Alexander and Jordan
February 13-26, 2006
Alexander: Things are back to normal now.
I have my mom and dad back full time. I am in daycare. I sit on
Jordan as much as I can...
Last weekend we went on a road trip to St. Cloud to go with
mommy while she rehearsed for a concert. We had to sit in an empty room
and wait, but at least we got out of the house. The next day we went over
to Ethan and Kyle's house. Their parents are friends with my parents, and
I like to play with their sons. They then came over this Sunday to play
while our parents visited.
I should mentioned that every night my parents read to me
before bed. Right now my favorite books are "101 Dalmations", "Kiss,
Kiss", and "The Cat in the Hat". Everyday I ask them to read them to me,
and fortunately I am so cute that they read them to me every time I ask.
Jordan: Well, I am crawling. It is
official. None of that combat crawling either. I am doing full hands
and knees, and I am fast. Just like with Alexander, my parents realize
that their lives are going to change forever now. Already, I am doing a
good job of finding every little piece of garbage, fallen food and lint on the
carpet and putting it in my mouth. Stairs are a constant source of anxiety
when my parents suddenly can't remember if they shut the gate and come running
into the living room to check (although, they never forget - they just get
overly worried).
I am really learning to appreciate how the world looks at
5am. That is the time that I get up most mornings. Actually, I like
to see the time change to 5am, so I get up a little earlier. This means a
couple of things can happen. Either I lay there and cry until I am picked
up or my parents come running in to get me up or they come running in to take me
into their bed. More often than not it is the last two choices.

1. After Jordan it was my turn.
What you can't see is all of the water on the floor and on the walls.
We both had a good time splashing a lot. 2. Why are you taking a picture right after I got out of bed? I haven't even had time to do my hair. 3. Carrying on the tradition of emptying the tupperware cupboard. |

say I slipped. 8. Let go, I am ready to walk on my own. 9. Look what I can do. |
