He shows no fear. He's rough and he's tough. He likes to wrestle with his big brother and usually wins.
He is into everything, (STILL) puts everything into his mouth, and doesn't give up trying to open that one cupboard that isn't locked. I actually resorted to duct tape the other day.
He will eat anything...even if it's not edible. Including a piece of ceramic (long story).
He loves to hug his big brother.
He loves to play peek-a-boo.
He is always looking for Da Da while he's at work and stands at the baby gate yelling for him along side Mateo when the garage door opens.
He is happy being with his family and friends and I think we are happy to have him around. Especially Mateo, who when sad will often say, "I need Owwww Ex.". And a big Alex hug makes it all better.
He's incredibly squirmy, somewhat rough, has pulled out more earrings than I can remember, and often pokes his brother in the eyes unknowingly or tries to rip off his ears.
He got his first black eye last week.
He weighs 22 lbs and has 8 teeth.
He's happy crawling around the house and climbing on things for now and isn't too interested in walking. We're OK with that. Walking means even more chaos. We can wait a little longer.
He still doesn't sleep through the night and graces me with his presence about 4:30 or 5:00 every morning to nurse. Yay about that lol.
He waves at everybody and says HI.
He tries to be sweet even when he's sick.
He drives me crazy by his inability to comprehend the word "NO" and his unstoppable diligence in getting into things he wants into (hence the reason why all but one of our kitchen cupboards are locked now. Have fun coming to cook in OUR kitchen....lol). And hence the reason why our living room curtains are draped up AND the reason I often drag the coffee table to block off areas. Fun times.
He melts my heart with his big blue eyes and big cheesy smile.
Happy Birthday to Alex. Our blessing, whose name means "Defender of Man". Maybe that's why he tries to be tough. Thanking Jesus today for his life.
