Monthly Update...

The only main thing to comment in this monthly update is that Alexander is getting the remainder of his teeth in & it's been impacting his sleeping.

For the past 2 1/2 weeks, he's been waking up every night crying & ultimately sleeping with me (using me as a pillow). I've tried a few nights to let him cry it out, or go in and rub his back, rock in the chair, but it ultimately ends in a crying fit so rather than none of us sleeping, I bring him in our bed.

Also, at school he has his moments where he's more whiny or territorial than usual. Miss Lori & I talked and think it definitely could be affected by his sleeping schedule (or lack their of) but it could also be normal for a 2 1/2 year old.

The other thing to note is that he's been good at trying new food. He won't necessarily try something new all the time but he is better. In fact, last weekend he tried pepperoni & items from an antipasto salad and enjoyed it!

Clothes: He's pretty much in 24 months/2T now for everything although there are some things he can wear that is 18-24 months.

Likes: Elmo, Trains, trucks, Thomas the Tank Engine, Little Einsteins, dancing, arts & crafts
Dislikes: dogs
Favorite phrase: "here he comes" - this gets him very excited/giddy
