Alexander was goofing around with Grandma & Grandpa yesterday. Picture cracks me up. (Grandparents confirmed that Gpa was very, very, very close by, in case AAA or Albert decided he wanted to get off!)
the horse train
some modifications had to be made but now the train has passengers!
all aboard!
tired of just riding, Alexander decides to give everyone a ride!
harvest time
grandma says Alexander is a natural born farmer! see he's already harvesting his first crop of Japanese eggplant in Laguna Niguel. he was also very gentle putting the numerous tomatoes grandma & grandpa would hand to him to put in the basket.
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!
beach adventure
Alexander, Rebecca and mommies had a beach adventure yesterday at Laguna Beach. It only took us a few hours to get out of the house and get to the beach, but we did it!! We ate lunch, saw lots of birds (even a helicopter that Alexander was pointing at), and played in the sand. We had a wonderful adventure together and look forward to many more.
reading pals
it seems Alexander and his rocking horse have developed a close bond. here Alexander shares one of his favorites, reading to him and discussing.
catch me if you can
loading
feeling the park wasn't getting finished fast enough, Alexander decided to lend a hand.
lions and tigers
maybe I made him say it a few times too many, but when it's that cute how could I stop?
goodnight moon/ buenas noches luna
it's inevitable. this book is as classic as everyone says it is (in English or Spanish - Alexander enjoys both). although, I bet you didn't know that the real point of the story is to find the little mouse on each set of colored page!s Alex can show you were to find the lil mouse each time!
"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!
what's for dinner?
AAA discovers escalators
Alexander quickly picked up how to step on and off the escalators at the Mission Viejo mall today. Of course, having Daddy there to swing him off makes it that much more fun! (I think this was his 6th time riding it up and down, which is 12 times altogether!)
new do
Alexander got a hip new do for the summer! what a cutie patootie.
one of the morning rituals
This is one of Alexander and Daddy's morning rituals. The stack of books is what Alex went to get from the bookcase and Daddy's already read to him.
more swingtime!!
Alexander was having a fabulous time on the swing at Abuelita and Grandpa's.
loves his mommy
look at me! i'm in a swing!
mommy was swinging me at the park today!
or slide!
