The sad part is that this is the best-looking one. I guess it's good that I'm better at raising a baby than produce. Though, to be fair, the squash was looking a little sad before I even put it in the ground. Andy's peppers, on the other hand, are looking great.
This is our first stab at growing a vegetable garden (we haven't faired well with flowers in the past). Hopefully our friends and family can enjoy the fruits (or veggies) of our labor in a couple months.
On to Alex news ...
We took Alex to his first Auburn football game on Saturday. We promised him the Tigers would win no matter what (it was the A-Day game), but he still didn't enjoy it. I don't know if it was the crowd, the noise, the blazing heat, or the sunlight, but he was not a happy camper (can't you tell by the picture?). It was his first time in Alabama heat and it appears he has his father's distaste for humidity. But he did look awfully cute in all orange.
He had his 4-month checkup today and weighs in at 16 lbs, 7 ounces. He is 26 inches long. He is doing great. He and Andy have formed a bond and, while I am a little jealous, any parent (or anyone who loves their family, for that matter) will tell you that there is something special about seeing those you love the most happiest in one other's company. Here is a list of Alex's favorite things to do:
1. Clench his fists so hard it's impossible to clip his nails
2. Lock his legs
3. Smile in the mornings and tell us what's on his mind
4. Fuss in the evenings and tell us what's on his mind
5. Flirt with strangers by smiling shyly and turning his head away while maintaining eye contact (it works well with the ladies)
6. Suck on everything in sight, from his paci to our shirt collars
7. Listen to Sullivan howl and bark (it's weird, sometimes it's the only way to get him to quit crying)
8. Try to stuff his entire fist in his mouth
9. Poot loudly and frequently in the mornings, especially when he stretches
10. Drool

I guess you didn't inherit your dad's green thumb, huh??!! Alex is such a cutie, although I think crimson would look so much better with his skin color. ;)
War Baby!! He looks so cute decked out in his AU gear!! I can't wait to love on him this weekend!!
