Life is as follows...

Well I figure I should post something since it has been a week. I haven't had a chance to upload pictures although I had the best of intentions to do so today. Alex is crawling way too fast for his own good. And now he has figured out how to pull himself up on things. He doesn't realize that many things can't support him such as: guitars, love sacs, toys etc. I have a feeling the bumps and bruises are just a start of things to come. Alex is learning how to do stairs. He doesn't catch on quick with those which I am not too upset about. At work he tries to go up and down but fails both ways. This week Alex will get a new cousin in Virginia they are going to name her Kaydee (sp). Unfortunately all of Alex's cousins that are close to his age are girls. He will have four girl cousins within an 11 month span. So we will have to make friends with little boys in the ward or something.
Chris is working four ten hour days so he is able to be home with us on Fridays. I don't work Fridays either. Chris is working on learning his guitars better both acoustic and electric. Most of his spare time is spent playing with Alex. Most of my time is spent chasing Alex or trying to do laundry. I wish I could say my house was spotless but...that isn't the case. But I was able to vacuum today. That was an accomplishment. I'm working three days a week these days. I am doing some of the book-keeping and invoicing. Things are getting harder now that Alex is mobile. I spend lots of time chasing him. But that is all part of life. Well I better go.

Valentines etc..

In our family Valentines isn't as big of holiday as many others. But Chris and I went out to dinner on Thursday night to beat the rush. We went to MacCool's in Layton, which was great. My mom watched Alex which was very nice. Then we ran to the mall for a couple things. It was great to have my mom watch Alex because he is on the go now most of the time. The only time he slows down is to eat and sleep and that is rare.
On Friday Chris had the day off and we ran some errands and looked at a couple houses. Then we went over to Missy and Brandon's house and hung out with Missy and the kids for a while. When I was feeding Alex on Friday night I decided to give him some of the cereal puffs. We have attempted to give him puffs on a few occasions. He hates them. He gags and normally throws up. Our pediatrician says just keep trying every now and then. So we tried once again on Friday night and the results were similar. He gagged on them and tried to spit them out.
On Saturday for the actual Valentines day we hung out with my family. My sister was up here and we hung out with her and she spent time with Alex. Who by the way loves Brittany. As some of you know Alex isn't friendly sometimes.
On Sunday we decided to go to my parents church since it was later. I decided to try to gel Alex's hair. It was pretty funny and it stayed in until this morning when I bathed him. Here are a few pictures.
Sorry the pictures are kinda weird. Still learning how to arrange and rotate pictures.

Alex is 7 Months

Alex turned 7 months on February 5th. Here are a couple pictures of what he did that day. He is getting so big. He is starting to crawl and I think he is trying to get some teeth. He is extremely chatty and he loves to get into things. He is still figuring out what animals are but he liked sitting on Chelsea.
