Alex is 4 Months Old

Alex turned 4 months old this weekend while we were in Michigan visiting Ben & Laura & Isobel. We all had a great time and Alex and Isobel were quite taken with each other -- they kept smiling and flirting -- could there be a future there?? ;)

Alex is doing really well. One bottom tooth is in and the second one is breaking through as I write this. He was sleeping 12 hours a night (from 7pm-7am) but since he started teething he's been waking up in the middle of the night again. Actually, he rolls over from his belly onto his back in the crib and then he can't get back onto his belly to go back to sleep. So, we go in and flip him over and he goes right back to sleep. Of course we haven't actually seen him roll over yet -- he's a sneaky little guy! :)

Here is Emily racing on Ben's steering wheel! She had such a great time that she would only let Nelson shift for her -- he never got a chance to play! :)

And here is a picture of Alex with Uncle Ben. Ben believes that Emily calling Alex "Ax" is a sign of his true-calling -- a drummer (that's a great rocker-name, isn't it?). So, here is Ben giving Alex his first lesson! :)

Emily loved Bel! So much so that she started calling Ben & Laura "Bel" as well -- what a crazy girl! :)
