Summer Fun

We have had a GREAT week, and I decided I needed to reward myself with a little fun blogging time. Sorry it has been so long since the last update. Despite a diagnosis of Failure to Thrive and Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), our little man continues to be a happy, smart little boy--- definitely NOT a baby any more. He has had a turn for the better over the last week or so and is almost 18 pounds now. HOORAY! He is attending feeding therapy and had a great session yesterday. He chewed and swallowed banana cookie bites, Goldfish crackers, Cheerios, and cheese. Alexander has been trying out several new words. His favorites are "book," "foo" (phone), "bu-bu" (bunny), and "dat" (he points and says "dat" when he wants to know "what is that?"). We have had several opportunities in between seeing doctors and specialists for some much needed grown-up fun time.

Alexander wasn't sure what to think of walking barefoot in Grandma and Grandpa's fancy grass.

Grandpa loves juicy Alexander kisses!

Grandma and Alexander- as happy as can be.

Alexander thought Great Grandma's walking toy was so much fun!

Reading with cousin Anna. Alexander will bring us or point to a book and say "book, book" when he wants us to read to him. He LOVES to be read to!

Playing mini-golf with the Mitchell kids when they were in town... just for the record, I beat Grandpa on the last hole!

Alexander loves musical toys.

Skinny-dipping at CG and Padre's.

Goofing around with CG.

Alexander gives wet tongue kisses- so cute!

Like his own daddy, Alexander will make a good father one day. He loves to hug and give loves to his "baby."

Beep-beep!

Mr. Independent thinks he can comb his own hair and brush his own teeth.

Staring contest with Great Grandma turned into a giggle contest!
