Alexander - 13 Months

Alexander is a hoot and a handful! The big changes this month are that he is pulling up to standing on his own, is very curious about the toys (and crafts) around him and really wants to be in the middle of the action.
He knows to pull out the bins with trucks, cars, trains, tools, etc., finds the shelf with board books and looks through books with great intention on his face and spends hours exploring the playroom.

The more excited the kids are the more wound up he gets - screaming, trying to "talk" and always smiling! He flies into the bathroom when he hears the water running for tubbies. He started saying "TAY OOH" (Thank you) when we prompt him.

Anna lays in front of Alex and waits for him to crawl on top of her and give hugs and kisses.  Kate loves to help him do little crafts like painting and coloring. Max builds things  for Alex to destroy! Anna loves to push him around in the cozy coupe while the others are chasing them or directing traffic. We are all enjoying playing and getting lots of hugs and kisses from Alexander these days!

Oh My Goodness love the expression on his face with all the baggies on the floor. He is such a sweet heart. You are all really enjoying him and that is such a blessing. Love how the kids play with him.
Love and hugs, YVBA
