Alex can clap!

Hans encouraged me to post a blog entry about Alex, and we have recently been working on teaching Alex to clap. We caught this cute video of Alex doing his best, and thought we would share it. These days Alex is getting into everything. Holly didn't crawl until 10 months, so this crawling thing at 6 1/2 mo. with Alex feels too soon. His favorite activity is to sneak into Holly's room and play with her doll house. Well he mostly likes to chew on the people! He is super cute and much happier now that he has cut two little bottom teeth.



When we decorated our Christmas tree, Alex was enthralled with the string of lights.
One night we let Lincoln watch a movie in bed. He and Alex decided to watch together. Alex has always gravitated to wherever Lincoln is. Lincoln was the first to get Alex to laugh, and occasionally at night we hear Lincoln and Alex in their room belly laughing at something Lincoln is doing!

This is one of Hans' favorite pictures. This was a bowl full of pumpkin guts, that Alex couldn't keep away from. He actually got that fist of goo in his mouth right after Hans took this picture.
