6-Month Gotcha Day!!!

From October 26, 2006 to April 26, 2007...

I can not believe that we have had Alex for 6 months already!!!!! We love him so much and he loves us a ton!!!

In general, Alex “talks” a lot! We usually have no idea what he is saying… he is quiet when he is focused on something! Alex LOVES going outside. He gets so excited when we say we are going outside and quite sad when we have to come in! He gets out there and just wants to run; down the drive way is his favorite for some reason! He is, after all, the escape artist of the family! He eats anything we give him, he especially loves his soy milk (which we have to spell out sometimes, when we are not ready to give him it, like before bed). He has some lactose intolerance, when he eats regular yogurt, or drinks milk, it makes him cough stuff in his lungs… weird but it does… he can handle some cheese, we don’t give him a lot, but he seems to do ok with it.

He loves to dance and bounce around, he even does a little "Happy Feet" dance once in a while, he has also started throwing small fits more and more... At home he gets to sit on "the pink rug", when we are out, we try to ignore it, or distract him... He learns things from other kids so fast! We are always having to undo things that he picks up at the store or playing from other kids! But he is quite compliant and very sweet, he has really been growing attached to us... he frequently comes to us just for a hug and kiss and then he is off again running, it is so sweet to have in our lives! I can not imagine life without him, it seems like he was always here!
