Peek-a-Boo

The Latest

We've had a fun few weeks. Spending time with the Locys was great. Alexander really enjoyed playing with his cousin Liam. This past weekend Alexander had two firsts: his first museum and his first soccer game. He was quite the art connoisseur at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. He especially cooed for the art with happy faces and bright colors. We're looking forward to Halloween this weekend!

Fall Fun

Yeah for fall! We have had a great start to my favorite season. Alexander started eating rice cereal. He seems to like the taste of it and has even figured out how to open wide, but he doesn't quite have the whole swallowing thing down yet. We had a nice evening with the Nicolls as they passed through town and met Alexander for the first time. Last weekend we had some fall fun at Southern Belle Farm in McDonough, Georgia. They had all sorts of activities for the kids and kids-at-heart: hay ride, pig races, petal go-carts, and a corn maze. Steven and I celebrated our 4th anniversary, and Alexander did great with his first non-family babysitter.

Sounding Off

Several weeks ago baby giggles began to fill the Gladden home. Little Alexander's giggle warms the heart, and you can't help but giggle right along with him. He especially thinks his daddy is hilarious (I have to agree). But, as those of you who have had little ones know, life is not always peaches 'n cream. A few days ago Alexander learned a new, not-so-soul-pleasing sound. He quickly figured out how to use this "screech" to get mommy and daddy's attention. Check it out... yikes!
