Alex 5 months


Alex is 5 months, so hard to believe. I can't imagine not having a third. And despite the fact that several times a day I hear things like: Wow, you have your hands full....there is nothing I would rather have in my arms that my kids...except the occasional cold beer or glass of wine.
He is the happiest, most mellow, easy baby ever. He LOVES everyone. When I drop him off at the daycare to workout he jumps for joy at every stranger that flashes a smile at him. He laughs at his siblings all day long and is so wonderfully mellow as I take him to volunteer in Charlie's class, to stores, in and out of the car and just about anywhere.
Except at night.
I think I need a night nurse. Last night (and I do not exaggerate at all) we went to bed at 8 after a long day of p-fest fun. He woke up (yes I counted) 10 times between 8 and 10:30. And was basically waking up unhappy every 20 minutes. Let's hope this a phase because I can not continue to be a happy and healthy mommy on NO sleep.
He is crazy strong. Always jumping in our laps. He has been rolling both ways since he was 3.5 months and now is getting his knees under his body and lurching forward. Between rolling, scootching and twisting he can get anywhere.....perhaps it is time to think about baby-proofing.



We are all in love. And look forward to everything this little man will become

He's going to pass up Piper real soon. It will be fun to see them together at Thanksgiving.

Love him so much. His little smile melts my heart. You and Adam make amazing babies.
