Brusha, Brusha, Brusha

Alex got his first toothbrush this week. It is green with trains on it. He's been really good about letting us clean his teeth with a washcloth, but he was not so sure about the brush. He'll get the hang of it eventually.

Dum Ditty, Dum Ditty, Dum, Dum, Dum

Alex has been loving the book "Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb" and all the drumming monkeys. (He likes to dance to the rhythm when we read it.) And now he has his own drum to play on as well. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa D!

Fifteen Month Check Up

Other than the shots, Alex had a great check up at the doctor's today. He is 24 3/4 pounds and 31 inches tall. Very healthy and doesn't have to go back for a check up until he's two. After having to go in so regularly for the first fifteen months of his life, it's going to seem strange to not have a regular visit for so long.

Fun with Felt

Alex likes the felt board at school so much that we decided to make one at home. He's been having lots of fun with it!

Alex 0, Gravity 2

Alex had two separate mishaps at school today. His eye is pretty swollen, but the doctor said it's okay, and, thankfully, he didn't need any stitches. Then this afternoon he fell again and split his lip a little (you can barely even see it in the picture). He's taking it all like a trooper. Mom and Dad are a little more traumatized, but we know this is just the first of many cuts and bruises.

ZooLights

We braved the rain and went to the Zoo tonight for ZooLights. There were lots of really fun displays and Alex seemed to enjoy the spectacle.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a fun time with the Diamond side of the family for Thankgiving. Alex had a blast playing with his cousins, his Aunt and Uncle, and, of course, with Grandma and Grandpa.
