Boy


Alec is a boy now. Our baby is a distant memory. He talks to us in full sentences that make sense. He reasons and negotiates. He asks questions about the world. We answer the "why?" question many times a day. We've been making efforts to always give him an answer that does not equate to "because I said so". That is not always easy though. He is constantly in motion. If he is awake he is in motion and at this point outdoor activities are ideal. He loves his backyard and will play out there for hours. We recently finished some landscaping and many of the previous fun dirt play areas are now off limits. I'll have to create an area for him to dig and search for worms.

We recently returned from a trip to San Diego. Alec got to spend close to a week with his cousins, Jack & Grant. They all got along really well and it was fun to see them get to know each other. We also got to visit Legoland! I loved Legos as a child so I was happy to visit under the guise of visiting for Alec. He's still a bit young to be really interested in Legos so I don't think he got as much out of it as I did. He did get ride some rides though and that he did appreciate.
