Week Twenty Five: At A Glance

Here's a look back at Week Twenty Five (Monday, September 10th, - Sunday, September 16th 2007)

• A good week at school followed by a very nice weekend filled with all of Alexander's Grandparents
• The first night ever of 12 full hours of sleep on Saturday night!
• Loves babbling - he's getting quite vocal. Even Miss Linda has commented that he talks all day
• Loves bathtime and has mastered making big splashes which he doesn't mind when the water gets on his face
• He loves to stand. He can pull himself up from lying down to a sitting position and rather than staying there, he pulls himself up to stand. He would much rather stand than lie or sit down
• School was good this week - was in a very good mood, spent one whole day laughing, they went outside almost every day, took good naps & had bananas & sweet potatoes
• Still has not duplicated an outfit to school and even started the week off with his stylish outfit/hat which all the teachers loved
• Usually will just babble during car rides but Monday morning he was very upset and screamed 90% of the drive
• On Saturday, went to Newport for the first time - got to visit Grandpa & Grandma who were up for a wedding. We drove around Newport for a bit and then went to lunch. Alexander was extremely well behaved the whole day
• Grandma gave Alexander a 6 month present which is a toy train with the cutest animals... I don't know who was more excited, Mommy or Alexander
• On Sunday, Grammie & Grampie came over. We were going to go to a farm but Alexander needed a nap so we just hung out.
• We went to the playground across the street with Daddy & Grammie. We went on the slide & the swings. Most times didn't seem all that interested
• Hung out with Grammie & Daddy on the grass at home and was able to sit up all by himself - without being propped up or held!
• Diaper rash is much improved even though it's still there, it's not nearly as red. But we're still continuing with the baking soda bath, maalox, etc
• Eczema is also much improved - it's gone from his arms, legs & belly. Just a small mark on his shoulder and some on his back
