First fruits (and veggies) of our labor

So it's not much, but at least there's no salmonella!

Alex at 6 months

Here are Alex's latest stats:

weight: 19lbs 14oz

height: 27 inches

head size: 17 3/4 inches

He is two inches and two pounds away from being too big for his carrier. The kid better learn to sit up soon or we'll be in big trouble on trips to the grocery store! Here's a funny picture of him in his "Team Rural Sociology" shirt. It's a big hit with my cohorts.

Best Buds

Alex has a new-found friend. Actually, Riley's been around since long before we first brought Alex home, but he's just now decided Alex is friend not foe. They love to snuggle and rub against each other. The only problem is when Alex gets a fistful of white fur and sticks it in his mouth.

Water Baby

Alex took his first dip in a pool this week. He loved it. We spent an hour in the kiddie pool behind Granny's house. I guess there are some benefits to 90-degree evenings in Alabama.

I don't have anything too exciting to report beyond that. I just thought y'all might like to see some pictures of our big boy. I know it's cliche, but they do grow up too fast!
