Alex is so funny and laughs all the time, especially at Evan. Evan and Alex love being around each other and are always playing or wrestling. Alex wants to be fed about every 20 minutes and likes to be picked up a lot so he can see all the things on the counter. He has limited patience when it comes to sitting still in a high chair or waiting on his food to be prepared. He loves to have books read to him & likes even more to rip out the pages, especially in flap books. He is so funny to watch and listen to when he babbles and tries to copy words or sneezes that others say or do.
He has 6 teeth (2 top middle, 3 bottom middle, and 1 back right molar). He wears a size 12 month top and 9 month bottom and size 3 diaper. He loves riding on toys and sitting beside the adults on the couch. He has so much energy it's a challenge to keep up with him!
We love you, Alex!
