Week Twenty Six: At a Glance...

Week Twenty Six: Monday, September 17th to Sunday, September 23rd

• Besides the major milestone, it was a very, very quiet week.
• Alexander had his first 1/2 birthday and turned Six Months old!
• Got a cake to celebrate
• A few mornings he would sleep to 6a and then other mornings he would be up at 4:15-4:30am
• Played with his first pumpkin
• Mommy was sick on Tuesday & Wednesday. It was Daddy to the rescue. He was Mr. Mom and put him to bed on Tuesday and dropped him off at school on Wednesday
• Then it was Daddy who was under the weather on Saturday & Sunday so Mommy was on duty for the weekend
• Still has not duplicated an outfit to school - a few teachers at school commented that Alexander is by far the best dressed kid at the entire school and they check his outfits out every day
• Had a good week at school - went outside every day and Miss Linda said he loves it. They put him in first seat in the buggy so he can look around
• Continues to nap well at school for the majority of the week
• Didn't eat solids this week to see if that helps with the diaper rash, so we put a bit more in his bottles to make up for no solids during the day
• Diaper rash is finally gone
• The last two baths, he seems to be testing himself. He'll lower his head very close to the water and will put his mouth in the water and then pull it away to see how bad it was. The first time I had no idea what he was doing, but I figured it out the 2nd time. It's very cute and since I'm in there holding him, he has no chance of doing it for more than a second.
• We tried carrots on Saturday, he loved them and did very well with those. We'll see what the effects are, if any
• Ran errands with Mommy on Saturday while Daddy rested
• Watched Daddy outside on Sunday while he played in his exersaucer. Alexander loves to be outside.
• He was in a super mood all weekend and took great naps. Must have been because he was up at 4:30a!
• Watched the Pats win (nice way to start the season 3-0, hopefully they don't tank out like the Sox are)
