Pictures from Thanksgiving and Early December

Here's a not too great picture of Alex's tooth. It's on the bottom on his right side, you can just see a tiny little white speck. He is starting to feel better from his ear infection, but is still getting the icky pink medicine which he hates. There are a ton of pictures of him in his high chair because I am trying to catch the fishy face he makes, especially when he doesn't want to eat something. He pushes his lips way out and breathes fast and loud through his nose. It's so funny, but every time I try to get it on camera, he smiles instead. We were trying to trick him by giving him his medicine syringe to make him do it, but he would smile as soon as the camera started to take and then go back to blocking the medicine. He's too funny. He's also been mastering drinking through a straw and enjoys eating bread...so check out those pictures too.
Alex is crawling all over the place, mostly with his little crabby crawl with the left leg out and the right knee down. He is starting to be able to go pretty fast and is pretty fearless to explore now. He also loves to stand, can pull himself to stand and lets go sometimes. He even began a few tentative cruising steps along the ottoman and couch today.

He found the door stoppers, and likes to make them go bo-ing bo-ing. Here's a video of that new fun.

He doesn't like to stay still for a second, so often while trying to change or dress him, I end up with a naked baby crawling away. We spent Thanksgiving with some friends down the street at the Smet's house. It was fun and Alex got to play with some other kids. One little girl named Abby really liked him. We decorated for Christmas this weekend and went to the Wing Holiday Party on Saturday night. I had a good time dancing with the girls and then my friend Alice came over and we played SingStar.

Tomorrow I start my new job on base so it will be busy around here for the next 2 months. That's about it. Here are the pictures from Thanksgiving and Early December.
