Alex is doing so wonderfully. I just love my little guy. He is just so cute and huggly you just want to eat him up. I love to hug and kiss him and make him giggle. He has the cutest laugh ever.

We measured him tonight. He is about 34 1/2 inchs tall and about 29 pounds. I got a few more measurements but I will have to add them in later.

Mamie is visiting this week. Last week Grandpapa Michel came with Agathe for Easter and the week before that Grand Maman Gertrude was here for about 10 days. Our visitors always come in threes it seems!

We joined the Stepping Stones Museum while Grandpapa was here visiting. The kids just loved it. Alex loved playing in the water scape. Charles and Mamie took the kids again on Sunday while I took some time off to shop. They had a great time.

Alex is triing to say more and more words, but still has trouble getting the right sounds out. He can say everything eh was saying at 19 months plus a few words here and there. the one thing he is doing differently now is taht he can tie two words together like Au Revoire Mamie or En bas Maman. Actually I think he just recently started to say Mamie and Papy, so those are new.

He has about the same sleeping schedule. He was as easy as pie to put down up until 2 days ago. we don’t know what happened but Mamie put him down for a nap and he flipped. I went to see him adn she had forgotten his sleep sack and had not closed the blinds but still it was no reason for him to be so upset .I had to stay with him to console him otherwise he would not sleep. He did the same things 3 times in a row. He would just wail and wail until we went back in. LAst night though Charles just stayed near the end of the bed and slowly moved out and this seemed to work. He didn’t like it and he did wimper but eventually fell asleep. WE did the same thing today and it worked alright, but it’s so odd because he was just soooo easy to put to bed the last 6 moths or so. We hope it’s just a short phase and that he will go back to being easy.

One this he now does is hum tunes or sing La la to different tunes. It’s really cute. He likes to read more and more and is showing interest in knowing what different things are in the books. WE recently bought a cloth parachute and he really loves it. THey also us that at the his french class and he has a ball with it.

Oh and we had an Easter egg hunt with every one from our play group and Jordan. The kids just had a blast. We hid over 200 eggs all over the back yard. We did another mini Easter egg hunt on EAster Sunday. Alex was really into it. he loved looking for them and putting them in his little bad. He of course went nuts trying to open them when he figured out there were Chocolate inside some of them!!

He still eats very well over all but we stil have a tough time feeding him fruits and veggies. His favorite fruit is now water melon and Cantaloupe. He won’t eat grapes at all, sometimes apples, sometimes banana. it’s just so odd! He will eat red peppers sometimes and carrots, more so if there is dip like hummus. He LOVES hummus! He will eat pretty much any pasta and enjoys eating his cereal with milk like Chloe. I give him oatmeal sometimes too and he likes that. He enjoys most breakfast foods. He drinks on average about 3 bottles a day. When we give it to him varies. I sometimes give him one arond 10:00am and then a small one fore nap and another before bed at night. But sometimes he just get one before bed each time or one when he wakes up from nap.

He is teeting I think. He has been cranky lately and red on teh cheeks. He is drooling and keeps putting his fingers in his mouth. He also has been getting this weird skin reaction. It looks like mosquito bites. if he scrathes himself it puffs up. We are not sure what to make of it but will probably have to go see the Allergist about it soon. I actaully thought he might be fussing to sleep because he was either teething or had an ear infection, but he doesn’t have a fever and in general he is in a good mood.

He loves to listen to music and dance with Chloe. They do ring around the rosie, it’s so cute. He loves his trucks and cars, but also enjoys dressing up with CHloe. Playing outside though is by far his favorite thing to do. He coudl live out tehre. He loves the little red coupe and the tricycle. He really knows how to manouver them well.

What else? I’am sorry I’m all over the place tonight but it’s late and I really have to go to bed so I’m not thinking straight!

I should probably go to bed and continue some other times. We love you Alex!

Mouagh!
