walking stick
Alexander got to touch a walking stick today at the LA Natural History Museum!
Christmas cookie dough
Last night Alexander helped us prepare the dough for Grandma's Christmas Cookies. Aside from a great helper, he liked the dough a lot!
amazing grace
at night when I put Alexander to bed, I'll sing to him, either lullabies, movie tunes, or church songs. Of all the songs I sing to him, in English and Spanish, the one he's really taken to is the gospel, Amazing Grace. So much so, that he now sings some words of the first verse with me! and even on tune! He just constantly amazes me and I am in awe of him.
tent it
it seems it doesn't take much more then a little tent to make a little boy very happy (even if it's falling apart a bit…)
dance party!
dreaming
drivin'
look at me! I'm cooking!
alexander helped mommy cook dinner for reals for the first time tonight. he stirred the pot of ravioli like someone's who's been doing it for 20 years! (ok, maybe I exaggerate a tad.) seriously though, for being only 20 months old, he was pretty amazing. he stirred the pot all by himself and was careful not to burn himself, spill or break up the pasta. perhaps we have a chef in the making!
"loads" of fun!
this evening at the park with mommy, Alexander learned that his pay loader truck can carry rocks. we had "loads" of fun!
loves his mommy
or slide!
then again
lunch at the park
nothing better than chasing birds and running around.
green thumb
box
my first juice box!
caught!
While celebrating Grandma & Grandpa's surprise 40th wedding anniversary getaway to Santa Barbara wine country, Mommy caught Alexander horsing around in the Chinook! We think Alexander loves the Chinook as much as Mommy!
grocery shopping with mommy!
mommy and Alexander went to the grocery store this past monday and Alexander got to ride in the shopping cart sitting up! the cart cover worked great. here is Alexander checking it out to make sure it meets his standards. and it PASSED the inspection!
love the books!
