Alex is at that adorable just-beginning-to-talk phase. He repeats just about everything we say (especially Claire), and talks/babbles all the time. Some of our favorite current words that he's saying are:
"ca-ca-e-meeeok" (chocolate milk)
"awl weh" (all wet)
"ta-da!"
"nigh-nigh" (night night)
"Go, gain, go!" (Go, train, go!)
"gean-gup" (clean up)
"poppy-pol" (popsicle)
I just love how his words and speech is developing. His cute little voice makes me giggle. But it can be so frustrating when I can't make out what he's saying. I feel so bad when he's obviously trying so hard to tell me something, but I can't figure what the heck he's saying. I know it will get easier as he gets older and I look forward to that...but I'll simultaneously miss the baby talk as well.
Alex is a snuggle bug and boy do I love it. He's so huggable and sweet - ack, sometimes I can't take it!

His love and joy in life is contagious. You simply cannot be sad with him around. He smiles, you smile. He laughs, you laugh. He is such a sweet, happy soul and I am blessed to be his mother.
I love when he does his little happy baby dance (need to post a video of this!)
I love when he runs and he throws his head back with joy
I love that he loves trains so much and how he enthusiastically says, "woo woo!"
I love that he can play on his own and is already a hard worker.
I love watching him concentrate on a task. He gets so serious and looks so much like Martin.
I love how obvious it is that he adores his sister. She can do no wrong in his eyes. He wants to be just like her and tries every day.
I love how gentle he is and how shy he can be.
I love watching him learn something new. You can see the wonder in his eyes.
I love how he loves me. I love how his face lights up when I come into the room and how he calls my name. I love that I'm still "Mama!" :)
