He is always grabbing everything. He has to grab whatever is put in front of him and put it in his mouth.

He can sit up!We torture our son in the following ways:
We stick our fingers in his mouth.We force him to make funny faces.
We dunk him.
We hang him upside down.
We tease him with ice cream.We don't help him.
We make him do the splits.
We laugh at him when he looks like this in the morning.Here are a few more things Alex does for which I do not have a matching picture:
He...
...sits cross legged.
...is very camera shy.
...laughs when we say, "Boo!"
...loves sleeping on his left side and will roll himself there to go to sleep.
...is bulimic. He sticks his hand so far in his throat that he gags. He has even made himself throw up.
...is very ticklish on his inner thighs.
...will not make noise if it is noisy around him.
...will sleep in his carseat for a long time.
I love Alex. He is the perfect cure for me when I am sad. He is the best son. I love his giggles and I cannot get enough of his tiny body. Sam and I are so grateful that he is a part of our family and we would not want it any other way.

I love the "This is how we torture him" section...haha;-)
Oh my adorable baby! What a sweetie! I love your pics and corresponding comments. By the way, Brook was a VERY slow weight-gainer (1 oz in 1 month at 9 months) and she has been perfectly healthy and developed right on if not before schedule, so I hope that helps you not worry too much! I was a basketcase over it!
He is a darling. I love to read all the wonderful things about him growing up. You are a wonderful mother.
Seriously Emily! Y'all have WAY WAY WAY too much fun with that son of yours! It's completely unfair! :)
