A month's worth of FUN!

Alex has had an eventful month as shown in the pictures below. He is a smiley, happy little guy and tons of fun.




Alex had his first Big Boy bath without the aide of an infant sling on 11/05/09. He LOVED it and kicked like a mad man!




Here is a sweet picture of Alex after a diaper change.



Playtime with his floor gym!



Above is a more serious picture of Mr. Alex Johnson in his "Cosby" sweater as it has been dubbed by Brent.



Here is Alex and his daddy admiring Brent's annual Fruit Pizza for his birthday celebration. YUMMY!



And here is Alex when we got home that night... he was completely worn out!



The bonding between baby and doggie. The below pictures are from a day trip to the Minneapolis Sculpture Gardens. We had a great time playing around.









Alex "flies" now with Dad!



After Alex's 4 month doctor appointment, he was cleared for baby cereal and a slow introduction to solids. He took his first bite of oatmeal on 11/25/09. He didn't really know what to think of it! But he ate it...



This is a picture from Thanksgiving. Alex and Aunt Sheri are getting a closer look at one another. I am pretty sure Alex wanted to eat her. He likes to put everything in his mouth these days. And yes, we have Teethers!! I am thinking any day now he will cut a tooth.



This is also a shot from Thanksgiving. Ashley and Alex are becoming friends now. Check out the video:





And finally, here is the Big Boy taken tonight. He loves his colorful bouncer and has drooled all over it! He loves to spin the dots and chew on the blue thing (hidden by the enormous hat!)

Alex is growing up. He is laughing out loud and we both predict he will be rolling over within a week. He is developing his own little personality and loves to spend time with mom and dad. He smiles easily and is starting to really investigate his surroundings.

Halloween!



Alex had a great weekend with his grandparents in Chisago to celebrate Halloween. Here are some pictures with cousin Ashley!



Very cute Johnson kids! Ashley was telling Alex all about her costume. Sheri was very good about initiating conversation between these two new cousins. Alex was just relieved to see another little person.


His shirt says "My First Halloween!"


Ashley and Sheri looking adorable.
This weekend was busy for us. Brent and I went to a party in Chisago and we all stayed the night with Grandma and Grandpa Johnson. Sue was kind enough to wake up with Alex so we really enjoyed our night out.
Then today we all watched as the Vikings defeated the Packers. Awesome!

Below is a video of Alex with his Chatty Pants on. He has been super talkative and blowing spit bubbles these days.
