For my birthday, Laura got me a flameworking class from the glass studio. We went and made our very own marbles… well, Laura did. Mine are more blob shaped, but it was a great time.

Park Day
The weather is really getting nice this past week. Today after lunch we all went to the park and played. Brooke and Alex got to swing next to each other, having a great time.

Easter 2015
Today was Easter, and Laura, Brooke and Alex went to the park in the morning while AJ worked. Alex got to swing in a swing for the first time today, he loved it. In the afternoon, after naps, Brooke went on an Easter egg hunt in our backyard and found all the eggs, she enjoyed the big chocolate bunny she got at the end and Alex likes his new bunny. We went out for dinner and Alex got to sit in a high chair unassisted for the first time as well. He did remarkably well, and considering Dad forgot the bib, he did really well eating at the table, barely getting any food on himself.

Daddy’s Week Off
For the past week I have been off of work and we’ve been making the most of it, having lots of family time. We played around the neighborhood, went to the park several days, and Alex, Laura and AJ went to the Norfolk Botanical Gardens one day while Brooke was in school. Alex has really taken to sitting up on his own, once you set him upright. He’ll sit there for quite a while now just playing and laughing. Alex also got his first bike ride today, and he couldn’t have been happier on the bike, smiling the whole way down the street.

Alex Jumping
Today Alex was being cute, playing in his jumper. He is a very smiley and happy baby, even while getting his first tooth in today. This evening we noticed a sharp tooth scratching us as he nibbled on our hands, and sure enough, his first tooth (the bottom right central incisor) was just poking through his gums.
