We decided to take a break from the heat today and spent the afternoon in the Chrysler Museum of Art.

Alex’s first pool time and shower time
Saturday was the first day we went in the pool as it opened for the summer. We have long known that Alex was a water baby like Brooke and true to that he loved the pool. Alex also had his first shower which he took with dad. We also got him a little floaty to use in the pool while I have just the two of them to make it easier to watch both. (Don’t worry, I am in the water just out of frame with Alex, AJ is taking that picture.)
Alex is 9 months old
Today was Alex’s 9 month well child check as he turned 9 months. He weighs 24.5 lbs and is 30.1 inches long. Dr. Mink says that he is doing great! At 9 months Alex is so close to crawling and likes to rock and scoot to get where he wants to be. He loves laying down in the tub and splashing like crazy and pushing himself from one end of the tub to the other. He claps his hands. He has 4 front teeth and according to Dr. Mink is soon going to get some more. He loves playing with us and his sister and his friends at stroller strides. He drools everywhere! He eats purees but also eats small pieces of table foods: salmon, bread, crushed beans, rice, shredded chicken, cheese, etc. He will put anything in reach in his mouth. He loves to stick out his tongue and make noises like ‘da da da’, ‘ba ba ba’, and now occasionally ‘ma ma ma.’
Brooke’s 3rd Orange Birthday Party
Today was Brooke’s 3rd Birthday Party. She wanted an orange party and AJ and I think we did a pretty good job making everything orange including orange only food. We all dressed in orange and had a lot of fun with the many friends who came to celebrate with Brooke.
