Back to work

This is the first week back to work.  Its been two days and so far so good.  It's been kind of nice to get back to work.  I certainly have plenty to keep me busy there.  On Monday before I left for work I told Alex though, that if no one missed me, that I would just stay home with him the next day.  Grandma said I had to go at least the first week so she could get her cuddle time in with Alex.

It's been great having Mom here.  Thanks Mom!  We can ease back into work a little without having to do the drop off and pick up routine quite yet.  And Grandma cooks too!  Next week we will start taking him to Jeanne's.

He's been a lot of fun the last few weeks.  He talks and smiles all the time now.  He loves toys that hang on his play gym.  He loves it when people talk to him and smile at him and on Sunday he even laughed a little bit.  He's also in almost constant motion when he's awake.  He moves and kicks his feet.  He manages to hit his toys on the play gym but mostly by accident.  He hasn't quite coordinated his movements yet to get to something on purpose or grab toys.  And as of last week he's holding his head up all by himself.

March 13th - He's a big guy.  No more infant insert or blanket rolls for the car seat.

He loves Grandpa's attention.

We went to Grandma and Grandpa Bruzek's over St. Patrick's Day weekend while Mike was in Denver.

March 22nd = Shorts?

 In early March we noticed that Alex was really starting to pay more attention to objects and toys, especially those that hang on his play gym, so I bought him a mobile for his crib.  It's a hit!!  It plays soothing music, but it does not help him fall asleep.  It's too interesting!

Alex likes reading.  

He's starting to move more and more.  One day I put him in his crib for a nap and he wriggled and squirmed until he had his head up against the end of the crib.
