Another Day

Rainy and cool today but we still got our walk in. Tomorrow it’s going to be 60+ so a good day to get out. Burk Lake Park will most likely be the destination. Alex loves to go for a ride in his backpack carrier and it gives me a good work out to boot. He loves to be up high and look at all the fun things. Sometimes he will nap while on my back. Those types of naps are nice as I don’t have to lay down with him to get him to sleep. He seems he needs a good cry before he will go down or occasionally warm milk will put him out. I don’t know if it is the age but lately he has become increasingly whinny and wiggly for telling me his needs.

Touch of spring

Yesterday was a touch of spring and 63 degrees. Fun to get Alex back outside for some play. The weather is going to be good all week so maybe I can finally get the cars cleaned and the planting beds cleaned too. We also have the bug to go fishing but too much to do this week. I Gotta bake bread today too as we have nothing for dinner or breakfast in the morning. I also have been cleaning out our closets as the piles of crap are getting to me.

Wanting to talk

The past couple of days Alex has really seemed to be really wanting to talk. He will have a long conversation with you in his own language of baby babble. He does lots of pointing and talking. I am wating for the day that he just blurts out a word or phrase. I get the feeling he is going to be a chatter box once he gets the hang of talking. I predict there will be know shutting him up. Busy Busy and Talk Talk will be his way in the future. I try to always talk to him and say what things are as he points. I hope that this is helping him learn. We try to read to him but his attention span is still quite short.

Good Day

Its only 1pm and the x-mas lights are down and packed away, Alex had a nap and lunch, Cleaned kitchen, cleaned up patio and now writting a Blog. I love days like these. It's fifty outside and sunny and we are going fishing. Whats for dinner Hmnn? I'll contiplate that while fishing.!!

Cabin Fever

Had to get out of the house today or the boy and I were going to go crazy. I get a bit down on the days of January. It's cold, glomy and short on light so not much to be happy about (the weather that is) so it was time for a daddy road trip to the park and some dad/son shopping. We went to Borders and got a beer mag. and then off to the fish store for some cheap tetras and the like. Alex and I always have a good time out and about. Tommorow it is off to our favorite local store "Wal-Mart" WoW so much to do and so little time.
