Allex has three teeth now - Two front on the bottom and one front on the top. It looks really cute.

He crawls quickly. He stands strong and straight. He attentively watches everything. He smiles and flirts with friendly people. He clapped his hands together for the first time.

Allex got his first puzzle from Kenny & Jenn at Christmas -one with large wooden shapes. He really likes it. Usually he just takes the pieces out. This time he put the round piece IN. Quite an accomplishment!

He got an ingeniously involved playhouse from Omi & Papa. It's a front door and window that open. On one side is things you would find on the outside of a house, like a mailbox, doorbell, rain gutter, flower pot, etc. On the other side is things you would find inside, like a light switch, doggie dish, clock, radio, etc. Each thing responds with music when activated. It is a great teaching device that keeps him entertained for a long time. I'll be doing my hair while he plays with it. I'll hear the music play repeatedly when he discovers a new thing. Like when he found the doorbell, he pushed it over and over. When he discovered how to flip the light switch, he did it over and over.

I love watching his progress. I never get tired of it.
