Alexander is officially 7 months old and cute

Hi Folks,

Well, Alexander is officially 7 months old and cute. We love him!

He had a fun month and has started making all kinds of noises. He enjoys talking (buh-buh, heh-heh, da-da-da, guh-guh, etc) and has started eating solid foods; if you consider rice cereal a "solid". :)

Alex has 1.5 teeth. His second tooth is cutting through right now. No more gummy smiles!

At his 6 month checkup he weighed in at a whopping 20 lbs. (90%) and was 27 inches long (75%). He's wearing 12 month clothes. And apparently he's going to be really smart. That's what the nurse said...and then she said, "his head is off the chart." It's literally off the chart. He can fit into 18 month old hats.

He loves to sit and turn himself around in circles and then either roll to his stomach or back and wiggle around. We're having lots of fun with him.

Story of the month: Alex is very attached to his dad. Every night he has "time with Daddy" when Jeff gets home from work. One evening when Jeff came home from work, he said hi to Alexander and then went to get ready for an event we were leaving for soon. Alex immediately burst into tears as Jeff walked away. I held him and then sat him on the ground next to me so he could see Jeff. He gave us the big frown and crocodile tears started streaming down his face and he continued to cry until Jeff picked him up and held him. This happens regularly as soon as he sees Jeff. He just wants to be held by him at least for a few minutes before being put down again to play. It's very sweet to see the bond already so strong at such a young age!
