Growing up TOO fast!!

Alexander is growing up at such an incredible rate. He now self feeds for every meal. Breakfast time he has a bottle and cereal. Lunch it's some fruit and a little bit of whatever I am having (turkey, bread, etc). Dinner time it's carrots, peas, and corn with a little bit of whatever Jason & I are eating. We barely ever feed him baby food anymore. It's so crazy.

He is sitting up in shopping carts and high chairs all by himself now.

He is pointing at things he wants! (Just ask Kevin, who sat laughing as Alexander pointed at the sofa talking. He obviously wanted to sit on the sofa, but aunt Katie had to pull him up since Kevin didn't quite get it).

He is talking. Granted it's not words I understand, but he is definitely looking at me and trying to communicate with me using words.

He crawls like crazy. Everywhere. Constant vigilance! (bonus points for people who get that Harry Potter reference) Luckily he hasn't discovered the kitchen or how to get to the bedrooms...yet.

Of course, he is pulling himself up too. He tries to stand up on his own, and while he is getting better at it, he definitely still needs more practice!

I can't believe he is going to be a whole year old one month from tomorrow! How time flies!
