Tickle Torture

House Tour

Hi all - not too much here to post about - excitement of our week - Alec has pooped in the potty three times and really seems to be getting the hang of it. I was laughing with Matt yesterday about how ridiculous it was that I was literally ecstatic for him to have finally had a bowel movement in the toilet - oh, the things parenting does to you. He continues to love gymnastics, and did a forward roll all on his own today. He has also made a friend named Sam at gymnastics, who we are going to try and meet up with. Alec is always SO excited to see and play with him - I think he really misses his friends. Other news - my neighbors have four kids and the youngest girl loves dogs, but doesn't have one, so she is enamored with Brody. No joke - she has literally come over three days this week and asked to take him for a walk. Works for us! She is also going to dog sit for us this weekend when we go to Ohio, which is great. So - I've been meaning to post house pics forever and haven't gotten around to it - so here is a mega post of house shots, several featuring Alec!

Some pantless yard work this weekend

This is classic Alec

and my damn dog - I have found him sleeping on the dining room table several times since we moved in.

Alec loves to stand on the couch and check out what's happening on the street.....and that's a rap!
