when your water bottle has a handle, it does not go in your backpack.

Here I come!
i can walk!
the last few days Alexander has been stumbling a bit on his own. taking a tentative step or two and then falling down. tonight, just 2 days before his birthday, he finally put it all together.

trike-a-thon
the other weekend, Alexander and his cousin Rebecca participated in a trike-a-thon fundraiser to raise money for the very worthy Gwendolyn Strong Foundation (http://gwendolynstrongfoundation.org/). thanks to Abuelita for taking video!

i'm walking! (almost)
for a few weeks now Alexander has been motoring along the couch and bed - holding on to the edge and scooting along. within the last week or two he's decided it's time to get moving and while holding onto someones hands loves to walk around. but, this particular toy is probably his favorite right now - aside from playing fun music, it affords him some freedom to move around - albeit not much considering we have to follow closely (apparently the skill of stopping and turning and balancing, come sometime after the skill of moving my legs forward).
