More Florida fun

Because you can never get enough fun in the sun (especially this time of year), here are some more pics from our Florida trip, courtesy of the real photographer in the family, Grandpa D. The bird Alex is chasing came really close to us where we were playing in the sand, and he was so excited that he followed the bird all the way to the water.

Sunny Florida!

We had a great trip to Florida to visit Grandma and Grandpa D. Alex loved the beach, being able to go without shoes, and the new park where Grandma and Grandpa live. Plus, he did pretty well on the plane rides (his first flights).

Three Boys in a Box

Alex's cardboard box clubhouse got a real workout this weekend. You can actually fit three kids inside, and even better if you turn it over it can be a slide. We had no idea, but Alex's friends Rafi and Sam showed him how. We had been thinking of getting him a climber/slide to help burn energy during the winter months, but who knew that we already had one in our house?!

A New Perspective

We had to do some repair work on the coffee table, which necessitated turning it on its side. Alex was quite interested in what was happening and was especially excited when he figured out that he could walk through the "tunnel" created by the tabletop and the shelf underneath.

Our Budding Card Sharp

What a relief! It looks like Alex has inherited the cards gene.

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.
