Weekly Glance...

Weekly Glance (Monday, October 6th - Sunday, October 12th, 2008)

• Had an okay week at school - was tired a few days and that's probably from waking up at 1a/2am!
• Had a combination of diaper rash & a runny nose
• Sleeping was not that great this week - he woke up at 1am a couple times and would not go back to sleep in his crib for Mommy. This is now Daddy's job if he wakes up at night because he'll go back down for Daddy.
• No longer wants to sit in his booster seat - he must sit in a normal seat
• Learned to get off the kitchen chair by himself and most times did not fall on the floor
• Loves to jump - however he doesn't get his feet off the ground and he does the funniest grunts with each jump
• New words this week: "Wow", "oww" and more uses of "happy"
• Another new word I found out about but he says this to Daddy is "home"
• All of a sudden loves sunglasses and wants to wear them
• Loves to brush his teeth with someone else, so one of us will sit with him and we all brush our teeth
• On Thursday, he scratched Aidan across the face and Mommy had to sign his first incident report
• Friday was Grampie's birthday so we celebrated with ice cream cake, singing & presents
• Alexander helped sing his version of Happy Birthday (it's just 'happy happy') and then he helped Grampie blow out his candles
• We got chinese food for dinner on Friday and Alexander had a chicken finger (against Mommy's judgement) and seemed quite content even when he was spitting it out on Mommy's office floor (ICKKK!)
• Woke up @ 6am both Saturday and Sunday - WOOO!!!
• He had a great weekend and besides the Saturday afternoon mini-meltdown he was in a good mood
• Saturday: Went to cousin Nick's football game with Daddy; helped Daddy mow the lawn/blow leaves in the afternoon; Dan watched our neighbor's kids so before bed, they came over and played with Alexander.
• Alexander was enthralled with following them around. He didn't try to steal any of the toys they played with which I found interesting as he didn't have the sense of 'my toys' with them.
• Sunday: Went hunting for pumpkins with Mommy; then went shopping with Mommy; then went to hang out with cousin Michael in the afternoon with Daddy
