Poopy Pants?

Alex has had an unusual amount of cottage cheese type blowouts for the past few days. He is still the happiest baby on the block... but we can't help but be concerned. Our doctor said it's most likely a growth spurt and nothing to be concerned about unless he develops a fever or seems uncomfortable.

Alex is constantly smiling. Brent had a special moment with his son this morning. I was nursing Alex when Brent bent to kiss me goodbye to leave for work. Then he touched the back of Alex's head and said, "Bye baby." Alex pulled away and looked right at Brent and have him a huge smile. It was like he was saying, "Bye Dad! Have a good day!"

It was so adorable.

We had a great time last weekend visiting Lee and Marlys in Wisconsin. Alex was a big hit and was on his best behavior. A memorable event:

We were all eating lunch when Alex started fussing. He was laying on his blanket that we laid on the floor of the living room. Before anyone could get up, Lee had hopped up and scooped Alex up off the floor! Can you imagine?! He is 89 years old and spry enough to pick a baby off the floor! I was shocked. Then he sat with Alex on his lap while eating like it was the most natural thing in the world while Brent and I looked on admirably.

Alex gave both great grandparents big smiles when we left. He seemed to really enjoy the visit. It didn't hurt that Grandma Sue sat beside him in the car smiling and talking to him.

We forgot to grab our camera for the trip, so hopefully Sue and Larry will be able to give us some pictures of the visit.
