Time for an Update

Things must be crazy around here, so here it is! It is so nice to see the sun out and have a few nicer days. Alex has been able to get outside with us the last few days. We've headed to the park, and he loves it. But first, let me give you an update on what he's been up to. He is now 11 months old and getting ready for his first birthday! We are amazed that he is almost a year old already! Time flies. In the last few weeks he has been making strides at walking. He really is starting to get the confidence to let go. He has been taking about 5-10 steps from one thing to another. Today instead of crawling to where he wanted to go, he just turned and started walking. I think Kent and I just held our breath, like "wow, there he goes!" I'm just in another month he'll be walking everywhere. Another thing he has learned to do is shake his head no. It is quite funny actually! We're not quite sure if he knows what he is saying, but every once in awhile it makes sense when he shakes his head no!

We're trying to get a video off of our video camera for the blog, but for some reason it won't show up, so we'll keep working on it. For now, you'll just have to settle for the pictures! We've taken so many this last month, so I'll try to pick just a few of the best.

I'll post the pictures hopefully later this afternoon.
