and over). Yep he is doing stairs on his own. They had quite a steep set of stairs and after the first dozen times helping Alex up and down I decided to leave him to do it himself, figuring he wouldn't feel comfortable on his own so would stop. Nope that didn't work. He just did it on his own, no need for anyone to hold his hand or catch him. It was funny, he had no problem with these stairs but the doorstep just inside was a different story, he kept tripping over that.
