Following a long-time family tradition, Aunt Nancy had sent to us a beautiful scrapbook filled with pictures and stickers of all of Alexander&#8217;s favorite things.   He immediately took to flipping through the pages, pointing out all the animals and things that he recognized.  With smiles and squeals he lets us know which pictures he likes best, and sometimes mommy tells the stories about the new animals and points out all thats going on.  Sometimes we have to remind him not to peel off the stickers and be gentle with the pages when he gets too excited.<a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/www.winklerworldonline.com\/babyblog\/uploaded_images\/7-6-08-Aunt-Nancys-Scrapbook-%284%29-763032.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.winklerworldonline.com\/babyblog\/uploaded_images\/7-6-08-Aunt-Nancys-Scrapbook-%284%29-762581.JPG\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>  Shortly after he&#8217;ll remind <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">himself<\/span> to be careful, &#8220;nononono&#8221; and shake his little finger.  One of his favorite pages is the one with the kids and &#8220;friends.&#8221;  He loves the kitties too and &#8216;barks&#8217; (&#8220;wawawawawawa&#8221;) at all the doggies he sees.  The pictures are simple and colorful and we seem to notice something new every time we go through it.  What a treasure for both baby <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">and<\/span> mama &amp; papa!  Thank you Aunt Nancy for such a delightful gift, and all the time, care and love that went in to each page.
