Driving a John Deere

Alec "drove" a tractor last weekend.

On the move

I almost forgot! Alec has figured out how to use his ExerSaucer to move around the room. He jumps and leans in the direction he wants to go. I was hilarious last evening. I was in the kitchen at the sink and I heard him jumping. I look down and he is inches away from me staring up with a big smile. I'd push him back and soon he was by my side pulling on my shorts. He seemed pretty happy with himself. I have a feeling we will be chasing him around the house in no time.

Sleep!

The little boy has a cold. He was up many times last night. He seemed good this morning but his mom and I could use some sleep. My mom came to the rescue and said she will take him tonight. While we hate to give him up for a night we will really appreciate the sleep!

Tomorrow Alec and I start music classes at Chickadee Music of Seattle. Classes are close to home at the Phinney Neighborhood Center.

I added another friends blog to our page. On the right you will find the new addition of Hilary's Blogoramadingong.

Sixth Tooth

Alec has been acting a bit lathargic and fussy over the last couple of days. A pattern we are now very familiar with. He is a really happy guy except when those pesky teeth burst through. Based on his recent behavior we suspected he had yet another tooth working its way to the surface. Risking the intense pain of razor sharp new baby teeth I inspected his gums and found number six, a lateral insisor in his lower jaw. I escaped unscathed. Poor Alec has to endure more achy, sore gums.
I took this photo yesterday with my camera phone.

Blanket

Alec's Auntie Hilary made him this wonderful blanket. We know she spent many caring hours on it and Alec loves it!

Our friend Leigh took some great photos at our Labor Day BBQ.

Cousins

Here is a photo of Alec and his little cousin Roman. We visited last Sunday after our camping trip to Bay View State Park. Keith and Natalie have links to a bunch of photos as well as a really cute video on Roman's blog. I've also updated our photo site and added a September page.

Is today the day?

Natalie is in labor! Little Roman Walbrun should be here soon! We can't wait! Here are some other notable people that celebrate their birthday on September 5th:
