We had a fabulous Memorial Day Weekend. My cousin Jenny got married (and her wedding was spectacular,) so my dad and Loretta were in town and stayed with us. It was great for them to spend some QT with little Alec, although he was a bit under the weather when they were here. He was still a trooper though, and hung in there for some shopping and eating out and even learned to climb all the way up to the top of the stairs while they were here. He's gotten really good at it, although he doesn't understand that he will fall if he lets go, so he has to be closely supervised, which can be tough b/c he can crawl quickly!!! Dad and Loretta left on Sunday, and on Monday I ran the Boulder Bolder w/ Renae. It was great, as always, although not the best run of my life. It was still fun though, and since it ended up being overcast and rainy we changed our bbq plans and hung out w/ Nate, Renae and Reid during the day. We had pizza and went in the hot tub! The hot tub sits low in their deck, so Alec could pull himself up on it and play in the water, which he loved. The pics are on Renae's camera, but I will post them soon. The pic is of Alec snuggling up with Paula on the night of the wedding - she rocks and babysat for us on Fri of a holiday weekend! Alec never snuggles by the way! We think he could sense she has his soon to be friend in her belly.
Alec and I went up and had lunch w/ Matt today at Celestial. We try and go about every other week! All Matt's colleagues like to see Alec as he grows! Today Alec dressed special for the occasion - note the celestial onesie. He had a great time climbing around daddy's office. Check out these smiles!
Some cute bath photos. Also, Alec has officially started to crawl, and he is doing it correctly!! I think the pulling up helped him a bit b/c on mother's day he decided that was that and took off on all fours. I'll put up a video soon.
Alec has hit another milestone. He can now pull himself up to a standing position - and he loves it!!! He has been pulling up on everything he can get his hands on for the last 2 days, and he is endlessly entertained. He has also figured out how to get into a sitting position from laying down, so can now basically get into whatever position he wants. This does mean standing up in bed instead of sleeping sometimes, but not too often. He still hasn't completely mastered the crawl - he continues to flop on his belly like a seal, but he is getting a lot closer. And....he got his second bottom tooth this morning - he officially has 2 teeth!
