Dad, I think those girls in the other swing are talking about me…

You know how to whistle, don’t you? Just put your lips together and blow.


Bffffffft
  

That didn’t sound like a whistle!


Whistle?
  

Freaked out by grass, so I’ll go and play on the bark instead.

Bark is better...
  

...much better.
  

Shaggy and shorn: before the haircut, and after.

Just Cruisin’

A few weeks ago he started pulling himself to his knees; now Alex pulls himself to his feet whenever he can. And he has started cruising! If he pulls himself up on a suitable object, like a coffee table, he is just capable of inching himself sideways a little with his hands, and moving his little feet to keep up.

He’s still not very stable while doing this, but it’s a start. A start on the road to walking.
