ALEXANDER UPDATES
-Turned 11 months this week
-received his 3rd haircut
-started walking
-received his 7th tooth two months ago!
-has been potting training since 6 months. (He does not like being is dirty diapers!I was shocked how he signaled to me to start training him.Wouldn't it be nice to have him out of diapers and completely off of formula by the time the next baby comes.)
-Sits in a big boy car seat facing forward and loves it
Alexander can...
-whistle, climb up and down stairs, open cabinets and drawers, open toilet lid, unscrew caps to bottles or flip the tops and he can walk (although he prefers to crawl because he is quicker at it.)
-put shaped blocks in proper slot on the top of bucket, almost turn door knobs, plays the kazoo and the piano (both of which he loves)
-feed self with spoon, will only eat adult food and otter Popsicles(the pictures below of him eating are when he first started eating on his own. What a mess! He still has his days and it makes me laugh.)
Alexander likes to....
-do all the above plus,
-unroll the toilet paper and eat it
-read, his favorite book is "No David" by David Shannon
-read and swim (he'll put his head under water by himself!)
-climb the couch, bookshelf..pretty much anything
-receive head messages and have me run my fingers through his hair
-be outside, put everything into mouth
-stand on the chair next to me when I am washing dishes and play with the soap bubbles, help push vacuum, unload dishwasher by pulling items out and placing them on the floor, close dryer door and pull cloths out and destroy my neatly folded laundry piles. (He is a great help! :o)
-be with other kids- loves having Taylor over every week to play
-play with electronics, turn t.v. on, talk on the phone (especially to daddy at work)
-brush his teeth (rather chew on it) and take baths

Alxander is so cute! I can't believe he can whistle and that he wants to potty train! Sounds like he's going to be a smart boy!
That is so so exciting that you're going to be a Relief Society teacher! ah! I always loved the lessons you gave while in the presidency!
Thanks for always being so kind! You treat everyone like your best friend - thanks for making us all feel special!
I am seriously impressed about the teeth and potty training. Alexander's going to be hard to keep up with, that's for sure!
Congratulations on the new calling. I am excited to hear you teach more often! :)
I concur with Rachel's comment- you have a talent for being a good friend.
I can't believe all of the things that Alexander is doing! He is a very smart little boy! He is so cute, I love the picture of him in his little tie standing up! I also agree with Rachel's comment!
I can't stand how big Alexander is getting!! How fun! I love that you are taking piano lessons. That is on my to-do list by the time I'm 30, and I'm running out of time. I love that you went to Sherwood Hills, what a beautiful room you stayed in. That sounds like the perfect anniversary.
Hi,
I like the updates. Helps us know you.
Love,
Aunt Janet
