I know an Alex update is loooonng overdue. The truth is, he hasn't really reached any major milestones lately. He kind of took his first steps on Christmas day, but has really just decided that crawling works fine for him. Unfortunately for us, though, he no longer likes to be held, especially out in public. So standing in line at the pharmacy with a squiggly squirmy 24lbs baby is super fun. But here's a list of things Alex is doing or enjoys these days:
1. Alex is starting to watch TV. I know, I'm a horrible mommy for being happy about this, but it sure does make things easier when we're trying to clean up the house.
2. Sleeping still continues to be a little bit of a challenge. Though the last three nights (knock on wood), he has slept through the night, about 9 and a half hours. It's been great. But I'm sure that will change the next time he gets sick.
3. Alex loves infommercials. He is especially enamored with the voice of Billy Mays. Go figure.
4. Alex likes to lift up shirts. He also likes to reach down them. This is bad.
5. Alex's laugh his changing. It used to be more of a throaty chuckle. Now it sounds a little more maniacal. There's nothing better in this world than a baby laughing - no matter what it sounds like!
6. Alex still hates anything remotely resembling fruit or vegetables. We have decided not to fight this battle until he understands the concept of bargaining. For now, we just put bits on his tray and get a kick out of the look he gives us: "You seriously think I'm going to eat this s***?"
7. Alex has got some moves! The kid is a terrific little dancer. His teacher said his signature dance reminds her of the Pepsi commercial with Jimmy Fallon. She's totally right.

1. Who is Billy Mays?
2. Tell Alex to wait until college until he starts putting his hands down other people's shirts. Preferably Female.
