Bunny Hop
While playing with his wind-up bunny we learned that Alex (kind of) knows how to hop. He doesn't really get off the ground, but he has lots of fun trying!

Blizzard Watch
It is cold and snowy here, but fortunately the "blizzard" last night was not as bad as originally anticipated. However, we are dealing with negative wind chills so bundling up is the order of the day. Extra special thanks to cousin Anna for the awesome hat and mittens! Alex actually kept the mittens on, which is a huge accomplishment.

Food of the Day
Today we let Alex try peanut butter for the first time. Now, I know it can take kids many times of trying a food to like it, but come on, it's peanut butter! He ate a bit but was not really a fan. See Exhibit A below.
However, at lunch he made a new "food" discovery that was much more to his liking -- barbeque sauce. While we were eating he kept pointing to the bottle of BBQ sauce, so I thought I would let him try it, convinced that he wouldn't like it, and then we could move on. I put a small drop on his plate, he dipped his finger in, stuck it in his mouth, and loved it! He kept asking for more, and if we hadn't started putting his chicken and sweet potatoes in it, he would have just kept eating handfuls of the stuff by itself. You can't tell from the picture below just how much he was enjoying it, but that's only because he was kind of upset with us for not giving him more fast enough!

The Cow Says...
Moo! Alex knows this and will say it. It's so fun. Sometimes he will say "Baa" for the sheep (not as reliably as the cow). But the best is the elephant. When we make elephant noises we also accompany that with raising our arm like it's an elephant's trunk. So, if you ask Alex what the elephant says he will make the sound and raise his arm!

Yea for Cousins!
Alex's cousin Maria made him this awesome shirt for Christmas. (It says "Cousins love me!" and has pictures of him with most of his cousins.) He's so excited about it, as you can see.
