That's the word of the week. Everything is "me". If he wants something, "me". If he dropped it and wants it, "me". He's also saying up, high, "I see (you)", no, Oreo (or uh ah), hello, uh oh, and eat- of course he's saying mama and dada. I think there's more but that's off the top of my head.
He is very daring, standing on top of toys, climbing into the kitchen chairs, standing in the dog bowl, anything and everything.
He has begun to pull us in the direction he wants us to go- he just pulled Patrick closer to his vacuum so he could fix it. He has been putting things in our hands or moving our hands to things he wants us to do for him.
Alex is hitting and biting (mostly me). That's not fun and it really hurts. He's very curious. When he goes to new places he explores and runs everywhere. He's a mile a minute, non-stop B-O-Y.

Alex is dancing to Granny singing Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Forever let us hold our banners High High High High (and that's why he's raising his hands and saying Ah (high))

A busted lip
Today marks Alex's first busted lip. Daycare called me around 10am to say that Alex tripped over a toy, fell, and busted his lip. I went over there and checked on him and it looked gross- of course because it was fresh and he was sucking on it. It bled a lot they told me but he did fine. I called the doctor and they said as long as it didn't cut into the flesh he wouldn't need stitches. I'll post a pic later.

New Pictures
Click here for tons of new pictures
We've been so busy. Almost every weekend we're across the lake looking for a new home. Alex is a handful. He KNOWS what he wants and will cry and whine RELENTLESSLY until he gets it. I suppose his parents had NOTHING to do with that gene.

Our son is T-R-O-U-B-L-E
Today I get a note from daycare...he bit AGAIN. A kid took his toy and he bit her. Tonight when we were at home He was trying to hand me a toy, I guess I didn't do it fast enough and he bit me.
He wouldn't eat dinner....it's something he's eaten before.
He's climbing EVERYWHERE. He climbed into the bathtub last night, climbed on top of this car and fell back when it rolled, climbed on his Little People garage he got from Aunt Jen and then he fell and bit his tongue.
And, like his father, he has selective hearing. He can hear Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and "bye bye" but cannot hear "NO".
ugh...

More teeth
Maybe this will explain his extreme crankiness and clinginess. Sunday he had a slight fever and it was gone by Monday afternoon. Yesterday at his 15 month checkup while he was screaming from the doctor checking his ears and throat I saw the tooth coming in. It's the bottom right to the main first 2 teeth. So now he has 8 teeth, which he uses to bite me.
Click here and see the #4 teeth. Now he has 1, 2, 3, 4.

First taste of snowball
Alex tried his first chocolate and mango (not mixed, two different ones) snowballs tonight. He LOVED them. Now he's pretending to feed himself and Oreo with my cup and spoon.
We went to the zoo today and I have some pictures and when I finally get around to uploading them I'll put them up.

Agh, the F word
FEVER
Alex has had fever since Sunday night. He woke up from a nap with 103.5 fever, last night it got to 104.1, he's had so many baths and cool rags on him. He was a limp noodle yesterday. Today he finally perked up, and of course that was after Patrick took him to the doctor. The doctor said he wouldn't be surprised if he had roseola. However, the fever broke and we didn't see spots (*fingers crossed*).
Tonight he ate the most he's eaten in several days. He had rice and pork chops. He drank G2 Gatorade because he drinks more of that than milk and water.

Updates
It's been a while. Moving is so hectic. We're still not all the way out. We have about 5 things left. We had to rent another storage unit because the one we got just wasn't big enough. I'm sure there are some things we'll throw out :)
Alex has been tickling Oreo. He calls Oreo Deedee which we think is puppy. He tickles him too. He says dooka dooka for tickle tickle, it's the cutest!!
He's started searching for belly buttons so if you're close enough he'll lift your shirt, pinch your fat, and jam his finger in your belly button.
There's so much, but I have to upload the pics and video. We've been so busy it's undescribable.

a new trick
Today Alex learned to climb on the couch. Gone are the days I can leave him alone while I get ready for work. I have video, it's uploading...
Granny bought him a Handy Manny lawn chair and he climbs up that and stands.

We moved
We're out of our house and into Patrick's Grandma's house.
Today Patrick put up Alex's slide that he got for his birthday. He had tons of fun. He used the slide to go up and down. When we brought him to the ladder he tried to run back around to the slide.
I don't have pictures yet but it's so cute!
Well, gotta go move more stuff now. The closing is set for the 27th so soon we'll be completely out of the old house.

The cutest
Alex has been doing many things lately.
Tonight he opened his mouth for a Nilla Wafer and his noonie came tumbling out of his mouth and he said, "Uh oh".
When Patrick or I make a goat sound, he does it....so cute!
Tonight he was fussy to get to bed. Patrick was holding him, I made a bottle. Alex usually spits out his noonie for a bottle. When I held the bottle up, he put the noonie in Patrick's mouth and took the bottle.

A whirlwind of a weekend
Saturday was Stephanie's bachelorette party. Granny watched Alex. Mommy was soooo tired. We picked up Alex around noon. He had a diarrhea diaper. Then, he had one while we were there. He's had 3 since we were home in about 2 hours.
So, he has a virus...yay :( Alex gets everything. So on top of the breathing difficulties and coughing we have diarrhea after every meal and every bottle.
If anyone wants to babysit so Patrick and I can make money, let me know :)

....and we have black eye #2
Alex was playing basketball with me. He was trying to turn around to share his ball. He lost balance and hit the bottom side of a toy. He broke the skin under his right eye and it's bleeding very slightly and turned blue within a matter of seconds.
