Tumblerific!
Once a year our church has an outing at a local gymnastics studio where we can bounce, tumble, and crash- for free- to our hearts delight. They’ve got state of the art gymnastics equipement (bars, beams, floor, rings, vaults etc…) including awesome trampolines, a big foam pit, and mats Continue Reading
Little Things at Eleven Months
Alexander amazes us every day. We’ve been less than best bloggers but I thought we would send out some of our favorite gems from WinklerWorld. Alexander loves to share bananas, apples, etc… especially if papa is eating it and we take a bite of it first. (Papa was mean and Continue Reading
Kid in a Candy Store
This one’s for you Nana- see what happens when you give a 10 month old ONE LITTLE taste of Ice Cream? Yeah, Thanks A LOT. If he’s a little more “active” than usual on Monday, don’t blame us =)! *disclaimer- no actual candies were purchased for the printing of this Continue Reading
This is the house that Nana Built…
David may be an amazing basement finisher, but this little house that Nana built out of the car-seat box (yup- he’s in a big boy car seat now, bye bye baby carrier!), has won grins and laughs unlike any pricey toy we’ve seen so far. He loves to go inside Continue Reading
Dans La Neige…
Ok, so we did it- but as you can see, somebody wasn’t all too happy about it! It probably took us over five minutes to get Alexander into his little snow suit. When all was said and done, he lay on the floor in a blue marshmallow heap- he couldn’t Continue Reading
We’ve Got a Walker!
It’s official! Alexander has declared himself the newest little biped in the house! Not long after he was wobbily standing (late November), he was taking an uncontrolled step or two here or there. At Christmas time, he could cruise around- his feet playing catch up with his leaning torso in Continue Reading
Nine and a half months- New Year’s Snap Pack
Just thought we’d close out 2007 with our traditional 3 months snappack. Since we’re posting late, here’s Alexander October through early January. Happy New Year to all!
Cowboy Alex
It was dusky Christmas Sabbath evening. Alexander was playing in the living room with Mama and Aunt Nancy when a not-so-familiar ‘clip-clop-clip-clop’ was heard coming from around the corner. He turned with all curiosity to see a most handsome young stallion ‘galloping’ across the dining room floor. With three ‘neeeeiiighs’ Continue Reading
So This is Christmas…
“So,” said Alexander, sitting amidst strewn paper and bows, and in the shadows of towering presents, “this is Christmas!” We celebrated our Christmas “gala” day on Monday, the 24th. Brian and Renee had been staying with us since Saturday Night, and Sunday evening after baby was in bed, we transfered Continue Reading
Christmas Wishes from Grandma & Grandpa J.
2007’s Grand Christmas Gala began with a friendly visit from Minnesota. Grandma and Grandpa J. forged through snow and Chicago traffic to spend several days with us and celebrate the pre-holidays. We enjoyed some good chats, a couple nice Nana-cooked meals (including some wonderful chili) and of course time for Continue Reading
